Friday is almost always a slow day for new music and today is no different. We still scraped together a few joints that will get you right for the weekend. Rakim enlists a few New York MCs for a bonus off his latest LP, jj covers Akon, and Robin Thicke links with Ludacris. That’s a solid lineup, right? Hit the jump to start listening…
Even if you don’t watch Gossip Girl every week, there’s no excuse for not having Leighton Meester on your radar. After three seasons as Blair Waldorf, one of the hottest chicks in the game has decided to give the music thing a shot too. On the guilty pleasure tip, her Robin Thicke-assisted single, “Somebody To Love”, is actually pretty dope. Expect it to do well on pop radio. Best part of all: she looks smoking hot in the video for it above. Don’t sleep. This one is a must-watch on the eye candy factor alone.
Tune in to Complex.com every morning at 8 AM for your daily “Wake N’ Watch” video.

There’s a lot of new music worth checking out today. Justin Timberlake and Jamie Foxx work together. Charles Hamilton continues on his comeback path. A new Alicia Keys song, written by Drake, surfaced. Robin Thicke linked up with Kid Cudi too. There’s no way you’re not interested. Hit the jump to kick off the listening session…
Grammy-award winning singer Robin Thicke is an expert at writing sensual music the ladies love. Don’t think that makes him soft though—he’s still your favorite rapper’s favorite R&B crooner. His fourth LP Sex Therapy drops on December 15th, and we think there’s a pretty good chance that keeping it in rotation will help you get laid. Seriously.
Given the theme of the album, we set out to get some sexual confessions from the man who landed the gorgeous Paula Patton, but (always the gentleman) he refused to “kiss and tell.” Instead, we got him to reveal his favorite tunes to get down to and why he thinks Nicki Minaj is a dope date. Check out the quick Q&A and watch the “Sex Therapy” video below…
Robin Thicke may have taken Justin Timberlake’s spot as every rappers’ favorite R&B white boy, but we remember (fondly, it seems) when dude was an unknown, long-haired, soul-singing hippie. Damn, things done changed. Since he dropped his debut album in 2003, he stopped going solely by his pause-worthy last name and he, thankfully, completely cleaned up his look.
Long gone are Robin’s bohemian, bike-messenger threads and unkempt curly locks—today, he’s rocking tailored slacks, shirts, and vests. Last Friday at the Keep A Child Alive Ball in NYC, we spotted Robin stunting in a three-piece suit with his beautiful wife in tow. While we can’t help you land a dime for a wifey, we can help you look the part. Read on to find out how to get Robin Thicke’s look below….
