Keri Hilson – Green Light (full) – listen
A slew of older Keri Hilson records leaked earlier this week, and of that material is The Clutch-produced and penned “Green Light.” Keri wasn’t too happy about the leaks, as some may have read from the comments from her Twitter, but she hasn’t been the only one not immune to the mass leaks of records. Other singer/songwriters, like Ne-Yo have had trouble with leaks this week as well.
Monica – All I Know (full) – listen
Monica just released her album, Still Standing and it seems like bonus tracks have been popping up all over the place. The original release of the album only has 10 tracks, but with the bonus tracks adding up, the Bryan-Michael Cox-produced “All I Know” makes the album round out to 13 tracks.

Bobby Valentino – Rockin’ With the Best (full) – listen
Bobby Valentino is working on his new album, Fly On the Wall. Check out the new track, “Rockin’ With the Best,” produced by The Neptunes. Honestly, I kind of like the song, but then again, I’ve always been partial to Neptunes productions. It sounds like some of Pharrell and Chad’s older work, which is interesting, and very refreshing.
Tyrese feat. Sean Garrett – Like I Used To (full) – listen
Tyrese is working on his fifth studio album, the follow-up to 2006′s Alter Ego. There’s no word on an album title or a single yet, but a couple of tracks have leaked from the upcoming project. The most recent of the material is “Like I Used To,” featuring songwriter-turned-artist, Sean Garrett, who has been struggling to his solo project off the ground.

Jagged Edge – Still My Girl (full) – listen
Jagged Edge has been working on their new album, The Remedy, which is supposed to drop sometime this summer. “Still My Girl” is apparently from those sessions. I actually like this song, it sounds different from a lot of the material they have recorded over the years. The track has a different sound, which makes the boys sing a little differently than how I’m used to hearing them.
Lloyd feat. Mystikal – Set Me Free (full) – listen
Check out new music from close Concrete Loop friend and supporter, Lloyd. “Set Me Free” must be from the batch of new material that Lloyd has been working on for his new album. It’s been rumored that Lloyd will release his new album via Young Money, considering all the work that he has done with them for the past couple of years. The track was produced by Bangladesh. It’s a little different sound from him, he is usually very drum heavy, but the horn sample is an interesting twist.

Macy Gray – Beauty in the World (full) – listen
Macy Gray is back with this lively, cheerful tune, the first single from her new album, The Sellout. Macy calls the album her best work to date, and this catchy track could do very well commercially. Can’t wait to hear that duet, though, with “legendary” Bobby Brown!
Ryan Leslie – When I Think about Love (I Do, I Do) (full) – listen
Ryan Leslie stays busy making music; the man released two albums last year and is expected to release another later this one. His debut was great, but Transition pretty much sucked and this new, unreleased track overshadows nearly everything from it.
Nappy Roots – In My Hometown (full) – listen
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Nappy Roots. But this track, which makes perfect use of Adele’s “Hometown Glory”, would make for a great lead single for their new album, Pursuit of Nappyness, which hits stores April 20.
Ne-Yo – Drinks Up (full) – listen
Music has been leaking from Ne-Yo for a while now, and here’s the latest dedication to all the independent misses. No word on whether this will be included on his currently untitled fourth album, which is slated for release some time in August, but it should.
