Kevin Cossom – Make Love Thru the Speakers (full) – listen
Check out new music from Kevin Cossom. “Make Love Thru the Speakers” was produced by Bangladesh. It’s been a minute since we’ve heard anything since his single with Fabolous and Diddy. I think it’s safe to say that the singer/songwriter has gone back to the drawing board for his solo project.

Estelle offers up the official remix to her single, “Break My Heart.” The Swizz Beatz production finds Estelle spitting a few bars, but that doesn’t come as much of a surprise, considering that the songbird started off as a rapper. Estelle’s new album, All of Me, is slated to drop this fall.

With the digital release of Tha Carter IV set for Sunday following the VMAs, it was only a matter of time before new tracks from Lil Wayne surfaced. The Boi-1da and Matthew Burnett-produced“It’s Good”, featuring Drake and Jadakiss, includes Wayne spitting a comeback (which features a threat to kidnap Beyonce) to Jay-Z’s line on “H*A*M” about baby money:
“Talkin’ ‘bout baby money, I got your baby money/Kidnap your b*tch, Get that ‘how much you love your lady?’ money.”
Following the release of “H*A*M” earlier this year, Lil Wayne told MTV News, “Actually the subject that he’s talking about in that line, I can’t box with the god with that, nah mean. I’ll be the first one to tell you that. Given my wit and the type of person that I am, I’ll capitalize and I’ll play off of it.”
Wayne, who’s nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Collaboration at the VMAs, will also hit the stage to perform.
