With soaring popularity, solid sales, and a spot on Usher’s upcoming tour, August Alsina‘s debut album ‘Testimony’ quite literally lives up to its billing.

It’s hard to believe that today marks eight years (yes, eight) since Fergie unleashed her debut solo album ‘The Duchess’ on the masses.

And while we could go down memory lane and reminisce on the countless jams the multi-Platinum set gave birth to, we’d much rather rejoice at the newest news surrounding the Black Eyed Peas front-woman.

For, according to fresh reports, the 39-year-old is gearing up to release new music…and soon.

Details below…

Ariana Grande continues her all-out push for new album ‘My Everything’.

The aggressive campaign for the budding diva’s sophomore LP counts the cover of Marie Claire‘s October issue as its latest stop.

It goes without saying that the 21-year-old has been everywhere of late. And while such media saturation runs risk of jarring the masses, we’re all for Ms. Grande’s unashamed bid to bolt to the top. Her talent is entirely deserving.

Another day, another Kanye West rant.

After footage surfaced of the Grammy winner demanding that some disabled fans stand up to dance at a recent stop on his world tour, he found himself tunneling through a mountain of damning headlines.

Tired of the slamming, West took to another concert to clear his name.  Giving one of his now infamous on stage rants, the ‘Heartless’ hitmaker asserted his mistaken intention and even claimed to be the victim in the scenario.

Do you agree with his stance?  Tell us below:

‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker Snoop Dogg is in hot water after slamming a commenter on Instagram with a slew of homophobic slurs. While the story remains unclear on what catalyzed the Doggfather’s rant, what is certainly clear is that he was playing approximately no games with the person his fiery commentary was directed to.

Uploading a photo of the person in bed with another young man, the caption that accompanied the post set Instagram ablaze and prompted Snoop to later delete the photo.

Of course, he did so much too late:

The good people over at ‘Hot 97’ caught up with Nicki Minaj this morning, calling the rapper to get details on her recent collaboration with ‘Ring the Alarm’ singer Beyonce.

Revealing that the pair had intended to perform their ‘Flawless‘ remix at the ‘2014 MTV Video Music Awards’, her interview with ’97’ also saw her speak on 2010’s ‘Girls Falls Like Dominoes’, a song in which she unknowingly predicted she would work alongside Bey in Paris…four years before it happened.

Songs like ‘Love,’ ‘Half Crazy,’ and ‘Don’t Change’ may have brought Grammy-nominated R&B crooner Musiq Soulchild to fame, but fans looking for more tunes like the aforementioned from the Philly native may have to wait awhile.

For, after first testing the Urban waters with his crunk-infused number ‘Radio’ (the lead single from his 2008 album ‘OnMyRadio’), it appears Soulchild is taking things a step further with a newly unveiled rap alter ego named The Husel.

In a bid to increase his presence on charts and radio alike, the singer/songwriter argues that his former moniker rendered him less marketable.

“For whatever reason, R&B is struggling.  I’m the type of person who likes to entertain people based on what they’re saying entertains them, and right now this sound is what’s entertaining them.

As an artist, songwriter and producer I sit back and listen and say, ‘Okay, if that’s what y’all like, I can do that.’”


Will it work?  Preview some new tracks below and tell us:
