Rocking and rolling into Hip Hop’s party today is Bando Jonez, accompanied by pals T.Pain and B.O.B?

The aim of their game? To unleash their remix to Jonez’ budding hit ‘Sex You’, showing support to the Epic performer with lyrics set to set many a club ablaze tonight!

Well, that escalated quickly!

After hitting #1 on Itunes just hours after its premiere, talented trio Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj have taken their blazing single ‘Bang Bang’ right to Billboard’s upper rankings!

Storming the Hot 100 with reports of the second highest first week sales of the year, the news come as yet another win for Grande who still holds the title for the year’s biggest debut with ‘Problem’ (which clocked over 430k sold its first week of digital availability).

As the diva syndicate’s accompanying visual readies the extension of the song’s onslaught of charts, it may take an act of magic to get the tally’s current reigning champ unseated.  As MAGIC!‘s ‘Rude’ readies another week run atop the Hot 100, will Jessie J and co. have what it take to dethrone the island anthem?  Or, will silent assassin Sam Smith and hit tune ‘Stay With Me’ make its way in for the kill?

Dancer/choreographer Casper Smart is the latest addition to Nicki Minaj‘s creative team this year, called on to join Laurieann Gibson to help bring the rapper’s vision to life with new single ‘Anaconda‘!

In today’s 360 era, artists are tasked with being larger than life and more than music. This a memo Pop force Lady GaGa has chewed and digested.

Indeed, beyond her songs, Mother Monster has built quite the brand portfolio – making a name for herself in the touring, technological, and beauty arenas. The latter is set to get a boost later this year when the star’s newest fragrance arrives.

Announced moments ago (packaged with the Steven Klein shot promo pic above), the scent has been christened ‘Eau De GaGa’ and marks the singer’s first foray into the unisex market.

Speaking on the perfume’s concept, the 28-year-old said:

“It’s inspired by the adventurous woman and the man who loves her.

I wanted it to be a timeless, elegant, luxurious bottle, something that would last forever. This is just EAU DE GAGA no.1

The base consists of sparkling water, lime, leather. 3 things I use everyday. A very clean expensive scent”

GaGa’s first fragrance effort, ‘The Fame’, has sold over 30 million bottles worldwide.

Four years after the first round of their Rap battle, Lil Kim’s feud with rapper Nicki Minaj finds itself reignited by the ‘How Many Licks’ performer this month, coming after she learned of the latter’s duet with Pop icon Beyonce.

Unfortunately for Kim, her attempts to provoke a response from Minaj has come to no avail, with the ‘Anaconda‘ belle’s focus dedicated to pushing her third studio album ‘The Pink Print.’

So, given the current state of Kim’s career and Minaj’s seemingly unstoppable Hip Hop reign, we ask…

Should she respond?

Weigh in below…

And another one.

Lil Kim has awoken for her musical slumber and seems intent on re-claiming her spot as Hip-Hop’s premier Queen Bee.

The quest, however, has largely been a mucky mess, with her various attempts at attacking nemesis Nicki Minaj falling as flat as the interest in her career.

Hoping to reverse the backlash, which has seen her trending on Twitter all week (for all the wrong reasons), the pint-sized femcee has unwrapped a freestyle remix of Bobby Shmurda’s ‘Hot N*gga’.
