Tank teams up with Siya, Chris Brown & Sage the Gemini for ‘#BDay‘, the latest cut lifted to support his January 22nd release ‘Sex, Love, & Pain.’
Unlikely to impress those of Tank‘s fans who prefer his usually older & wiser sound the jam features a sample of Drake‘s ‘Marvin’s Room’ and sits alongside cuts on the LP that feature Rich Homie Quan and Yo Gotti.
How the cut fares when compared to recent releases launched by his closest competitors Sam Smith and Tyrese?
This time it’s from Roc Nation’s Kanye West who surprises the world by dropping two new numbers today before the release of his long-awaited new LP ‘Swish.’

His latest trip?
To London to catch what TopMan has to offer this year where he rubbed shoulders with the model David Gandy before he returns to the U.S. to record material for his forthcoming LP.
The project will follow the release of his self-titled set which delivered the song ‘Jealous’ and sees him tasked with competing with chart-topping efforts by his biggest rivals Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Jason Derulo…and the rising Urban Pop force that is Zayn Malik.
With her sights set on U.S. superstardom the entertainer has dropped a new cut named ‘Nostalgia’ today before the release of its supporting EP which hits retailers on February 19th.
An album is expected to follow months later and, should be armed with material just as powerful as her voice, should see her give the likes of TGJ favourite Tinashe a serious run for their money.

After pushing TLC & Usher to Pop royal status in the 90s the record executive LA Reid set out to do the same with fresh faces as the head of Def Jam in 2005.
Joining him in his mission was the rapper turned exec Jay-Z who, keen to replicate the solo success of his then-girlfriend Beyonce and a ‘Goodies‘-supplying starlet named Ciara– picked up two new artists named Teairra Mari and Rihanna.
The rest as they say is history.
Now, Reid has revealed that Rihanna may not have been treated as a priority at the label if not for moves Beyonce made to support her behind the scenes.
Looks like Beyonce is just full of surprises today isn’t she?
Earlier today the Grammy winning diva sent fans into a frenzy with news of her inclusion in the 2016 Super Bowl Halftime show. Now, as viewers of Spike’s hit series ‘Lip Sync Battle’ recently learned, she silenced rumors of her joining actor/dancer Channing Tatum for a high octane, mimed performance of her 2011 hit ‘Run the World.’

The announcement of mega-Brit bandColdplay headlining the 2016 Super Bowl Halftime show was immediately accompanied by rumors of who would be joining them on stage. And, given the wealth of high profile co-stars on their two decades worth of hits, the task of picking a guest star on “the world’s biggest stage” would prove no easy feat.
But, if the reports flooding in now are to be believed, they’ve selected someone who knows a thing or two about rocking a Super Bowl Halftime show: Beyonce…
