T.I. ft. André 3000 & Stacy Barthe - "Sorry"

With Trouble Man only a few weeks away, it's safe to say that T.I.P. finally has momentum shifted in his favor, with "Ball" doing numbers on the radio as well as the motivational "Go Get It."

Yesterday, he revealed the track the hip hop heads have been waiting for: "Sorry" featuring Andre 3000. T.I. drops some nice sixteens over the Jazze Pha production laced with Stacy Barthe's vocals, but it's no surprise who took the spotlight on this one. Hear 3 Stacks' apology to Big Boi below, and be sure to cop Trouble Man when it drops December 16th.

Quent Young - "Laid Back EP"

Since G.U.E. is officially back and ready to takeover the world once again, what better way to start off than with a site favorite?

In conjunction with The Port and Sophisticated Genius, NC's own Quent Young presents his latest EP titled Laid Back.

I believe that with this mixtape I stayed true to my "Laid Back" demeanor, with a soulful mix of samples and introspective lyrics I combine real life situations both good and bad with stories that everyone can relate too. I feel that with the EP I made music that is very cohesive yet not repetitive, as each track has its own feel and emotions to it. The EP is set up so that it starts with more of a light hearted feel but the further you get into the tape the more personal the music becomes and eventually brightens back up towards the end. This is done intentionally so that the listener can feel as though their growing with me thoughout the EP.

Hourglass Faves: "In Love With You," "Intro," "Done Changed," "City Lights," "She Say I"

Drake ft. Colin Munroe & Dawn Richard - Where Were You

If this song sounds familiar to you, take a listen to the closing track on Colin Munroe's mixtape Unsung Hero and you'll realize why. Recorded in 2010 as a potential track for Drake's debut album Thank Me Later, the previously unreleased collaboration surfaced over the weekend, which also features a verse from the beautiful Dawn Richard. I think this should've made the cut. Do you?

J. Cole - I'm A Fool

J. Cole gave us a first listen of "I'm A Fool" at Rock The Bells, and he utilized a creative release strategy by allowing a fan to premiere the track on Twitter. Cole's been on a tear lately, murdering guest features for Big Sean, Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled, and I'm so glad to have some new solo J. Cole to ride to.
