The Easter holidays are over and we're back to normal with a list of new tracks. Get your digital groove on with songs from Raekwon, U-N-I, Keyshia Cole, Young Buck, Bey & Yeezy and D-Block. D-Block? Yes sir! Jada, Sheek and Styles are R-E-U-N-I-T-E-D, and it feels so good!

Raekwon ft. Busta Rhymes - "Death Wish" - Listen Here
We have no idea what The Chef Raekwon is cooking for his near-mythical Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, but he would be crazy if he wouldn't use this underground banger as an ingredient.

Memphis Bleek - "I'm For My Family" - Listen Here
He has been away for a minute, but he's back on his grind with a new song, produced by Young Guru. Peace to the ROC.

The Burnerz (Zumbi of Zion I & The ACE) - "Cops Hate Kidz" - Listen Here
MC Zumbi deliver a song dissecting the tension between the police and the public, highlighted by several recent events in Zumbi's hometown of Oakland.

Young Buck - "Can't Catch Me" - Listen Here
Taken from the Back To The Streets mixtape. Buck, drop the auto-tune. Enough said.

U-N-I - "Lauren London" - Listen Here
One of the highlights on U-N-I's debut album, A Love Supreme, which the talented duo out of Inglewood recently released as a free download.

Black Milk - "Mo' Power" - Listen Here
A jazz-influenced, web exclusive track from Detroit rapper/producer Black Milk.

Stat Quo - "Kool Out" (Prod. by Kevin Rachwel) - Listen Here
New track from Shady Records' signee Stat Quo, taken from his new mixtape The Invisible Man.

Keyshia Cole ft. Monica - "Trust" - Listen Here
A nice slow jam about the most important ingredient in a relationship, taken from Keyshia's latest album A Different Me.

Rick Ross ft. Kid Cudi - "Sky Might Fall (Remix)" - Listen Here
Although Kid Cudi wanted this leaked track to be removed from the Internet, Rick Ross couldn't help to throw in a remix.

D-Block ft. S.I. - "Get That Paper" - Listen Here
In a recent interview, Jadakiss promised us D-Block would get back together and he kept his word.

Hussein Fatal - "Letter To Pac" - Listen Here
Better late than never. Here's Hussein Fatal's letter to one of his closest friends - and one of the best rappers of all time.

Chester French ft. Bun B., Talib Kweli & Mickey Factz - "I'm So Tall" - Listen Here
Another great track from the Chester French x Clinton Sparks mixtape, Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance.

DJ Honda & Problemz - "Give It Up" - Listen Here
A killa from their collaborative LP All Killa No Filla.

Beyoncé ft. Kanye West - "Ego" (Prod. by Elvis Williams) - Listen Here
Your girl Bey provides a nice verse, while Jeezy does what he does best over a laid-back piano beat. Kanye recylces some lines from The College Dropout closing song "Last Call"; "Now I can let these dream killers kill my self esteem or use my arrogance as a steam to power my dreams". Amen.

Serius Jones - "Help (I've Been Robbed)" (Prod. by Needlz) - Listen Here
Serius gets serious about rappers and their gold, reportedly from his album Life Is Serius.

Alchemist ft. Maxwell & Twista - "Smile" -  Listen Here
A promising track from Alchemist's upcoming album Chemical Warface, featuring Twista and übersexy soul crooner Maxwell, whose Black Summer Nights is in our top list of most anticipated albums of 2009.

Thadd Williams - "Speak" - Listen Here
New track by this upcoming rapper from Columbia, South Carolina, who isn't afraid to speak his mind about hip hop; "The crictism, the lack of lyricism, got the whole new school of rap appearing different."

Rick Ross ft. The Game, Ja Rule & Fat Joe - "Mafia Music (Remix)" - Listen Here
We get sick of the squabbling between Rick Ross and 50, but we have to admit this is a solid shot at the G-Unit camp. Nice appearances from The Game and Fat Joe, and even Ja Rule comes out of hiding.

Busta Rhymes ft. Lil Wayne & Jadakiss - "Conglomerate"  - Listen Here
The release date for Busta's new album keeps on changing due to his legal matters. But we're patiently waiting, as long as he continues to leak tracks like this on a weekly basis.

Damizza ft. Butch Cassidy & Young De - "Let's Ride" - Listen Here
New music from Damizza featuring legendary hook man Butch Cassidy and up-and-comer Young De, produced by Mel-Man of Chronic 2001 fame.
