After teasing us with a two-minute preview last month, 50 Cent finally debuts the full version of his eagerly anticipated collaboration with Kendrick Lamar and Kidd Kidd, “We Up.” Lead by a smooth and sedated R&B beat, this track is relatively new territory for 50 and Kendrick, but both deliver. “We Up” will be found on Kidd Kidd’s as-yet-untitled forthcoming mixtape.

The blizzard (seriously, who decided to name it “Nemo”?) may have come and gone, but that isn’t stopping Theophilus London from enjoying the snow. The always-dapper Brooklyn native teams up with rockstar-come-pro snowboarder (not to mention Santigold’s husband) Trouble Andrew today for his new solo track, “Snow Angel.” Appropriately enough, it’s a pretty dark, desolate number which evokes the image of a high-risk, late night snow storm rather than a typically cheery Winter setting; “trip wave” he calls it.

Along with the Paris 96 EP with Jesse Boykins III, Theophilus is currently working on the follow-up to 2011′s Timez Are Weird These Days, which is confirmed to feature Drake, Kanye West and Travi$ Scott.

Last year on Valentine’s Day the combo of Usher and Diplo gave us the smash-hit gift that was “Climax.” A year later, the two return on this special day with their new song “Go Missin.” The pop star returns with his crooning touch on a simplistic bouncy tune by the in-demand producer. Will this one climb the charts like their last collaboration?

Now that the jokes are behind us. The-Dream returns with “Slow It Down,” the new single off his upcoming fourth solo album, Fourplay. The four-time Grammy winner hooks up with frequent collaborator In Brooklyn’s Fabolous on the smooth offering where Radio Killa croons “I know they ain’t going to play this on Top 40 radio.”

The-Dream’s Fourplay LP arrives May 7 via Radio Killa/Def Jam Records.

Probably the last MC you’d expect to stop by with a Valentine’s Day gift, Freddie Gibbs gets his slow jam on with this new track, “Sing For Me.” Don’t mistake this for a cheesy love song, though; Gibbs still keeps it gangsta as he spits about making that “pu**y sing for me” over a smooth, soulful Sean Momberger beat. Consider this grown man V-Day music.

Late last year, Ghostface Killah announced his 10th solo album, Twelve Reasons to Die, to be released Nov. 20. It was never made clear why it was delayed, but that doesn’t matter a whole lot today as The Ironman finally provides an update on his upcoming LP — including its first single.

Twelve Reasons to Die, which is produced entirely by Adrian Younge and executive produced by RZA, will hit stores April 16 through Soul Temple Records, and will come complete with a six-issue comic book series and collected graphic novel. The album’s lead track, “The Rise of Ghostface Killah,” clearly lends to its cinematic theme, as we hear Starks wax super sharp rhymes over a crisp, vintage Wu-Tang beat.

In related news, Ghostface recently confirmed that he and DOOM (formerly MF DOOM) are working on a long-speculated collaborative project. Also, his classic 1996 debut, Ironman, is to be reissued as “Premium Collection: Gold Edition” CD box set by Get On Down later this month. Goodies include a 48-page hard-cover book and puzzle of the original artwork! More info here.

Drake’s infectious “Started From the Bottom” has caught the attention of artists all over. Mike Posner comes with a unique twist for his remix of the Mike Zombie-produced cut. The Detroit-native hit the studio with a live band and rounded up friends Asher Roth, T.Mills, Chuck Inglish, and King Chip for a funky acoustic cover of Drizzy’s new single.

Watch it all come together and listen to the final cut below…..
