So I'm exhausted and have a sore throat. Whatever. It's not going to stop me from sharing a few tracks with you. There's not much else exciting going on in rap today, except some Roots Rising Down footage (yawn), a Busta Rhymes mixtape I haven't listened to yet and a list of the Top 40 hip-hop blogs. Surprise, surprise, we ain't on it.

But anyway, you're here for music.

• MJG - Shades off This Might Be The Day. Everything about this is great, bump this in your iPod while taking a stroll this afternoon. Be sure to bring the shades.
• David Banner f. Chris Brown - Get Like Me. David Banner needs to drop an album in short order.
• Curren$y - The Takeover. Yeah, the Hot Spitter is only alright, but this jam is catchy. Off the very mediocre mixtape Higher than 30,000 Feet.
