Swizz Beatz assists Alicia Keys in welcoming a “New Day” with outgoing drums and upbeat vocals. Keys gave fans a sneak peek of her highly anticipated fifth album after tweeting the link to her the single.

Tweet is gearing up to release her long-awaited third album this year.  She is releasing new music every Tuesday up until the release of the new album.  The first offering from “Tweet Tuesdays,” is the remake of the Aretha Frankiln classic, “Daydreaming.”  Listen to Tweet effortlessly glaze over the track.

Don’t let the pretty face fool you. LoLa Monroe gets ugly with her rhymes on “Dark Red Lipstick,” produced by Rob Holladay. Taylor Gang’s First Lady throws on her six-inch heels and rides out on the mysterious track, which was inspired by TLC’s “No Scrubs.”

Lil’ Kim keeps it one hundred on “Countin’ Money.” The bossy track appears on the I.R.S. South mixtape Tax Season, released via her I.R.S. label. “You know Kim the realest bitch up in the industry/ Matter fact, I’m the realest bitch up in the streets,” proclaims the Queen Bee, who will launch her “Return of the Queen Tour” on May 11.

Just a few days after confirming a Chris Brown duet, Brandy releases the joint track for her fans’ listening pleasure. It’s written and produced by Bangladesh and Sean Garrett , and recorded for her upcoming studio album “Two Eleven”.

While his single “Climax” soars to No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts, Usher unleashes the follow-up “Scream.” The R&B showman ignites the dance floor on the adrenaline-fueled record, which is more akin to his pop hits “OMG” and “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love.”

“If you wanna scream, ‘Yeah!’ Let me know and I’ll take you there,” sings Usher over the galloping beat.

He is also readying another single for urban radio called “Let Me See,” produced by Jim Jonsin and featuring Rick Ross. Both songs will appear on his upcoming album Looking for Myself, due June 12.

Cee Lo Green reunited with his Goodie Mob bandmates on “The Voice” last night to debut the group’s new single “Fight to Win.” Dressed as warriors in metallic gold suits with glowing teeth, the Atlanta collective performed the courageous track, which will be used as the theme song for the NBA. The elusive André 3000 even stopped by the show to watch them perform.

“It’s really a special song and you can tell it’s a continuum of what Goodie Mob stands for,” Cee Lo told Sway on “Sway in the Morning. “It’s definitely African Americana.”

Cee Lo, Khujo, T-Mo, and Big Gipp have recorded 10-15 songs for their upcoming album Age Against the Machine, but a release date has not been set.
