// KiD CuDi - Mojo So Dope // *HOT!*
I've always liked Cudi, but this is probably the first time I felt comforted by the sound of his voice. It never really occured to me how much I dig that grizzly monotone of his. Props to Cudi's longtime production mate, Emile. Keep this one on repeat, kids...

// Yelawolf f. Gucci Mane - Wanna Party //
I'll be the first to admit, sometimes I'm just late to the party. Such is the case when it comes to Alabama-based rapper Yelawolf. I finally got on board after hearing him on Big Boi's "Ain't No DJ". Now guesting on tracks with some of rap's biggest acts, Yela is now focused on getting in with his idol: Eminem. Look for his debut, Trunk Muzik, dropping this year.

// T.I. f. Lil' Wayne - Yeah //
Off T.I.'s recently-released Fuck A Mixtape. It's always nice to hear Weezy without the autotune. He does it well, but I'll take his original sound over that any day. There's a throwback quality to this track, and I love it. Two kings doin their thing..

I have no idea what a "Hot Toddy" is, but this collabo is unstoppable. Also consider that Ester Dean's vocals are just a reference for Ciara, who's to fill the female part on the final release. HUGE track for the clubs but still a solid choice for a house party. Welcome back, Ursh.

// Nelly - Tippin' in the Club (Clean) //
Vintage! Love him or hate him, the guy can still make a hit record. It's very unlikely he'll ever drum up another "Dilemma", but he's in good shape if his next album, Nelly 5.0, sounds more or less like this. Kind of a lame-duck album title, but you know it'll sell just fine.

// Natalia Kills - Zombie (Kleerup Remix) //
As we continue in the era of electro-pop, it looks like we can expect to see many more newcomers like Natalia Kills taking their shot at stardom. The protege of BEP's will.i.am, the brunette stunner's single, "Zombie" recently got a little love from Kleerup. Which is better: the original or the remix?

// KiD CuDi f. Kanye West - Erase Me //
A nod to Weezer? I'm not crazy about this song, but it showcases how dynamic Cudi is. Right now, he's the best at changing gears and never losing stride. Kanye's just alright on this one.

// Jens Lekman - The End of the World is Bigger Than Love //
I was wild about Lekman's 2007 album, Night Falls Over Kortedala. The Swedish singer's "The Opposite of Hallelujah" is a classic, in my opinion. Here is the lead single from his yet-to-be-release album.

// Ludacris - How Low (DJ Philistine Shine On Remix) //
I yawned over Battle of the Sexes, but this remix from smalltime DJ Philistine puts an interesting spin on the lead single "How Low". It's basically a mashup with a remix of Sunloverz' "Shine On". Not a bad idea to throw this on a party playlist.

// J. Cole - Problems //
The promising young member of Jay-Z's Roc Nation label, J. Cole has been hard at work releasing street singles and prepping his first studio album, Cole World. Lyrically, he's consistently solid, and I like how addresses some real issues in this song. J. Cole is definitely one to keep an eye on.
