Each day Complex scours the music blogs for 5 fresh songs that you should listen to in our 5 O'Clock Shuffle post. Instead of going crazy trying to keep up with your RSS feeds everyday, just head over to Complex.com to stay up-to-date on important leaks and releases.

Everyone has different musical tastes, but we're pretty sure we've covered them all with today's Shuffle playlist. Lupe brings the lyricism. Mariah gets a few Southern rappers to help her out. Akon applies his pop formula to a NYC tribute. And there's more to look forward to from a couple lesser known artists. The mix is all over the place, but satisfying nonetheless. Press play after the jump...

• NYC anthems usually have some type of grime factor attached, but not this one. Akon sticks to his pop formula, turns on the Auto-Tune, and sings his heart out for the Big Apple. Weird, but honestly, not that bad either.
