We're kicking off the week with new music from Game, Alicia Keys, Mase, Sheek Louch, 8Ball & MJG and more. Both Game and Alicia Keys will make a bid for that number one spot in the Billboard charts with their new albums, which will be released somewhere next month. And we're wondering what the denomination prefers; church singing or a reasonable mixtape by priest Mase?
With 2010 in sight, we're putting together an exclusive Year-End In Rotation post for the passionate downloaders and music fans out there. Submissons can be send to our assistant editor Anne van de Sande, anne@ballerstatus.com.

A 6-cut EP from the Grand Hustle camp.
Flow Official - "Whut Up Kid" - Listen Here
Flow Official, comprised of Omniscient and Emo, is not a new name in the Miami hip-hop scene. They first debuted 2001 with a classic EP entitled Thatz How We Build which received steady play on WRGP and WVUM in Miami. They have released several projects since then, but their latest release, Architects is beginning to stir a new buzz. Here is the first single "Wut Up Kid", a head nodding track with an ever classic Raekwon sample in the hook.

Alicia Keys - "Dreaming" - Listen Here
Come on Miss Keys, is about time for The Element Of Freedom to hit stores. We can't wait any longer.
Fly Gypsy ft. Tattiana Aqeel-de Olive - "You" - Listen Here
Fly Gypsy's track record for quality music over the past few months hasn't failed to impress and their newest release, "You", featuring Tattiana Aqeel-de Oliveira, is as strong as ever. The track, the second single off their forthcoming Change For A Dollar EP is a departure from the upbeat sound that encapsulated the duo's first single, "2 Step," with producer Alexei Jendayi laying a more mellow instrumental for Kowboy Kom's vivid imagery.
Add-2 - "Cassette Tapes" - Listen Here
Add-2 links up with Miami producer Mydus for the nostalgic song "Cassette Tapes". Add-2 has just wrapped up shooting the video for "Luxury" (directed by Da Visionaryz) and be on the look out for the release of the video "Starter Jacket" (directed by Precise Minds) this week.
God-Des & She - "Radio Up" - Listen Here
God-Des & She are like strict parents. Or coaches. They only hurt your feelings because they love you. On their new single "Radio Up" they take the radio down a peg, but only because they care about it so much. Over a grinding beat provided by Baltimore's Reina Williams, emcee God-Des spits fire about the downfall of the radio and the record industry as we once knew it.
8Ball & MJG - "Ten Toes Down" - Listen Here
Hands down for these legends from the dirty South.
Game ft. Slyhook - "American Dream" - Listen Here
We're curious to hear Game's view on living the American dream. Diddy and Keyshia Cole are supposed to be on the final version.
Mase - I Do The Impossible (Mixtape) - Listen Here
He did the impossible by becoming a priest, but now Mase is back with a new mixtape.
Ne-Yo - "Gone" - Listen Here
With numerous awards, lyrics and productions, this year has definitely been the year of the Genteleman. We expect many more will follow. In the meantime, enjoy a new leak by Ne-Yo.
