♫ Cassie feat. Lil’ Wayne - Official Girl (Remix) (full) - listen
So, the first single from Cassie, “Official Girl,” did not jump off as Bad Boy expected it to. I think that was made pretty obvious by all those rumors circulating about her and Diddy being in a relationship, or tying the knot. I love “Official Girl,” but I don’t think they pushed it like the should have. And even though The Clutch and Danjahandz did a wonder job on the song, here goes Bad Boy doing what they think will be the next best thing: adding Lil’ Wayne into the mix.

♫ Young Jeezy feat. Jay-Z - Put On (Remix) (full) - listen
Here’s an official remix to “Put On” from Young Jeezy, which, of course, is huge in Atlanta. You can’t get into your car or go into a club or party without hearing this song about three times. And now Jay-Z is on it? People are going to eat this up, just like they did “Go Crazy” from Hov and Jeezy. This collaboration with inevitable.

♫ Joe - Can’t You See (full) - listen
New material from Joe. Even though this new song, “Can’t You See” sounds a little dated, Joe still remains one of my favorite male vocalists, especially after his delivery on his last album, Ain’t Nothin’ Like Me. I wasn’t really digging this song at first, but the more and more I listened, the more I got into the song. I guess it’s one of those songs that has to grow on you, considering that I found it a little boring and slow towards the beginning.

♫ Tank - Take It All (full) - listen
Tank, please do not tease us! Let us know whether or not this is new music from new sessions, or if this is leftovers from the Sex, Love & Pain album. I’ve definitely heard better from Tank, but I just think he’s an extremely talented individual. Tank’s delivery is always on point, and he always does great material for other artist. He had some real gems on Jamie Foxx’s and Kelly Rowland’s albums. I hope he’s working on a new project, and I hope he goes in with Timbaland.
