Shortly after his appearance at Lollapalooza, the GRAMMY-nominee has dropped his latest song – ‘Appreciation’ – which features 2 Chainz and Ty Dolla Sign.

“Shorty make it clap / Yeah, standing ovation / I’m spending my money / Just to show appreciation.“

The track was previously announced earlier this week and arrives a month after his Kehlani-assisted ‘Section.’

Clemons has not revealed if the singles will be part of a bigger project or if they will be stand-alone releases.

Kiana Ledé will undoubtedly turn heads with her latest music video, which stars rapper Vic Mensa as the leading male.

“You was with my man last night / And you just realized what you felt that night wasn’t wrong / Thought about me in the whole car ride, like / I hate that you ain’t your best friend,” ‘Lani and Ledé sing on the cut’s infectious hook.

Despite the ongoing success of their #1 smash single, ‘Leave the Door Open,’ singer-songwriters Bruno Mars and Anderson. Paak are undoubtedly hoping fans are leaving room in their playlists for more new music from Silk Sonic.

While the GRAMMY-winning duo continue to keep mum about when the tune’s parent album will drop, they sent their supporters into a frenzy earlier this week with the cryptic announcement of ‘Summertime Jam.’  And though it wasn’t made clear at the time of the announcement if the drop would be a song or album, Friday (July 30) indeed brought with it a brand spankin’ new music video in the form of ‘Skate.’

A summery, 70’s-inspired bop, the uptempo number is accompanied by an equally sizzling music video directed by Mars and Florent Dechard.  Watch inside:

All eyes are on Billie Eilish…and rightfully so.

The 19-year-old blazed onto the scene with her debut album, ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?,’ and nabbed hit-after-hit and award-after-award all through 2020.

And while the buzz for her sophomore era hasn’t exactly mirrored the gargantuan success of its predecessor, it’s delivered no shortage of smashes as it’s rendered three top 10 hits (‘My Future,’ ‘Your Power,’ and ‘Therefore I Am’) and a couple of top 40s all ahead of its July 30 premiere.

Is Eilish well on her way to silencing naysayers who have predicted a sophomore slump for her?  Listen to the 16-track project inside and tell us:

Queen of Pop Madonna adds her name to the growing list of detractors royally slamming embattled rapper DaBaby for his homophobic comments at ‘Rolling Loud’ Sunday (July 25).

As we previously reported, the emcee (born Jonathan Kirk) has been embroiled in controversy since he took to the concert festival stage to publicly denounce men who “suck d*ck in parking lots’ and those who ‘showed up with AIDS that’ll make [them] die in 2-3 weeks.”  His statements were met with fury and shock, much of which has led to lost endorsements and slams from fellow celebrities and LGBTQ+ allies like Elton John, Dua Lipa, Anitta, Demi Lovato, and many more.

Now, the Material Girl – a Pop star who has long made loud her advocacy for AIDS-related causes over her nearly 40-year career – has a few words Kirk.  See them inside:

Chris Brown is no stranger to controversy, but recent times have seen the singer’s focus fixed on his musical output.

And that tunnel vision approach is one he is advising his peers to adhere to.

For, C. Breezy has shared a public service announcement that many feel is aimed at DaBaby – who has been lodged in the headlines after making shocking remarks at Rolling Loud Miami. 

As reported, the rapper ignited ample anger after yelling offensive comments about gay people and those with HIV while on-stage.

The backlash has been blazing, with the flames of fury intensifying with each ill-advised attempt at clarifying (and seemingly justifying) his words.
