Omarion – Morning (Feat. J. Cole)

MTV Studios, Times Square

The ex-B2K crooner grabs Cole for this smooth burner. Sure, Omarion sounds like Drake here (especially in the verses) but the song is good enough to still stand on its own (Aubrey Graham aping or not). Cole on point as usual.

Kid Cudi – The End (Feat. GLC, Chip Tha Ripper, Nicole Wray)

rager

Here goes our new fav track off Cudder’s Mr. Rager stinkbomb. Mr. Mescudi trades verses with GLC (This beat fits his flow like glove. Think “Drive Slow”.) and fellow 216’er and world’s coolest human Chip Tha Rip. Nicole Wray (BlakRoc) adds a sultry vocal hook. Smooth.
