Los Angeles-based DJs Cheat Codes had been West Coast staples long before breaking into Billboard in 2017 with their first Platinum-certified top 40 hit, ‘No Promises’ (featuring Demi Lovato).

And while the trio has yet to match or surpass the success of ‘Promises,’ buzz around their latter work has been promising – especially their newest effort with Urban Pop sensation Tinashe.  The ‘All Hands on Deck’ diva lends a helping hand on their single, ‘Lean on Me’ (just announced earlier this week).

“Baby, when you’re falling / You can lean on me / When you don’t feel strong / Whеn you don’t believe / Baby, lеt me love you / I won’t ever leave / Promise when you’re falling,” she sings on the new track.

P!nk has quite the busy Spring ahead.

Ahead of accepting the Billboard Music Awards’ ICON Lifetime Achievement award at this year’s May 23-aired ceremony (as we reported here), the GRAMMY winner will be on a promo blitz in support of her original film/documentary, ‘P!NK: All I Know So Far.’

Set to premiere May 21, the Amazon Prime Video original special will follow the ins, outs, and behind the scenes action of the diva’s 2019 ‘Beautiful Trauma’ global trek (which ended its run as the second-highest grossing female-led tour of all time).  When not blazing the stages of the world, fans will get to see how the songstress (born Alecia Moore) balanced the demands of superstardom with motherhood and marriage.

To ramp up excitement for the Michael Gracey-directed affair, the songstress unveiled a new song named after the venture.

“…when the storm’s out / You’ll run in the rain / Put your sword down / Dive right into the pain / Stay unfiltered and loud / You’ll be proud of that skin full of scars / That’s all I know so far,” the 41-year-old sings on the uplifting track.

Thanks to tunes found aboard her forthcoming debut album, ‘Pretty B*tch Music,’ rapper Saweetie has tapped in to the Billboard Hot 100 with her two highest charting singles to date – ‘Tap In’ and ‘Best Friend’ (featuring Doja Cat).

Aiming to race past those successes, the 27-year-old took to social media this week to announce the LP’s newest single, ‘Fast (Motion).’

“Iciest b*tch in the whole damn land / I hit the road in an all-white Lam’ / I keep a fresh set up on my hands / You don’t like me, but you on my ‘Gram / How you look? (How you look?), how you sound, ho / I’m a boss, I’m a brat, hard to handle,” she spits on the Monarch-produced cut.

From the track field to the soccer field, look inside to watch Saweetie show off her athleticism in the tune’s high octane accompanying Gatorade commercial music video.

J. Cole sent fans into a frenzy earlier this week with the surprise announcement his long-awaited sixth studio album, ‘The Off-Season,’ would be dropping May 14 (as we reported here).

Though the entire LP was originally set to drop all at once, Cole had a change of heart and decided to whet appetites for ‘Season’s offerings by releasing a single ahead of the project’s arrival next Friday – ‘I n t e r l u d e.’

“Christ went to heaven, age 33 / So did Pimp C and so did Nipsey,” rapped Cole on the new track before continuing, “I done seen the highest heights / I done seen it twice / And I seen the lowest of the lows, and still I rose / Now I’m at your neck, ni**a.”
