G-Unit, "Ahhh S**t"

With the talks surrounding Ferguson, G-Unit wanted to deliver their own aggressive message. Produced by TM88 of 808 Mafia, 50 Cent handles the hook of "Ahhh Sh*t" with a response to the police officer who killed Mike Brown. "Now why the fuck did you call them cops, put your hands up and you still get shot, here they go now they out on patrol, they done killed a few, they finna kill some more." The track also features Young Buck and Kidd Kidd. No word on when G-Unit's mixtape is releasing this year, but you can expect they've been heating up the streets again.

Que Featuring 2 Chainz, “Rich Problems”

Que is back with another single off his upcoming mixtape Can You Digg It? set to drop Aug. 19. After releasing "Standout" with Ty Dolla $ign last week, the rapper has teamed up with another dirty south MC. Check out this collaboration with 2 Chainz on the DJ Mustard produced track.

Your Old Droog, “Sleepers” (Prod. By Larry Fisherman)

The mystery behind the identity of Your Old Droog continues. With the Nas theory reportedly debunked, and small bits of information on who he is slowly starting to materialize, YOD drops another record titled "Sleepers." This one features a organ-driven score from Larry Fisherman a.k.a. Mac Miller.

If not before then, the mystery of the MC's identity should be uncovered on September 3 when Droog is scheduled to make his debut performance at Webster Hall in New York City.

Check out "Sleepers," above.

Ty Dolla $ign, Dom Kennedy And Rick Ross, “Lord Knows”

After announcing that $ign Language will drop next Monday (Aug. 25), Ty Dolla $ign and DJ Carisma unveil the first single off of the upcoming mixtape. "Lord Knows" features the West Coast crooner, Dom K and MMG Head Honcho Rick Ross on the record. Pretty smooth, listen below.

Chris Brown, “X”

Chris Brown could be on the verge of making his best project in years after the lackluster Fortune and F.A.M.E. X's title track, which Brown unveiled today (Aug. 22), is proof of that.

Brown has reunited with Karrueche, but he adopts one of Rihanna's best tricks for the new single: Turning vulnerability into a cathartic call to the dance floor. The singer's determination to not continuously get played by whoever he's talking about turns into a dubstep breakdown, the type that may be making its way to the upper half of the Billboard soon.

is expected to drop on Sept. 16.
