We featured the lovely Ms.Jean earlier this week and loved her sound. But as soon as we found out that she was going to be taking over Lupe Fiasco’s Twitter page after his departure from the social networking site, we decided to introduce you to more songs from the lovely songbird.

Sex, Lies and Sunshine
A beautiful track from Nikki’s latest album, Pennies In A Jar

My Love
A Motown inspired joint from her newest album

Exit Sign
An older gem from DJ Deckstream’s album “Soundtrack 2″

Little Weapon feat. Bishop Jean
Featured on Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool

Hip Hop Saved My Life
Another favorite from The Cool

What do you think of Nikki Jean? You think she deserved the Lupe cosign?

Nikki Jean – Million Star Hotel feat. Black Thought & Lupe Fiasco
When we first heard Nikki, we thought she was another one of those foreigners who’s more than capable of running tings in the R&B world here in the States. But this one here is a homegrown talent. This is a leak from her new album “Pennies In A Jar” which you can buy here

Ace Hood – Body 2 Body feat – Chris Brown
Someone in an office somewhere felt like the ladies needed an introduction to the softer side of Ace Hood. We would beg to differ. We think the ladies were just fine with “Hustle Hard.” Nonetheless, here you go ladies.

Gilbere Forte & Sean Rose – Dreaming Out Loud
These two have a mixtape out together that we didn’t quite enjoy as much as we though we would have. But THIS SONG RIGHT HERE? It’s on a couple of playlists and likely to be on repeat in someone’s car tonight as they leave the office.

Theophilus London – I Stand Alone
Trinidad-born, Brooklyn-bred Theophilus L has been making waves in the music world over the last year or two. His debut album “Timez Are Weird These Days” comes out next Tuesday. And this is the first single. Click here for more about Theophilus London.

Cyhi Da Prynce – Zone One (“I’m On One” Remix)
As the Summer of the Remix rolls on, Cyhi saw it fit to give DJ Khaled’s YMCMBMMG-assisted hit an Atlanta make over. And we’re not mad.

And now, for your bonus: Cyhi Da Prynce & Pusha T performed at the Heineken Red Star Access Event in Atlanta on Friday. Tahiry was the host.

There’s more where that came from on the flip.
