5 Hottest Records Out Right Now

For some reason in music the year always ends strong with lots of releases coming out in time for Christmas. The first quarter always tends to kinda suck. That's pretty much been the case this year as there have not been any significantly hot joints. Recently, that appears to have changed. Check out the 5 hottest records out right now and thank me later.


1. Rick Ross featuring Jay-z - Maybach Music

Whoa. THIS IS THE HOTTEST RECORD OUT RIGHT NOW.
Rick Ross came with it on this track. The beat is incredible and Rick Ross rides it nice. Jay is, of course, on point. Nothing too showy but it fits the beat perfectly.



2. Erykah Badu

Not a huge Badu fan normally but these two joints are just on point. First, the throwback track (produced by 9th Wonder) and video are just bananas. (If you stick out the whole video you get a nice treat at the end.)

Honey



Then she kinda swagger-jacks "We are Siamese if you please" but it somehow works.

The Healer



3. Jay-z featuring Mary J Blige - You're All Welcome

"The Barack Obama of rhymers" You gotta love it. Mary sounds very reminiscent of "Can't Knock the Hustle." even down to the ad libs. I could do without Swizzy all over the track but what are you gonna do?



4. Britney Spears - Break the Ice (Instrumental)

Ok, the song is not hot but I've been banging this beat since I first heard it a few months ago. Now they've finally released a video for it. Beat comes courtesy of Timbaland's right hand man, DanjaHandz. Take a listen and peep the flip at about 2:00.



5. Donnie (from MTV's Making the Band 4) - Dr. Love (Instrumental)

Another hot beat. You need only watch Donnie in the studio with Seven to see how this song comes out. As of now, it hasn't been released. Maybe Puff's waiting for this to be the spring/early summer anthem.
