Jay-Z’s Singing Voice About As Bad As You’d Expect

1. Raphael Saadiq feat. Jay-Z, “Oh Girl (Remix)�
Jay-Z sings! Sort of! [You, Me and Everyone]

2. Basement Jaxx feat. Devonte Hynes, “My Turn�
Lately it seems like it’s always Hynes’s turn (as Lightspeed Champion, he’s performed with just about everyone), but we’ll allow it since this is a great song. [JP’s Blog]

3. Madlib feat. Guilty Simpson, “Go!�
On this tense teaser from Madlib’s new record, Simpson rattles off a quick list of felonies before saying, “I pray to God my lifestyle escapes hell.� Perhaps he should’ve picked a less incriminating moniker. [Jump the Turnstyle]

4. Ladyhawke, “My Delirium�
On this track off her upcoming debut, Ladyhawke says “I’m outta my head and outta my self-control,� which is pretty much how we feel about this track. [Ohh! Crapp]

5. Bloc Party, “Talons�
If you didn’t like the songs on the digital release, then this catchy track — streaming on their Website and to be released as a bonus on the physical edition of the record — might have your number. [8/1]
