*SeVen Jam$ of the wEEk*

1. "Life is Good" - Mos Def - Aiming at a bigger, better picture, Mos Def tells people to "stay humble, be proud, cry when you need to, and laugh out loud." A track that I could listen to over and over and over and over - do you get it yet? - and over again. 

2. "The Sky Might Fall" - Kid Cudi - As Kid Cudi continues to do his thing. He also brings a new style and sound different from the rest. This track carries a similar sound to what we heard on 808's & Heartbreak but with Kid Cudi's spacey, man on the moon twist. 

3. "Topless" - Dr. Dre ft. T.I. & Nas - It's Dr. Dre. He may not have a line in the track, but I repeat - IT IS DR. DRE. 

4. "It's America" - Rodney Atkins - With spring quickly approaching, country music will be picking up. And this is just the start. Real good song. 

5. "Knock You Down" - Keri Hilson ft. Kanye West & Ne-Yo - A powerhouse and gentleman of R&B - Ne-Yo, comes together with R&B's rising star Ms. Keri Hilson. Add in a sprinkle of Kanye West - and you get a real cool, upbeat track.

6. "I Be Doin' Me" - Red Cafe ft. Ross Fortune - Big fan of Red Cafe, I just wish he would release an album. 

7. "Easy Does It" - Jake Owen - He is one of those rising stars. His second album came out not too long ago. As the weather warms, the country music comes out.
