Hate if you want, but I'll give this a d(^_^)b guarantee.
John Legend shares his second single in one week as he taps "Rich Forever" collaborator Rick Ross for the soulful "Who Do We Think We Are." If this and "The Beginning" are any indication, his album Love In The Future will be what R&B needs in 2013.
Rihanna lets the two of them, along with Juicy J and T.I. (who had the best verses to me) take on the her Mike Will produced club anthem "Pour It Up" as she took a back seat and just kept her hook on the track. Stream the remix below, and the comments to tell me who you think had the best verse!

I took a little sabbatical from blogging late last year to shift my focus a little more from reporting what kind of music was out there to creating. While I plan to continue sharing great music with all my loyal G's out there, look forward to more mixes which I intend to make better with each and every edition.
During my brief break, I put together The Re-Up, which a lot of people seemed to enjoy and pass around.

Check out the rest of the repertoire on Mixcloud and be sure to let your support be known!
