Mary J. Blige drops new song 'Suitcase,' the first single off her upcoming album 'Think Like A Man Too,' which also serves as the official soundtrack to the movie as
well. The track, produced by Mark Fiest, serves as a thumping R&B jam with sparse hand claps and oriental style piano riffs.

On her new album, Mariah Carey has a song called 'Dedicated,' featuring Nas.
