50 Cent – Criminal Wave (full) – listen
50 Cent has had a couple of setbacks while trying to release his fourth studio album, Before I Self Destruct, but music continues to leak. The new track, “Criminal Wave,” honestly, has been some of the most promising material I’ve heard from the album. Before I Self Destruct is set to hit stores on November 23rd, which is a big release date for a lot of artists.
Toni Braxton – Woman (full) – listen
One of my personal favorites, Toni Braxton has announced a while back that she was releasing her new album, Pulse, later on this year. It seems that now, she’s pushing the album back to 2010. This new track, “Woman,” was produced by Kuya and is supposedly a leak from the sessions from the new album. I’m eager to see what Toni’s album is going to sound like, considering the difference in a lot of the materials that have leaked. We’ll see!

Ester Dean – Yeah Right (full) – listen
Since the release of the “Drop It Low” video, featuring Chris Brown, since getting their first look at Ester Dean, people have been eager to hear more material from her. We’ve heard her perspective as a writer, but folks wanted to hear more of Ester Dean as an artist. “Yeah Right” is supposedly a track that leaked from Ester’s album, which we have heard very little information about it. It’s produced by a team known as the Knightwritaz. Although not as catchy as “Drop It Low,” I see the potential in Dean’s material.
Ne-Yo – Love You (full) – listen
Seems as though more music from Ne-Yo has leaked, and this time, it’s “Love You,” produced by Chuck Harmony. Not sure if this is really material that Ne-Yo is cooking up for himself, because it could very likely be a demo for someone else. Some people may argue that Ne-Yo’s songs all sound alike, but this track really just obviously exposes Ne-Yo’s versatility. How you can go from this, to writing tracks like the new Rihanna single, “Russian Roulette” is truly incredible.

Lady Gaga – No Way (full) – listen
Lady Gaga is preparing to rerelease her debut album, The Fame Monster on November 24th. The album will supposedly contain all of Gaga’s videos, as well as a couple of new tracks. Although the first single from the rerelease, “Bad Romance” has been leaked in demo form, the blogosphere is still awaiting the final version. But before we get that, we get “No Way,” a track produced by Fernando Garibay, and supposedly will appear on the rerelease.
Tami Chynn – To the Floor (full) – listen
Tami Chynn is currently working on her new U.S. debut, Primadonna and apparently has a new label deal worked out. “To the Floor” was produced by RedOne, who is largely responsible for a lot of Lady Gaga’s music, including her hit, “Just Dance.” Tami is also working with the production, singing and writing duo, Rock City and is supposedly going to drop a single at the end of this year, with her album coming out at the first quarter of this year.

T.I. – Hell of A Life (full) – listen
An unfinished version of this track leaked a while back, and was said to be the first single from the rerelease of his latest album, Paper Trail, but here’s the new, final version of “Hell of A Life,” which was produced by Danja. It’s no word on whether or not the rapper, who is currently behind bars, will actually rerelease the album, but we’ll see.
Keri Hilson – Heart Attack (full) – listen
Another track from previous sessions between Keri Hilson and her penning partners, The Clutch has leaked. “Heart Attack” sounds a little more R&B than the tracks that appear on Keri’s debut album, In A Perfect World…, but that material is still very much up to par. But I can see how it didn’t fit in the mix. Unfortunate that it leaked though, because this track could have definitely been sold to someone else.
