Raphael Saadiq's new tune "Only Knew" sets the mood for the most tender scene in The Sitter, a new movie by David Gordon Green starring Jonah Hill. "It's the moment of the film where laughter ceases and tears fall," Saadiq says of the slow dance-ready duet. "The strumming of the guitar and the melancholy chords will give couples a reason to sit just a little closer together."

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
