#MLKDay is getting a poignant homage from rapper Young Jeezy with his newest video ‘Sweet Life.’
Getting assistance from ‘Tight Rope’ diva Janelle Monae, the black-and-white clip shines a much needed spotlight on racial injustice, police brutality, and criminal justice reform.
Get into ‘Life,’ the newest release from Jeezy’s lateest chart-topping album ‘Church in These Streets,’ below:
Secrecy has encased the recording of Lady Gaga‘s comeback album. A refreshing change of practice from the hyper-hyped approach that defined previous efforts.
And while details the follow-up to 2013’s ‘ARTPOP’ are scarce, it was confirmed that Mother Monster has been in the studio with the likes of RedOne and Mark Ronson.
The latter, whose smash ‘Uptown Funk’ dominated the charts last year, has opened up about his sessions with the superstar singer.
Fact: Bryson Tiller is R&B’s fastest rising and most promising newbie.
Don’t agree?
Well, one would have to take that it up with Drake who was so impressed by him that he was gearing up to sign him as soon as he heard his critically acclaimed LP ‘T R A P S O U L.’
The Breakfast Club enjoyed the esteemed company of the media mogul Russell Simmons recently who joined them for what may be one of their most educational interviews to date.
His conversation with them saw him detail his journey to the levels he currently sits atop now and how his healthy lifestyle plays an important role in the health of his numerous business ventures.
Philadelphia’s very own Meek Mill continues to churn out new content for his fans today after the launch of his latest effort ‘4/4.’
This time he drops the video for the single ‘The Trillest’ pulled from his latest LP ‘Dreams Worth More Than Money’ which features an appearance from the rapper Nicki Minaj, his current girlfriend.
Future infuriated fans earlier today when his much-touted new mixtape ‘Purple Reign’ was delayed without explanation.
The Future Hive, as they’ve collectively come to be known, need not fret, though. Because the DJ Esco and Metro Boomin produced set has finally landed.
Prior to its arrival, the rapper’s spirited supporters descended on the Instagram of his ex Ciara. As widely reported, the MC has taken to social media to slam his former fiance over “alleged” visitation issues pertaining to their one-year-old son. The singer has vehemently denied the allegations.
Anyway, the music is what matters most…right?! Take a listen below…
The R&B siren has has been busy shooting her BET talent-search ‘Chasing Destiny,’ but that hasn’t halted production on her upcoming fifth solo album.
Ms. Kelly whet appetites late last year with club jam ‘Dumb,’ yet it seems as though she’s gearing up to drop more new music in a mere matter of weeks.
What happens when two artists from the two of music’s biggest girlbands join forces? Apparently, smash hit bliss!
This week’s From The Vault pick is Melanie C‘s ‘Never Be The Same Again‘ featuring the incomparable Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes.
A rather unlikely pairing on paper, it quickly becomes clear upon listening to ‘Same’ that the ladies were onto winner. Released in early 2000, the track served as the third single from Sporty Spice’s debut effort ‘Northern Star‘ and saw her showcasing a radically different facet of her artistry. Especially when compared to the sugar-coated sound that defined “Spice Mania,” which took over the globe (with the firmest of grips) during the latter 90’s.
Rhett Lawrence produced the track which he co-wrote with Chisolm and Lopes – who was in the midst of expanding her brand following TLC‘s blockbuster album, ‘FanMail‘.
The track proved to be a huge European success for the duo, hitting #1 in the UK and #5 in Germany. Sadly, it didn’t chart in the US but fared very well in Australia where it reached the second position of the ARIA chart.
With its futuristic feel and modern-design elements, the video for the single was very much carved in the vein of what could be seen on MTV in a post-Matrix reality.
Lensed by Francis Lawrence, the visual presents Melanie in a sterile, Feng-shui environment meditating to music, running (no doubt to the top of the charts) before being joined by Left-Eye for a synchronised Tai-Chi session. The latter dubbed as captivating “choreography” in itself.
With this collaboration, the girls showed that mixing Spice with touch of TLC can yield the most delicious of results. We yearn for more out-of-the-box pairings such as this. Hopefully, today’s top talent will do away with the rigid politics and oblige.
One year after performing the lead single from her calamity of a ‘ANTI’ campaign, it has been revealed that the star will once again grace music’s most revered stage. Presumably to perform its latest “launch” track.
