Two years after launching a huge Kickstarter campaign, iconic R&B group TLC will release their final album on June 30th.

Having given fans a taste of what to expect by way of the Snoop Dogg assisted ‘Way Back’ and ‘Haters,’ the ladies have lifted the lid on the pertinent details of the LP – namely its title, tracklist, and cover.

Opting for a simple yet definitive name, T-Boz and Chilli have christened their last effort ‘TLC.’

Peep the confirmed artwork and songs featured below…

1. No Introduction
2. Way Back (ft. Snoop Dogg)
3. It’s Sunny
4. Haters
5. Perfect Girls
6. Interlude
7. Start A Fire
8. American Gold
9. Scandalous
10. Aye M××HAFUCKA
11. Joy Ride
12.Way Back (ft. Snoop Dogg) [Extended]

Chris Brown can’t seem to catch a break. Not even on his birthday.

Last night saw the R&B bad boy celebrate his 28th at a Houston nightclub. However, upon leaving, he was formally served with a court-approved restraining order from ex Karrueche Tran.

As reported, the Emmy winner filed paperwork earlier this year to keep C. Breezy away from her and her friends – alleging his threatening and violent behavior as reasons.

Clearly, a judge agreed because Brown must now stay away from Tran and co.

Watch the hella awkward moment her received the papers below…

Janet Jackson is heading back on the road.

As reported, the superstar singer will embark on the ‘State Of The World Tour’ this Fall, with the trek officially kicking off on September 7th.

With tickets now on sale (and doing well), a new promotional poster for the 56-date US leg has been unveiled. Check it out above.

The jaunt sees Jackson hold true to her promise of resuming live dates after having to bring the ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ to a halt due to pregnancy.

But with baby son Eissa born this January, Jackson (who split from the child’s father two months ago) is getting back to business.

Sources close to the 50-year-old assert that motherhood and music are now her primary focus and that she’s working aggressively to ensure she’s in fighting form to deliver her best tour yet.

Anyone who’s followed Janet’s career will agree that her snapback game is on all sorts of fleek. So, we’re sure she’ll deliver dynamite come September time.

It looks like Katy Perry may have to put in a call to Olivia Pope & Associates or an equivalent service. Because her new single ‘Bon Appétit’ is bombing – and in a big way.

Unleashed only a week ago, the Migos assisted track has experienced an uncharacteristically bad chart run.

Indeed, signs looked bad when it failed to ever reach the top 10 of US iTunes – a reality virtually unheard of for a “Katy Perry” release.

Fast forward a week and the track has vanished from the top 100 of the market leader’s digital store.

As at writing, it sits at #103.

Fascinatingly, its below its preceding single ‘Chained To The Rhythm’ (#83) and older efforts from the likes of Lady Gaga (see: ‘Million Reasons’ / #69).

With streaming figures looking equally problematic, it’s unlikely (although not impossible) that even a video will help this.

It definitely makes one wonder: If Katy is struggling to sell / stream singles, what fate awaits her album?

Your thoughts?

Tamar Braxton is wasting no time tackling her new single ‘My Man’ live.

The 40-year-old performed the emotional song during her Houston, Texas show last night and made sure its inaugural offering was one to remember.

Employing the length and breadth of her impressive range, Ms. She, Me, Her soared to vocal heights with the track – which she says lays bare the reason for her parents break-up.

Watch below…

She did that.

Tamar can definitely grate at times, but her talent is undeniable.

Amazing performance.

The musical mogul Nicki Minaj faces claim that she helped a former friend rob commit a heinous crime by serving as his getaway driver.

Currently hard at work on new material and brand partnerships, the rapper has discovered that her former Hoodstars compadre 7even Up has spilled the beans on their alleged illegal proclivities much to the dismay of her fans.

What he says the business woman did when he attacked someone in NYC?

Watch below…

Minaj parted ways with Hoodstars to pursue a career as a solo performer and was picked up Birdman’s Cash Money collective shortly after.

She’s yet to respond.

Did you miss the release of Future‘s highly-anticipated visual for the hit ‘Mask Off’?

Two cups, toast up with the gang
From food stamps to a whole ‘nother domain
Out the bottom, I’m the livin’ proof (Super)
Ain’t compromising, half a million on the Coupe
Drug houses, lookin’ like Peru
Graduated, I was overdue
Pink molly, I can barely move
Ask about me, I’m gon’ bust a move
Rick James, thirty-three chains
Ocean air, cruisin’ Biscayne
Top off, that’s a liability
Hit the gas, boostin’ my adrenaline

New video alert!

Hoping to bag multiple hits before the unveiling of her next studio album, Nicki Minaj glides into saucy action with help from Lil Wayne and David Guetta with the visual for their jam ‘Light My Body Up‘.

Released as her fans mock her rival Remy Ma over claims of infidelity within her marriage, the video was directed by Benny Boom and impacts the world following the release of her lacklustre visual for her cut ‘No Frauds’.

Is it time for Minaj to welcome new creative energy into her mix?

When it was revealed that Rita Ora had signed with Atlantic Records, many wondered whether it’d see her team with some of the superstars on their roster.

Well, it looks like that didn’t take long to come to fruition. For, she’s working with Ed Sheeran.

In a mysterious clip shared on Instagram, the media maven is seen in what looks like a studio gazing into a camera with the ‘Shape Of You’ crooner by her side. A brief snippet of a song plays before it cuts out.

See what we mean…

A post shared by Rita Ora (@ritaora) on

If indeed a collaboration, it’d be a huge coup for Rita.

The road to her second album has been rocky to say the least following a long legal wrangle with former label Roc Nation.

In possibly pairing up with the most successful act on the charts, her campaign would be off to a flying start.

We’re buzzed. Are you?

Your thoughts?

Unwilling to make the most of their status as legacy acts is TLC, the duo behind and in front of the new number ‘Haters’.

Haters gonna hate / People gon’ say what they say / We don’t care about that anyway.

The cut appears on the final LP which impacts retailers on June 30th and sees the ladies address their doubters and naysayers with lyrics and production which stand a long way away from the material which turned the group into a household name.

Listen below…

Kendrick Lamar has given the competition yet another reason to say ‘Damn.’

As if already setting the Billboard 200 alight by boasting the year’s best first week sales with his tertiary release wasn’t enough, now – as it reigns atop the tally for yet another week – the set has been certified platinum.

Taking to Twitter earlier today, his label announced:

Congratz are undoubtedly in order for Lamar.  Tuck in to see who joins him in the top 25 on this week’s refreshed TGJ Chart Check:

When Floetry returned in 2015, fans were elated. Especially when the soulful duo embarked on not one but two reunion tours.

However, behind the scenes, turmoil was brewing and old wounds lay bare.

In a new interview with The Breakfast Club today, Marsha Ambrosius lifted the lid on the drama few actually knew about.

And believe us, it runs deep.

Beyond her fall-out with the Floacist (Natalie Stewart), Ambrosius opened up about becoming a mother and a fiance, as well new music, and a whole lot more.
