25 reviews singles from Sammie, Lupe Fiasco, and Drake.
“Put It On Ya Tab” is the 4th track from Sammie’s new EP, It’s Time and features R&B crooner Trey Songz. The song highlights Sammie’s nightlife experience, in which he buys ‘bad’ females unlimited drinks. Though the storyline is not the most complex, the song has a catchy beat and would be well received at any dance club. The song, much like a portion of the new EP, is more mature than some of his previous work and serves a reflection of his transition into the grown and sexy stage.

Fiasco produces another track to stimulate minds in addition to letting his doubters know that he is now beaming. When he states “And baby girl, what does it matter where your purse from? Your hair done, your nails did, your ass fat, but you’re dumb,” Fiasco is pressing the importance of education. The track being leaked made the rapper upset but he recently posted the link on his website www.lupefiasco.com. This track is only a sample of what the fans can expect of his upcoming album.
