The soulful crooner’s sophomore set ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ is easily one of the most anticipated of the year, following a lengthy spell of teasing.
Indeed, it’s been four years since the release of his ground-breaking debut ‘Channel Orange’ and details surrounding its follow-up have been few and far between. A fact which has only heightened the hype for ‘Boys.’
Said buzz reached new highs moments ago when a live broadcast went live on a designated site for the LP.

With 23 sold out shows and over 970,000 attendees to its credit, pop diva Beyonce‘s ‘Formation’ World Tour reportedly grossed over $120 million by the time its first leg concluded in mid-June, according to concert promoter Live Nation.
Touching down in every corner of North America including Miami, Chicago, Houston, Toronto, Seattle New York City, and more, the hotly-selling tour was designed to support the singer/songwriter’s 6th album ‘Lemonade.’
From the looks of its box office receipts, it’s done just that and more:
20 years after its release, Lil’ Kim’s ‘Hardcore’ remains hard-hitting. With an incredible singles-run, iconic videos and impressive chart stats, the Queen Bee delivered a debut era that defined dynamite.
From The Vault ventures back to that time with the female anthem ‘Ladies Night’ (Not Tonight Remix).’
The cut was co-billed ‘Not Tonight,’ yet the version serviced a single was this remix. And, though the original was produced by Jermaine Dupri, the incarnation of the track that was a worldwide hit was helmed by Rashad ‘Ringo’ Smith.
It famously (and heavily) sampled Kool & The Gang classic ‘Ladies Night’ and saw Kim backed by the fiercest female squad. Who else but Missy Elliott, Left Eye, Da Brat, and Angie Martinez. The latter of whom is renown for her radio career, yet at the time was dabbling in Rap.
This A-list cast managed to take the song all the way up to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Rap charts; Kim’s third consecutive on that tally. It peaked at #11 on the UK Singles Chart and was a Top 5 hit in New Zealand, reaching #4.
Directed by Lance Riveira, the accompanying visual was a girl power affair and featured notable cameos from Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, T-Boz, groups Xscape, SWV, Total and Blaque, as well as actress Maia Campbell.
Scenes of the ladies performing were juxtaposed with clips of them being pampered by chiselled assistants. Also inter-spliced was footage from the movie ‘Nothing To Lose’ – starring Martin Lawrence – for which the song was included on the soundtrack.
*****************
Togetherness. It’s a concept that seems to be long forgotten when assessing today’s musical climate. One need not look beyond the “bad bitches” solely needing themselves on their “team.” Or the posters glorifying the “bad blood” which exists between them. The modern crop of female acts have taken the “lonely at the top” concept and run with it. Olympic style.
Kim’s gripe with some of today’s top femcees has often centered on their “supposed” lack of solidarity. Which, regardless of which side of the argument one falls on, is difficult to deny.
In any case, songs such as this, ‘Lady Marmalade,’ ‘Telephone’ and ‘Bang Bang’ prove that there aren’t many things as impactful as female acts united on a track.
We patiently await the next. In the meantime…
Beyonce is said to be preparing a foray into the wonderful world of education.

Kanye West is ever outspoken and lived up to his billing moments ago on Twitter.
The rapper turned human megaphone this time shared his view on the on-going battle between streaming platforms – with specific reference to Apple and Jay Z‘s TIDAL.
Yeezy, along with acts such as Rihanna and Coldplay, signed on as a part-owner in Jigga’s company.
And despite a number of high-profile exclusives (the most notable being Beyonce‘s ‘Lemonade’), the service lags by quite a margin behind market leader Spotify and Apple Music.
With the latter reportedly in talks to buy TIDAL, it seems Ye’s words are timely and perhaps provide an insight into the status of negotiations.
