TAPE DECK SHUFFLE

The playlist of our favourite songs this week. 'Side A' features some latest cuts, while the classics make the 'B Side'.

SIDE A

TYRESE Feat LUDACRIS-TOO EASY: An 'Open Invitation' to his new album. Tyrese and his 'Fast Five' co-star furiously fuel a track that really does seem effortlessly excellent.

KANYE WEST & JAY-Z Feat BEYONCE-LIFT OFF: Yet another classic that ensured 'Watch The Throne' would be the album to take off and take over.

LIL' WAYNE-SHE WILL: 'The Carter IV' is about to drop and it's tracks like this that ensure it's going to be hot.

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS-MONARCHY OF ROSES: Next week can't come soon enough last weeks 24 hour stream of 'I'm With You' wasn't enough. We need this album now.

LENNY KRAVITY-BLACK & WHITE AMERICA: The funky title track off the funky latest from old glory's best rock/soul man.

SIDE B

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS-AEROPLANE: The last time these guys were Frusciante-less they flew with Jane's Addiction's Dave Naverro and this.

THE GAME Feat COMMON-ANGEL: This year marks the return of these two rappers but it's unheralded classics like this that prove they never left.

LL COOL J-MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT: Don't call it a comeback, he's been here for years.

R. KELLY-JUST LIKE THAT: Now we're not talking about the same-named classic off his latest album, but still just like that and just like this, this 'Twelve Play 2' joint has been on replay all week.

WHITNEY HOUSTON-MY LOVE: Say what you want, not much tops this dedication. TIM DAVID HARVEY.
