♫ Pussycat Dolls feat. Darkchild, Diddy, Lil’ Wayne & Fatman Scoop – When I Grow Up (Remix) (full) – listen
Lil’ Wayne is on everything! But that’s besides the point. This remix goes hard! Even though the Pussycat Dolls are hardly on the track, I am definitely digging the remix, produced by Darkchild and featuring a host of other cameos! It just seems like it would be a cool, radio-friendly track. I hear a bit of an MJ sample in the track as well. Love everyone’s delivery on this track.

♫ Usher – His Mistakes (full) – listen
Hmmm. Usher is gearing up to release “His Mistakes” for his third single from his latest LP, Here I Stand. Even though I like “His Mistakes” as an album cut, I’m not sure if I’m really all smiles about it being released as a single. “Love In This Club” was very misleading, as far as the rest of the content on the album. I really think that the label is trading low by releasing this as a single.

♫ Karina Pasian – Winner (full) – listen
Check out this new beautiful song from the young songstress, Karina Pasian, entitled “Winner.” I love the sound of this girls voice. I love the fact that she just knows where to go and what to do with her voice, it feels like she has so much control and knows exactly where her sweet spots are. Not to mention, I’m digging the production. This is a cool cut from her debut album, First Love, which is slated to hit stores and online August 19th.

♫ Ja Rule feat. Robin Thicke – Pushin’ It (full) – listen
Robin Thicke has been appearing on a lot of guest spots! First, Eve’s new single, now some new music from Ja Rule, who seemed to have some problems getting a positive response when he tried to release his new album, The Mirror. Apparently, Ja sampled Rick Ross’s “Push It” for the new song. I think the song is pretty solid, but I’m not sure if anything could revive or rejuvenate any excitement for Ja Rule’s comeback. I think his season might be up…
