Kanye West feat. Chris Martin – Homecoming (full) – listen
It’s drawing closer and closer to the release of Kanye’s much anticipated Graduation album – so you know it’s time for tracks to leak. “Homecoming” is the latest to be found. It features Coldplay front man, Chris Martin, whom the hip hop community has taken a liking to. I really like the song, I’ve been listening to it over and over again. The production, of course, is tight and I just like the overall vibe of the song. Don’t shoot me, but it sort of reminds me of Elton John. It’s the piano. Anyway, Graduation is out September 11!

Omarion feat. Kat DeLuna – Cut Off Time (full) – listen
I’m a fan of dance music, and the production on this song gives me that all day long. Although I can’t say right away that I’m a fan of either Omarion or Kat DeLuna, but there’s something about this song that I like. But where is it coming from? I know Kat’s album had a limited amount of songs, and Omarion is working on the Face Off with Bow Weezy… I don’t know, we’ll see.

Cherish – Shoe Fanatic (full) – listen
I knew Cherish was up to something when I heard that song “Keep It Fresh,” and even though I wasn’t feeling that, as mediocre and materialistic this song is, there is something fun about it. And I have to admit, the girls don’t sound bad. As gimmicky as they are (the whole twin sisters, and then extra family members thrown in – and they harmonize really well with eachother), I can’t take away the fact that these girls really do sound good together. New album in the works?

Alicia Keys – No One (snippet) – listen
I need to hear the whole thing. I like what I’ve heard, but I really hear the whole thing because snippets this short always get me into trouble. I either like the snippet, or hate the whole song, or hate the snippet and love the whole song – it never fails. I’m glad that Alicia is coming back out though. Seriously, she looks absolutely amazing in those new promo pictures that Angel posted.
