Twista, 'Got Away' - Twista dropped his new video, "Got Away," from his new album, Dark Horse , which was dedicated to "all those who have suffered from addiction, infidelity and abuse." Though the subject matter is heavy, the song is anything but. "This video is supposed to have a lot of meaning and to help sooth one's pain after experiencing any sort of tragedy in their life. Don't let an incident take over!" he said.(Photo: GMG Entertainment LLC)Tracy Chapman, 'Behind the Wall' - This haunting acapella song from Tracy Chapman's incredible 1988 debut talks of "sleepless nights" from hearing the man next door beat his wife.  (Photo: Retna UK /Landov)
