Like Trinidad James, Bobby Shmurda and Dej Loaf before her, Young M.A. is now tasked with turning her Hip-Hop hit into a lasting career.
Who stepped up to support her as she does so? Wendy Williams, the talkshow host who invited her to perform her number ‘Ooouuu’ for her viewers this week.
There, she sought to win over new fans before the unveiling of her next studio set which will is set to be touted as an independent release.

The ever impressive Dawn Richard completes the final chapter in her creative story with the release of ‘Redemption’, her latest LP.
I spent more time on this album than any other era because I wanted it to be special. I wanted to speak on self discovery. What it means to be black. To be a woman. To speak on gay rights. To speak on black crimes. To talk about sexual discovery. And to find redemption in having a voice to do so. Thank you for standing in this movement with me. For fighting in each era and growing with me. You have a heart for life.
The set is now available to stream below and follows her short-lived return to Danity Kane and several live dates delivered to fans around the world.
How that journey has inspired her?
Listen below…
November 18th brought with it the long-awaited third album from one of modern music’s eminent male performers – Bruno Mars.
Titled ’24k Magic,’ the project – launched to charts on the backs of its title track (which skyrocketed to the Billboard Hot 100’s top 5) and its 90’s slow jam-inspired follow-up ‘Versace on the Floor’ – is a themed affair that gives music lovers a ride down music’s memory lane. A clear answer to fans thanks to the overwhelming response to Mars’ 2014 knockout hit ‘Uptown Funk,’ ‘Magic’ almost acts as a full length version of ‘Funk’ in that almost every song on the project is sonically reminiscent of some of R&B’s most prized offerings from the late 80’s and early 90’s.
Gimmicky or daring? Some music lovers can’t decide. Yet, while many are praising the singer/songwriter’s willingness to go against the grain of what most of today’s chart-toppers are offering, there is an eery lack of buzz surrounding the project. The worrying notion is supported by early predictions that indicate the album could sell as little as 125k its first week.
While we await the official prediction (set to drop later today), we turn to you – as always – to ask:
With industry predictions for Bruno Mars’ third album, ’24K Magic’ (released today), well below expectation (more on that tomorrow), fans can expect to see more of the chart-topping crooner to their television screens this week with hopes of reversing the tide.
In fact, Bruno-lovers will be #blessed with a double dosage of the divo on November 20 when he not only opens the 2016 American Music Awards, but will also be the subject of a candid interview with ’60 Minutes.’ Airing this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT on CBS, the singer/songwriter is inviting viewers to his Hawaiian childhood home and will reportedly chronicle his road from tragedy to triumph.
In what looks to be a compelling watch, hop under the jump to watch the interviews’ official teaser:
As their monster hit ‘Starboy’ continues to to dominate radio and streaming alike, The Weeknd and Daft Punk reunite for a follow-up with ‘I Feel It Coming.’
Released today, the tune – a chill affair in comparison to the energetic ‘Starboy’ – comes as a dual release for the Canadian crooner who also dropped the Lana Del Rey co-penned ‘Party Monster.’ Also featuring background vocals from the ‘High by the Beach’ beauty, ‘Monster’ and ‘Coming’ come to fans after the critically acclaimed number ‘False Alarm.’
Keen to hear what the hitmaker is serving up next from his highly anticipated third album? It awaits below:
A week on, Donald Trump‘s shock win in the US presidential election is still leaving an unfortunate taste in the mouths of millions.
One of those especially irked by the new president elect is Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui.
In an open letter published in Billboard, the 20-year-old expresses her extreme frustrations with Trump, his supporters, and their shared beliefs.
Perhaps most notable were her reasons. For, she asserts: “I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman and so proud.” An emphatic reference, no doubt, to Trump’s problematic stance on immigration, women, and the LGBTQ community.
Her candidness in specific regard to the latter is the first time the star has publicly discussed her sexuality.
The letter, though long, makes for a compelling read.

Trey Songz has been musically missing in action for much of the year, but pulls the “trigga” early on Christmas with new song ‘Comin’ Home.’

The cut is lifted from the songbird’s long-awaited third album, which debuted inside the top 5 of the Billboard 200 last month.
Stripped back and raw is how we like our JoJo and she more than shows why here.

Jennifer Lopez wears many titles – and “carpet slayer” is most definitely one of them.
The 47-year-old turned heads and dropped jaws with her gorgeous black ensemble at the 2016 Latin Grammy Awards last night in Las Vegas.
La Lopez’s appearance at the 17th annual show comes following news that she’s gearing up to release another Spanish language album.
The set is being produced by ex-husband Marc Anthony, who she took to the stage to perform with yesterday evening.

Bruno Mars has delivered his long awaited third album ‘24k Magic’ today.
The follow-up to 2012 effort ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ is an audacious effort filled with R&B jams that provide a flavorful soundtrack to pregame of Friday nights.
Sonically ‘Magic’ sees Mars channel the ‘80s and ‘90s era of R&B, which many a millennial cite as its peak years with contributions from the likes of Prince, Boyz II Men, and Babyface. Influences clearly present on the 9-song set.
With the set already moving numbers at retail, three new tracks have been made available to stream.
Listen to ‘Chunky,’ ‘That’s What I Like,’ and ‘Perm’ below. All were written and produced by Bruno, Phillip Lawrence, and Christopher ‘Brody’ Brown. A collective now known as Shampoo Press & Curl. (more…)
Kanye West is never one to hold his tongue.
However, unlike most of his Hollywood contemporaries, the rapper was noticeably mute in voicing his views on the recent US election. A move which surprised many given his publicly declared desires to run for office in 2020.
True to form, it was only a matter of time before Yeezy sounded off.
And he used the launch of the second leg of his ‘Saint Pablo Tour’ in California to share his view that Donald Trump is a “genius.”
During one of many rants at the show, he added that while he didn’t vote, he would have voted for the US’ president elect.
