- Briane by Boyce Avenue
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ezxfiZ8vI
- Grade: ★ (not sure what to give it, but it's good)
- Before anyone goes and downloads this song illegally, you ought to hear what this song is truly about. It was written for a friend of Boyce Avenue's (well, the members) whose wife had just committed suicide, and it is the words they think she wanted to tell him. It's a really deep and emotional song, and I believe that it deserves the respect of buying it off of iTunes to support them and their friend.
- Girlfriend by Thai, IZ, J Reyez, Lil Crazed, and Tommy C
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMo6LeL14vw&feature=channel
- Grade: B+
- I want Lil Crazed's sweater
- One Night Stand by Keri Hilson
- http://newjams.net/music/keri-hilson-one-night-stand
- Grade: B+
- Honestly, not much great stuff was on newjams today. Given I had a headache while searching so it woulda had to be really good to be great
- Up and Down by Chingy
- http://newjams.net/music/chingy-up-and-down
- Grade: B
- Chingy's song Superhero was much better, but this one is decent
- More (RedOne Remix) by Usher
- http://newjams.net/music/usher-more-redone-remix
- Grade: A-
- I've had this one for a while but it came up while I was sifting through newjams for some gems, so figured it's postworthy
- Step Up 3 Remix by a lot of musicians
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce3ZV3DYCHY
- Grade: B+
- It's a filthy scene in the movie, but the guy who tried to duplicate it lacked the skill to have it flow as well as in the movie. If you haven't watched the final scene I suggest youtubeing it, it won't be great quality but it's good
- Forever (Feat. Traphik, Dyme-A-Duzin, Dumbfoundead, Prince EA, and D-Pryde) by Ahmir
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX3nT5OUFpA (download link below the video)
- Grade: A
- It's an old song I've had for a while, but I gotta put it up. Same with their version of Airplanes eventually. Ahmir is great, then these unsigned fairly unknown youtube rappers do really well although some people may take offense of D-Pryde's lyrics...
- Only Girl (Feat. Shad) by Mike Tompkins
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtBeobpTcmk
- Grade: C+
- It's good, but it's not nearly as good as Ahmir's version (I'll post that next so you can compare for yourself). What the guy does is very impressive though, and it is obviously a thousand times better than I could sing it.
- Only Girl (Feat Illumeci) by Ahmir
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKMnNFok2JA
- Grade: A-
- It's a combination of Only Girl and Please Don't stop the music, but they definitely managed to make it flow like one song.Also, the way they change the lyrics to make more sense is sometime I personally enjoy. Sidenote: the girls from Illumeci are definitely pretty

The 17th of December
So apparently I covered newjams pretty well yesterday, so today is gonna be a more chill music day. You'll see what I mean.
- Baby / Let it Snow (feat. J Rice) by Ahmir
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do-VI54F4dk
- Grade: B+
- First 15 seconds of singing is a little iffy, but it gets better
- Will You be There? by Boyce Avenue
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Ilpnhr0kM
- Grade: A
- Bloody Brilliant
- You'z a Ho, Ho, Ho (feat Lil Crazed, J-Reyez, and JR Aquino) by Traphik
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTxHpy1KU7s
- Grade: Funny/Interesting
- Dude's are just having fun during the holidays, but not quite worthy of a grade
- Rocketeer by Ahmir
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbMlNuuOYxA
- Grade: B
- It's pretty old, but its decent. Not their best work (in my opinion, their cover of airplanes is), but noteworthy.
- No Love by Tyler Ward (and family)
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK4h_ixdR5E
- Grade: A-
- They got skillz
- High School Sucks by Traphik
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&v=GWy_uauR-6k&annotation_id=annotation_785603
- Grade: B
- This is pretty old, but it's entertaining and not too many people have heard/seen it
- Sailing by David Sides & Lucas Teague
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVKm1K-Z-Fo
- Grade: B+
- David Sides is one of my favorite pianists, and although I'd never heard of Lucas Teague they sing reallly well as a group. If the piano was a little quieter and/or the singing louder it'd be rated higher
