It’s that time of the week again. Do remember, that if the song dropped anytime since last Friday (1/16) it’s eligible for the list. Now we aren’t saying these are the BEST songs of the week, but they are the staff’s faves and joints you can catch us bumping in the office.
Video: Eminem f/ Big Sean, Trick Trick, Royce Da 5’9″, Danny Brown & DeJ Loaf – Detroit vs. Everybody
This is too crazy. Em really got the whole Detroit together not only for this track, but now for the riveting black and white clip. The true grittiness of the D is beautifully showcased here. Shouts to our people up north for showing unity on a track like this. Inspiring stuff.

Spenzo – Feelings
In your feelings? Well, you’re just going to have to come out of them because Spenzo doesn’t really care — his focus is on the dinero. You don’t have to take my word for it, though. Just hit the jump and listen to Spenzo’s latest drop, “Feelings.” If you’re keeping count at home, this joint…
Boldy James – In My Zone
Boldy’s Trappers Alley 2 is on the way. And in the meantime, in between time, he’s giving us this new one titled “In My Zone.” He does zone out on this joint. No argument there. Shouts to NR for the heads up.
