Every week there’s a ton of great music unleashed onto the internet, especially in the hip hop genre. We’ve gone through a vast chunk of them and here are the tracks that we think are worth checking out.

Wale followed up the release of Lotus Flower Bomb Feat. Miguel this week with Tats On My Arm, which features Rick Ross. I haven’t been a huge fan of anything Wale has released since signing with MMG and though I liked Lotus Flower Bomb, I can’t stand this one. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Canadian MC K-os teams up with Drake to release Faith Pt. 2 produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E League. Faith was originally release on The Anchorman Mixtape in 2010. I was a big fan of the original song and this one is even better. Check it out below.

Another Toronto native, The Weekend, gave us Initiation this week. It is rumoured that this track will be on his 3rd mixtape of the year Echoes Of Silence, although nothing is confirmed yet.

After releasing his massive mixtape The Cookout, Chevy Woods gives up Taylors in Paris, taking over N*ggas In Paris.

50 Cent also gave us 50’s My Favorite. It’s an alright track but nothing special. It was released to promote his new energy drink Street King but it sounds like he’s just promoting himself, like every other song he’s released recently.

Finally, DJ Drama released Undercover which is off of his new album Third Power. It features J. Cole, who is hot off his debut album release and Chris Brown.

That does it for this week but we’ll be back next week with more music for you! Let us know what you thought of this week’s song choices in the comments.
