Jump Smokers' "My Flow So Tight (Anti-Breezy)" opens with what has to be the non sequitur of the year: the group's lead MC, Roman, repeats "My flow so tight and the beat so sick" three times, then tacks on "Chris Brown should get his ass kicked." Hooking what's essentially a novelty song to a domestic-abuse incident is a tricky proposition, but I can't help but agree with the sentiment. Apparently I'm not the only one—the track was widely blogged, and its combination of real talk and catchy electro beats helped it get steady spins on Chicago pop and hip-hop stations. "Don't Be a Douchebag" is a clunkier attack on an easier target, but the fact that the band tosses out burns on Ed Hardy boys and at the same time gets props from B96—the radio equivalent of a dude wearing too much hair gel—is amazing. —Miles Raymer
