This week, three tracks leaked featuring the divine combo of emcee and femme fatale on the hook. With the summer heat slowly inching its way into our lives, here are three songs to throw on the iPod ASAP:

T.I. feat. Keri Hilson: Got Your Back
Tip returns on this keys-heavy track is very Pop forward with Miss Keri Baby lacing the hook as T.I. spits like he never left. Atlanta represented hard on this one.

Estelle feat. Nas: Fall In Love
This is actually Estelle's track, but there's enough Nas to give it a fair shot. Reminiscent of "American Boy" with Kanye West, this breezy track is nothing short of romantic.

Drake feat. Alicia Keys: Fireworks
Another leak off 'Thank Me Late', this track holds Drake rapping in the same cadence as "Successful" with Alicia Keys on the intense hook. Drake keeps them coming; we'll thank him later.

In other news, Dr. Dre's 'Detox' is near completion, Rap-Up reports. However, according to Scott Storch - who worked with Dre on 'Chronic 2001' and 'Detox' - this album will sound nothing like a previous Dre release. What that means remains to be seen, since we have yet to hear anything off the album (especially "Under Pressure" with Jay-Z, which Storch co-produced). "I think people will be pleasantly surprised when they hear it," Storch explained. "It's definitely a departure from a lot of the stuff Dre has done and the stuff Dre and I have done in the past. It's a hybrid."

While 'Detox' keeps seeing more delays than a Lil Wayne prison sentence, at least there are three new tracks this week from other artists to jam to on repeat.
