Jay-Z has teamed up with the late Nipsey Hussle for a titan-sized collaboration. And fittingly, it’s for an equally epic movie – ‘Judas & The Black Messiah.’

The Rap stars trade verses on ‘What It Feels Like,’ which is housed on the soundtrack for Warner Bros’ new film on the life of activist Fred Hampton.

Anchored by Daniel Kaluuya and also starring LaKeith Stanfield, the film is set to arrive this Friday (Feb 12). Said date will bring with it the soundtrack too, which houses HOV and Hussle’s track.

Before then, a lengthy preview has been unwrapped alongside a final teaser for the film.

On it, Jigga can be heard rapping:

“I arrived on the day Fred Hampton got mur—hold up / Assassinated just to clarify further.
Black stones on my neck, y’all can’t kill Christ / Black Messiah is what I feel like / Shit ain’t gon’ stop till y’all spill blood / We gon’ turn up even more since y’all killed cuh.”

In or out of album promo cycle, Katy Perry is quite the busy bee as she reiterated on her pit stop to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Monday night (February 8).

The GRAMMY nominee has pumped the brakes on the push behind her ill-fated fifth studio album, ‘Smile,’ and is now building awareness for the season 4 launch of ABC’s ‘American Idol’ (which resumes its search for America’s next undiscovered superstar on February 14).

When not dishing with Kimmel about ‘Idol,’ Perry – donning her signature black hair and a mosaic, form-fitting dress – discussed the joys of motherhood to 5-month-old daughter Daisy Bloom and even weighed in on The Weeknd‘s epic Super Bowl showing from Sunday (February 7).
