[NEW MUSIC] Jay Z x Jay Electronica - "We Made It"

I can't believe this. Jay Electronica has released more music this month than the last two years combined. Hov joins his veteran Roc Nation signee to attack the Soulja Boy x Drake remix, and as you might expect, it's murder. Hit the jump for  this Sunday blessing.

[VIDEO] 2013 Hip-hop, R&B Lists

 Breaking down our 2013 hip-hop and R&B year-end lists.

[NEW MUSIC] Rick Ross feat. Jay Z - "The Devil Is a Lie"

Ross promised us this collaboration on his continually delayed Mastermind album, which was pushed back from the anticipatory December release date to sometime next year. Another patented feature from Hov over a riffing soul sample, horns, drum rolls, and running, rhythmic hi-hats. Hit the jump for the latest from Rozay.

NEW MUSIC- Timbaland feat. Jay Z & Drake- "Know About Me"

Timbo previewed this song a few weeks ago at a show and now he has finally dropped the song in its entirety. This formula is what dreams are made of. Enjoy

Kanye West feat. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz - "Power" (Remix) #tbt

Throwback Thursday: Do you remember when this dropped three years ago? It was the late summer of 2010 following the masterpiece that was My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Ye brought in Hov and Swizz for a monstrous remix that had me frantic with the Snap! sample and break down in the last two minutes. "What do it mean to be the boss? It means second place is the first one who lost, the crucifixion..." -- when Kanye was snapping.
