August Alsina-Benediction (feat. Rick Ross)

It's been a great year for August Alsina. The impressive R&B artist has been getting some good feature work, was one of XXL's Freshmen, and released his major label debut album Testimony. The album has features from Pusha T, Jeezy, B.O.B., Trinidad James, and more. "Benediction" is a great example of the throwback 90's sound that Alsina is bringing back. He also taps Rick Ross for a solid, radio-clean verse.

Rick Ross-Mastermind

Ricky Ross releases his latest album Mastermind, which includes 19 tracks. Even though my favorite part of Mastermind is still this verse by The Weeknd, the album is still pretty good. Even if you're not a fan of Rick Ross you should check it out, he's got some great features like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Big Sean, French Montana, Jeezy, and a lot more.

Best Songs: "In Vein", "Sanctified", "The Devil Is A Lie."
