Nas remixes “Help Somebody,” off of Maxwell’s fourth studio album, BLACKsummers’night.

The ever-conscious Nas remixes “Help Somebody,” off of soulful R&B crooner Maxwell’s fourth studio album, BLACKsummers’night. The track mixes guitar riffs, powerful lyrics and Maxwell’s signature falsetto. Nas challenges listeners to address issues of immigration, global poverty and unemployment over a busy horn section, rapping; “I pray to god that new plan unfolds/ I gotta say it and it goes /I started in the projects now look what I accomplished/ to say nobody helped me, is nonsense.” With the prevailing lyrics and captivating band sound, its no surprise that Maxwell’s BLACKsummers’night has garnered six Grammy noms.

New remix to Beyonce’s “Ego” featuring Kanye West, sorry guys it has a few drops. Read more for download.

“Could’ve let the dream killers kill my self esteem,  Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams.”….sound familiar? This isn’t the first time Kanye has recycled his own bars, especially from the “Last Call” track from his debut album College Dropout. Guess in a recession you can’t let any rhyme go unheard.

Looks like Keri is after some pre-album release publicity with her latest remix/diss track of “Turnin Me On” Ft. Lil Wayne & T-Pain. Guess which R&B vixens she’s checkin.

While Keri Hilson may have proven herself to be  a master songwriter her diss records aren’t so straight forward. The remix tells a certain someone to “check the credits, ho” and makes some suspicious references that can be tied to both Beyonce and Ciara such as a an “Irreplaceable” and Atlanta spin-off but we’ll let you be the judge.
