Usher feat. Nicki Minaj - "Little Freak" (Prod. by Polow Da Don) [usershare mp3 links: stream | download]
Everything I've heard from Usher's Raymond vs. Raymond album has been at least good, mostly great. This track, sampling Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City", is no exception.

Unreleased Michael Jackson music: Jackson 5 - “Buttercup”
From Rap Radar:
"We’re still celebratin’ the King. This is the best tune off his finest posthumous release that I’ve heard thus far. Stevie Wonder wrote the following and how it didn’t end up being on an Michael Jackson album before is beyond me. If you don’t like this one, get the f-ck off my site and don’t you ever come back."
You know me: I co-sign that 1000% - GET AT THIS!!!!
Jackson 5 - “Buttercup” (written by Stevie Wonder) [yousendit mp3 download link]
