9. Justin Timberlake - "Suit & Tie" (Ft. Jay-Z)
Last time we heard from Justin Timberlake he was trying to bring sexy back. Six years later, he's bringing back something else: 70s soul (not that it ever left, mind you). "Suit & Tie" is a slinky tune that winks and nods to the likes of the Delfonics or a sedated Marvin Gaye. JT vows to "show you something" in his patented falsetto. Jigga, simply happy to glide along, uses his guest spot to flex and salute his in-laws: "Tell your mother that I love her cause I love you/Tell your father we go farther as a couple/They ain't lose a daughter, got a son."More »
8. Pusha T - "Millions" (Ft. Rick Ross)
"Millions" pairs Pusha T with MMG boss Rick Ross. That hardbody beat sounds familiar, as do their subject matter—drug game, fly chicks, etc.— but the execution makes it a solid listen. You can find "Millions" on Pusha T's Wrath of Caine mixtape.More »
7. Raekwon - "New Day" (Ft. Freddie Gibbs)
Easily the highlight from Raekwon the Chef's undercooked Lost Jewlry.More »
6. Rockie Fresh - "The Future"
MMG rookie Rocky Fresh has a thing for Back to the Future. Last year, he released a song and music video inspired by the film series. His new single, "The Future," continues that theme, movie samples and all. "Driving a DeLorean/Feelings of being born again," he raps. The autotuned anthem appears on Rockie's mixtape, The Electric Highway.
Tweetable: "I'd rather listen to Taylor Swift than most of you ni--as."More »

Just two months removed from his debut, Dreams & Nightmares, Meek Mill is already back on the saddle. Next up is: a third Dreamchasers mixtape, with "From Da Bottom" leading off the campaign. Meek has been wrapped up in a battle with fellow Philly rapper Cassidy lately. He doesn't address that here, but he does address a host of unnamed haters.More »
3. THURZ - "Acura Legend"
Acura Legend was the only car I ever wanted as a snotty-nosed lad. So Thurz had me from the title alone. Then, the track kicks in and it's all gritty drum shivers doing donuts around grimy synths and hi-hats, while Thurz drapes braggart rhymes over the mix, and I'm six all over again.More »
2. Ill Bill - "Truth"
