Dashius Clay – You’re All I Need (Produced By Justincredible)

Take it smooth with a dim-the-lights slow jam that runs the gamut of cool. This collaboration from Dashius Clay and producer Justincredible seamlessly meshes slick R & B style and catchy hip hop flow with lyrics that would make Usher proud. Shit is cash. By Erin Feathers

Nas – Cherry Wine (Feat. Amy Winehouse) (Prod. Salaam Remi)

One of the most anticipated tracks on Nas’ so-far-so-good upcoming LP Life Is Good, the Salaam-Remi produced “Cherry Wine” just got its proper debut on Tim Westwood’s Radio 1 show. Obviously, the late Ms. Winehouse’s presence on this track makes for a must listen sort of curiosity. “Cherry Wine” is nice though, cooking down Salaam’s silky smooth production touch to speak vitality into rap journeyman Nas’ inspired (for latter day Nas) rhymes. Amy & Mr. Jones.
