No true playlist this week. I haven't been rocking to certain tunes, been lax ever since I got this new gig (I got you, though, Spectreheads!). I do still accumulate a shitload of leaked material, from various blogs and other sources, so let's just get that out there in the forefront:
Fabolous ft. Jay-Z & Uncle Murda "Brooklyn"
Lauryn Hill "Lose Myself"
Rihanna "Shut Up & Drive" and "Say It", from her forthcoming Good Girl Gone Bad
DJ Khaled ft. Young Jeezy, Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, Fat Joe & Juelz Santana "Brown Paper Bag" (not to be confused with the Roni Size/Reprazent classic)

Young Buck "Daydreams"
Radio rip of Beanie Sigel's "Creep Low"
2 new Common tracks: "Black Maybe" and "Misunderstood" (I believe both of these are from Finding Forever album, but who knows...)

N.O.R.E. ft. Three 6 Mafia "Don't Worry I'll Wait"
Marques Houston ft. Juelz Santana "Wonderful (Remix)"
