Once hailed as the preeminent performer of her generation, Britney Spears is no stranger to deafening calls from fans to return to stage to remind music lovers of why she was exalted as such.

But, if a recent video uploaded to the 39-year-old’s official Instagram is any indication, she has other plans.

‘Loyal’ singer Chris Brown may have recently announced he has every intention on making his loyal fan base (affectionately called #TeamBreezy) ‘miss him’ before he adds new music to his lengthy discography, but that hasn’t slowed his contributions to the catalogs of others.

In addition to adding his signature vocal stylings to new songs from the likes of Tory Lanez, Sevyn Streeter, H.E.R., Jack Harlow, Mooski, and others over just the last few months (as we’ve reported here), the 32-year-old can most recently be found aboard Wale‘s new single, ‘Angles.’

No strangers to collaborations as they’ve tag teamed on the likes of ‘Pretty Girls (Remix),’ ‘Body 2 Body (Remix),’ ‘Heaven On Earth,’ ‘Angles’ – produced by OG Parker – contains a prominent sample of Diddy’s 2002 hit, ‘I Need a Girl’ (which featured Usher and Loon).

While DaBaby has made his presence felt all over charts and radio courtesy of a slew of features (see: the latest efforts from Boosie, Polo G, Tory Lanez, and more), the rapper (born Jonathan Kirk) hasn’t shone by his lonesome since dropping his single ‘Masterpiece’ earlier this year.

If his newest drop, ‘Ball If I Want To,’ is any indication, it appears he’s ready for some solo time in the spotlight again.

Produced by dope, the braggadocious bop serves as reminder to naysayers that Kirk doesn’t need a reason to splurge on the finer things in life.

“B*tch, it ain’t even my birthday but I can ball if I want to (Ball) / Pull up, foreign cars if I want to (Skrrt) / Hop out that bitch with that iron in my jumpsuit (Go) / Just do what I say and I love you (Okay?) / I get this sh*t from my uncle,” he raps on the sizzling cut.

As the long-awaited arrival of her debut album evinces, Gabriella Wilson, better known by her stage name H.E.R., has had one of the most unique launches in music history.

At just 23-years-young, the songstress – well on her way to veteran status – not only already boasts a lengthy catalog of chart-topping EPs and compilation albums but also has a mantel full of industry honors that includes an Academy Award, numerous GRAMMYs, and more.

Now, she’s only putting the cherry on top with her inaugural LP – ‘Back of My Mind.’ 

Soaring onto digital shelves on the wings of housed tunes ‘Hold On,’ ‘Come Through,’ ‘My Own,’ and her highest charting hits as a leader to date, ‘Slide’ and ‘Damage,’ ‘Mind’ comes as a 21-track effort that sees H.E.R. take center stage as performer, writer, and producer while also calling on help from industry friends Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, DJ Khaled, and more.

Fans of ‘Stir Fry’ hitmakers Migos were stunned to learn the trio had already cooked up a deluxe edition to the long-awaited third installment of their ‘Culture’ musical series.

The set’s original incarnation (released June 11) launched on the backs of singles ‘Avalanche’ and ‘Straightenin’ and was headed straight to the #2 spot on the Billboard 200 based on analyst predictions, blocked only by fellow HIp Hop heavyweight Polo G‘s third studio album, ‘Hall of Fame.’

To turn the tide or at least close the sales gap between those respective efforts, Quavo, Takeoff, & Offset not only hit the promo trail on a media blitz but they have announced the arrival of the LP’s official deluxe edition with five new songs.
