♫ 50 Cent - Get It In (full) - listen
Check out 50 Cent’s second single from his new album, Before I Self Destruct, which has had a couple of problems as far as release. The new song is produced by Dr. Dre, who 50 has garnered plenty of success with. I was a little confused, because “Get It In” is so close to the title of the first single, “Get Up,” which we posted back in October. The new single isn’t anything really to write home about, but I guess it’ll serve it’s purpose.

♫ Teairra Mari - Holla (full) - listen
I’m super excited about Teairra Mari’s new project, actually. This is exactly the direction that I think she should be taking with her music. Even though it’s quite different from the more urban songs that she recorded for her 2005 debut, I think that this music suits Mari vocally. I can’t wait until her new video for “Hunt 4 U” drops and when there’s some more official information about the album.

♫ Bow Wow feat. Jermaine Dupri - Rock Da Mic (full) - listen
Sorry we were a little late with this one, but check out the new single from Bow Wow, featuring Jermaine Dupri. Although Bow isn’t signed to the SoSo Def imprint anymore, the two reunited for this new song and Jermaine has said that Bow Wow is like a son or little brother to him, and they will always work together. Although the song isn’t quite my cup of tea, I can see the gimmick and it will definitely get a lot of radio and video play.

♫ London feat. Sweet Rush - Trust Me (full) - listen
These two Motown/Universal signees team for the song “Trust Me.” It seems as though a lot of London’s material is finding its way to the internet. What’s going to be left for his album? Stuff seems to be leaking left and right. I actually am digging this mellow track. I was expecting to hear a little more from the girls from Sweet Rush (check out their MySpace), but their performance on this track was pretty limited.
