Kanye West & Jay-Z - H.A.M.
Hard as a motherfucker (H.A.M.... = acronym fail?) is the first official release from the rap heavyweights' collaborative effort Watch The Throne. Lex Luger lays down a colossal monster of a beat for Kanye & Jigga to go apeshit on, which ends up sounding like the rap music equivalent of a Roman-style gladiator bloodbath. Listen on YouTube.

Chris Brown - Look At Me Now featuring Busta Rhymes & Lil' Wayne
Chris Brown tries his hand at rapping on possibly the most attention-seeking track he's ever been on, and dedicates the majority of his verse to his penis. Alongside him is a totally in-his-element Busta Rhymes and a sub par Lil Wayne, who admits in his verse that he's "not even trying". The beat is big and on-point, but Brown needs to learn that not everyone can sing and rap ala Drake. Listen on YouTube.

Eminem - Syllables featuring Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Ca$his & Stat Quo
Unreleased track from 2007 in which the old Shady Records roster put the music biz under the microscope claiming that all people care about nowadays is a catchy beat and hook rather than what the song is actually about. Just because they're hypocrites, doesn't make them wrong. Listen on YouTube.

Eminem - Cocaine featuring Jazmine Sullivan
Sullivan's soulful tones over a mellow beat compliment the on-form, not-as-angry-sounding Eminem like you never thought they would, and provides another random collaboration for Em that defo works out musically. Listen on YouTube...

Wiz Khalifa - Black and Yellow (G-Mix) Featuring Snoop Dogg, T-Pain & Juicy J
Wiz Khalifa's Pittsburgh anthem has had the remix treatment from just about everyone, keen to replace 'black and yellow' with whatever colours represent their post codes. The G-mix is an official remix from the man himself, featuring one of his Taylor gang lackeys, and both welcome and unwelcome contributions from Snoop Dogg and T-Pain, in that order. It doesn't really matter who jumps on the track however, cos all the real credit goes to Norwegian production team Stargate (Ne-Yo's "Closer", Rihanna's "What's my Name") who crafted the haunting synths atop an anthemic, club friendly beat and in doing so give young Wiz his biggest song to date. Check out the offical video to the ORIGINAL or download the featured remix below.
