DaBaby and Stunna 4 Vegas are no strangers to reppin’ their North Carolina home teams off the court, but now – as seen in the new video for their collaboration ‘No Dribble’ – the duo are raising up for the Tar Heel state on the court too.
Having previously duetted on tunes ‘Animal,’ ‘Billion Dollar Baby Freestyle,’ ‘Ashley,’ and more, fans of the emcees know exactly what to expect when the two join forces: shenanigans.
T hat’s just what viewers get in the new Reel Goats-directed clip, which includes scenes of the duo rolling in shopping carts, ghost riding SUVs (with a trunk full of marijuana), and so much more.
Nicki Minaj may have dropped jaws last Monday (July 20) when she announced she was pregnant with her first child (click here to read more), but now it appears she’s ready to deliver something else: new music.
Reuniting with ‘Plain Jane’ co-star A$AP Ferg, the GRAMMY nominee sent fans into a frenzy just moments ago when she confirmed the duo are set to follow that top 30 hit with another banger: ‘Move Ya Hips.’
In July 2015, at a mere 22-years old, Bobbi Kristina – daughter of Pop icon Whitney Houston and R&B veteran Bobby Brown – passed away (as we reported here).
Since then, her GRAMMY-award winning father has worked to keep her memory alive with the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House – a service for women and children in need of domestic violence education and crisis intervention.
On Sunday (July 26), however, he took to Instagram to commemorate the fifth-year anniversary of his daughter’s death.
At the end of May, ‘American Idol’ alum Jordin Sparks teased her return to music by unveiling the standalone single, ‘Unknown’ (click here to listen). Now, it appears she’s ready to launch her first full-on era since 2015’s ‘Right Here Right Now.’
Branding it #JS4 (as representation of her fourth yet-titled album), Sparks took to Instagram Friday (July 24) to announce ‘Red Sangria’ would act as the first song from the LP.
Slated for release on July 31, look inside for the announcement and a snippet of the forthcoming tune.
From The Vault is back this week with a Pop classic from 2008.
Today’s pick comes courtesy of mother-to-be Katy Perry: it’s the smash hit ‘Hot n Cold.’
After zooming up the charts with breakout single ‘I Kissed A Girl’, Katy proved that she was no novelty act with ‘Hot’ — the second single from her second album ‘One Of The Boys.’
Written by Dr Luke, Benny Blanco and Max Martin, the cut was produced by the latter and was another success for Perry. Peaking at #3 in the US, #4 in both the UK and Australia, and reaching the top spot in Canada, it was also nominated at the GRAMMY for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2010.
The song sees the artist confronting an undecided lover about how toxic his behavior is to their relationship.
Alan Ferguson directed the colorful video which presented Ms. Perry as a bride hunting down her love-interest all over town after he fails to say “I do” at the altar.
Katy’s parents make a brief cameo.
As of July 2020, the video is just under 20 million views away from hitting the billion mark.

Keeping it 100, we still can’t pin point the exact reason why Katy stopped ruling the charts the way she was during her first three album cycles.
From ‘Chained To The Rhythm’ to ‘Harleys in Hawaii,’ she has kept on churning out top tier bops, not too far removed from her most successful and acclaimed hits – qualitatively speaking.
Anyhow, here’s hoping Ms. Perry’s next project ‘Smile’ is one filled with yet more of her signature Pop bops, akin to ‘Hot N Cold.’
