Stacy Barthe ft. Rick Ross - "Hell Yeah"

If "Hell Yeah" is any indication, P.S. I Love You will be an EP of equally epic proportions as Stacy Barthe's album quality projects Sincerely Yours and In The InBetween. 

With strong lyrics balanced out by a smooth track from K. Roosevelt, the guest verse from Rick Ross on "Hell Yeah," puts the cherry on top to this P.S. I Love You standout. The EP will be upon us on Valentine's Day.

Bridget Kelly ft. Meek Mill - "In The Morning" (Remix)

I had the pleasure of meeting Roc Nation talent Bridget Kelly last week, and was pleased to hear that "In The Morning" would be one of the few tracks from her Every Girl EP to make it on to her debut album. The Ne-Yo penned track is something all of us drunk dialers can relate to, and to take the single to the next level, Bridget recruited Roc companion Meek Mill for the remix.

Stream the remix to "In The Morning" below, and make sure you request her single "Special Delivery" at your local radio stations. Her new album is CRAZY.

PJ Morton ft. Stevie Wonder - "Only One"

No other name in R&B holds more weight than that of Mr. Stevie Wonder. So when you see him not only supporting but collaborating with a fresh talent like PJ Morton, you should definitely stop what you're doing and take notice.

The Maroon 5 keyboardist and YMCMB signed vocalist delivers his new single "Only One," the lead single from his forthcoming his debut solo album New Orleans. Stream the track courtesy of Billboard below, and hit the jump to stream + download his latest EP Following My First Mind.

[Music Video] Marsha Ambrosius - "Cold War"

Co-starring The Wire's Michael Kenneth Williams and Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, Marsha Ambrosius opts for drug dealing instead of selling some of the prized possessions in her New York loft on eBay as she fights to maintain her lifestyle after her beau gets fired. "Cold War", produced by Diplo and co-written by Elijah Blake, is the lead single from Marsha's upcoming sophomore solo effort Friends & Lovers.

[Lyric Video] Justin Timberlake - "Suit & Tie"

If this is just the lyric video, I can't wait to see how Justin Timberlake goes all out for the official music video for "Suit & Tie." To get people prepared for the amount of GQ fly that they are soon to see from Mr. 20/20 Experience, he gets prepped for a very grown and sexy night on the town while clearly revealing the lyrics to his new hit single.

His third solo album The 20/20 Experience is currently slated for a March 19th release.

Kelly Rowland - "Kisses Down Low"

If you thought "Motivation" and "Ice" were racy, you've got another thing coming. With the help of writers Planet VI and producer Mike WiLL Made It, Kelly Rowland takes it to another level (a lower level) with "Kisses Down Low." With a hook that seems inspired by T.I.'s "Top Back," this definitely seems like a guaranteed radio and club smash.

Kalenna - "Lately" (Prod. by T-Minus)

Kalenna's been pretty heavy on her studio grind, and she's finally let one of the tracks out of the bag. On "Lonely," she may have a certain someone realizing they walked away from a pretty good thing as she continues to stunt on these hoes.

Stream the T-Minus produced track below, and hit the comments with your thoughts on "Lonely" by the Dirty Money diva.

[Music Video] Tamar Braxton - "Love & War"

Tamar Braxton may ruffle a few feathers with her over the top sayings and tendency to tweet before  she thinks, but one thing's been proven-- she has a great voice and she's capitalizing in all the right ways on the success that reality TV has brought her. "Love & War" sat comfortably at #1 on iTunes when it premiered, and she continues to ride with the title track as she debuted the music video earlier last week.

If you've yet to hear the Tamar's love ballad, catch the visuals below or hit the jump to watch her performance of "Love & War" on The Wendy Williams Show. Love & War is set to hit stores this March.

[Music Video] Dawn Richard - "86"

Dawn Richard's debut solo album Goldenheart has hit iTunes today, and it's doing extremely well so far. Currently dominating the R&B/Soul charts, the indie star is looking to hit #1 overall.

[Music Video] Lolah Brown ft. BJ The Chicago Kid - "History"

Lolah Brown and BJ The Chicago Kid might have you going through that forbidden section of your contacts after watching this one.

The Cleveland songstress, who has sung background vocals for John Legend, Rihanna, and Nicki Minaj, won me over with her track "History" produced by Mnkywrench of Fly.Union. Take a glance at the visuals to below, and hit the jump to download Lolah Brown's latest effort Black Lily.

Justin Timberlake ft. Jay-Z - "Suit & Tie" (Prod. by Timbaland)

It's been waaaay to long, but it looks like Justin Timberlake is ready to reclaim his position. With a new album The 20/20 Experience in the works, he premieres the project's lead single "Suit & Tie" produced by none other than Timbaland The Y's.

The two tiered track has all the makings of a hit single, and there's a nice verse from Jay-Z at the end to put the cherry on top of it all. Stream "Suit & Tie" below, and cop the single on iTunes if you're all for JT's comeback.

Cocaine 80's - The Flower Of Life [FreEP]

I was up at 5:41 celebrating Delta's Centeniall (OO-OOP) and to make things better, I see a tweet from James Fauntleroy with the zip for Cocaine 80's The Flower Of Life. What more can you ask for on 1.13.13?

Download the project below which features "Fly Ass Pisces" and six other tracks by No I.D., Fauntleroy, Jhene Aiko, Common and more.

Cocaine 80's ft. Jhene Aiko & Common - "Fly Ass Pisces"

Cocaine 80s is always lowkey with their releases, so I'm excited I caught this track on Twitter. Now that Jhené Aiko is down with the Artium clique, she, No I.D., James Fauntleroy and co. have been making beautiful music together. Add extended family Common to the equation and you get  "Fly Ass Pisces." Keep this one on repeat until Cocaine 80s drops its fourth project, Flower Of Life EP.

Frank Ocean ft. Big Boi & Andre 3000 - "Pink Matter" (Remix)

I remember Big Boi saying that he wanted to appear along with Andre 3000 on Frank Ocean's "Pink Matter," but of course legal mumbo jumbo wouldn't allow it.  Instead, we get an unofficial Outkast reunion as Sir Lucious adds a verse to the Channel Orange favorite.

Luke James - "Make Love To Me" + 'Whispers In The Dark' [Free Album]

Whenever I hear someone saying that R&B has taken a turn for the worst, I counter by introducing that person to a handful of artists including Luke James who are gladly and effortlessly bearing the responsibilities of progressing the genre with high levels of originality and skill.

The New Orleans bred singer is nominated for a Grammy for his vocal performance on breakthrough single "I Want You" and attempts to create even more magic with his single "Make Love To Me" written by Ne-Yo.

Buy: Luke James - "Make Love To Me" (iTunes)

I definitely encourage you to check out the video for "Make Love To Me" after the jump which features a lot of great cameos, but first, do yourself a favor and download his most recent FREE project, Whispers In The Dark.

Akon ft. Wiz Khalifa - "Dirty Work"

Akon's album Stadium has been in the works since 2010, but it appears the Konvict is finally making moves to release that bad boy. Listen to "Dirty Work," his new single with Wiz Khalifa and tell me if you think Akon has a hit on his hands. I say yes.

There are few Christmas records that are smooth enough to play all year round, and Jhené Aiko and James Fauntleroy's duet "Wrap Me Up" may be one of them. Spend this Christmas Eve with someone special and curl up to this Artium yuletide carol.
