Instead of participating in the publicity circus surrounding his baby mama drama, Nas went back in the studio to record some new heat. It took Maxwell a very long time to find his way back to the recording studio, but our prayers have been heard. What's better then listening to his new album Black Summer's Night on a sunny day with a Mojito? Clipse, The-Dream and Chamillionaire leaked some new tracks, while artists to look out for this summer are Will Roush and one of our favorite newcomers, SA-RA. Enjoy the weekend.

Will Roush - Know My Name Vol. 1 Mixtape (Mixed by Dj Skee & Whoo Kid) - Listen Here
Will Roush's full mixtape is finally here. It's a conceptual mixtape, themed around the idea of Will Roush, who's a new artist, traveling back in time to learn all about hip-hop's incredible history before moving forward with his own burgeoning rap career. The tape is split between him rocking over classic instrumentals which tie into the project's theme, and original music.

Off 'Sic O Nomics Vol 3, dropping June 25th.

Nas ft. Swizz Beatz - "Be Worried" - Listen Here

Really Doe ft. Kanye West - "Plastic" - Listen Here
Doe is a rapper from Chicago and was signed to GOOD Music. His debut album First Impressions is set to be released August 18th.

Nate Dogg - "Gangsta Walk" (Prod. by Damizza) - Listen Here
Here's an unreleased Nate Dogg track, produced by Damizza, whose new album Ree-Mixed, Ree-Mastered, & Un-Ree-Leased is dropping July 27th on Baby Ree Records. This song will not be on the album, but it's a taste of what to expect as it's been re-mixed and mastered.

Joy Jones - "Be My Husband" (Nina Simone Cover) - Listen Here
Joy Jones is the master of Afro-beat lullabies, future jazz/soul, protest songs and electronic hymns. Expect all this and more on Godchild, with Daz-I-Kue of Bugz In The Attic co-producing much of the album, lending his brand of soulful broken beat. It's only natural that Joy should cover a Nina Simone composition; the influence on Joy's sound is evident. Joy has struck a perfect balance on "Be My Husband," honoring the sparse, powerful original and simultaneously adding her own smooth touch.

Brown Bag All-Stars - "Got It All" - Listen Here
Those of you who attended the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival are familiar this song. BK stand up!

The release date has not been set but will be sometime in the summer.

The-Dream - "Hit It On The Road" - Listen Here
Taken from the re-release of Love Vs Money; The Hangover Edition. He can write monster hits for others, but when oh when is he going to write one for his own album?

Clipse ft. Pharell - "I'm Good" - Listen Here
A good song by good artists with a good taste in fashion.
