Reflection Eternal – In This World.

Hi-Tek’s slow and deliberate beat keeps Kweli from sounding too preachy on “In This World.” Judging by the impressive and vastly different production on “Just Begun,” “Back Again” and now “In This World,” I think Revolutions Per Minute might be the capstone of Hi-Tek’s career.

Aleon Craft – The Way You Do The Things You Do (produced by SMKA).

Aleon Craft and SMKA collaborated on this whisper-y Atlanta-flavored remake of the OG Temptations hit “The Way You Do The Things You Do.” The Prologue Pt. 1 comes out March 15. Ain’t shit changed since ’64.

Raheem DeVaughn – The Greatness (ft. Wale).

I dug Raheem DeVaughn’s songs with Ghostface and I was actually really excited when I heard they might be doing an album together, but I’ve never seen DeVaughn as a viable solo artist. “The Greatness” may have just changed my mind. This is what a “song for the ladies” should sound like. Mature and funky. Check his mixtape from January.

Update: video here.
