Kanye West – Stronger (full) – download
I think I might just like this song because of the sample of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk, which just happens to be one of my favorites. Kanye sounds good too, I just think this is an overall nice song. I wasn’t really listening to the words, because I was so focused on how he sampled this song. I just think it’s very interesting what we’re using these days to be more innovative.

Rihanna – Haunted (full) – download
This is a bonus track that leaked from Rihanna’s “Good Girl Gone Bad.” I can totally see why this was left off of the album. It doesn’t really fit the overall feel of the album, beside it being a dance record. This song just seems like Rihanna hitting the studio to have a little fun. After listening to Rihanna’s album, I can completely appreciate what she’s trying to do, aside from her voice not really doing anything for me. But “Haunted” is definitely album-filler leftovers.

Kelly Rowland feat. Snoop Dogg – Ghetto (snippet) – download
Looks like Kelly Rowland’s album is coming out. I’m glad too, because it’s been a long time coming. A low quality snippet had leaked of this song, but a much longer, super-clear version has finally been released, complete with Snoop Dogg. Although I don’t too much prefer the lyrics to this song, I really enjoy the production and the way Kelly’s voice rides the track. I think this tempo is a good look for her.

Rich Boy feat. Polow Da Don & Rich Boy – Good Things (full) – download
Apparently, the third single from Rich Boy’s album is “Good Things,” produced by the homie Polow Da Don, and featuring my homegirl Keri Hilson. This is actually production and content-wise, one of my favorite songs from Rich Boy’s debut album, which has garnered him much success. “Throw Some D’s” was a huge record, “Boy Looka Here” got a lot of play in the clubs, but I think this is definitely a radio friendly hit.
