Cardi B is reassuring fans that ‘Who Want Smoke,’ her recent collaboration with Offset and Lil Yachty, is NOT a Nicki Minaj diss.

Despite featuring lines like “This attention is so flatterin’ ’cause they’re admirin’ / Don’t know what’s on their mind but it should be retirement / Get the AARP or this AR get to firin” and “These bitches is 0-3 / And there ain’t a lower league, all in my ovaries / The fur on my shoulder mink / Tell me what Hov would think,” the ‘Invasion of Privacy’ rapstress is saying the accusations are misguided.

While Jason Derulo earned yet another platinum plaque courtesy of the Nicki Minaj-enlisted hit, ‘Swalla,’ the song didn’t exactly provide the launching pad he probably wanted for his new album, ‘777,’ as it failed to make an impact on the Hot 100’s top 20 (peaking at #29).

Now, calling on another of the day’s hottest emcees – French Montana – we’re certain pop crooner is hoping his newest single, ‘Tip Toe,’ will find better footing on the charts.  With a lyrical and sonic makeup akin to ‘Swalla,’ the island flavorted cut sees Derulo & Montana join forces to call for the ladies to ‘shake somethin’ while they ‘tip toe.’

Will it be just what he needs to shake up the top 10 on the Hot 100 once more?  Listen inside and tell us:

It’s here!

Remy Ma has unleashed her solo comeback single, ‘Wake Me Up.’

The Queen Bee is back and her faithful #KillerBees are buzzing!

Just days after the announcement of ‘Wake Me Up,’ her highly anticipated collaboration with Remy Ma, rap royal Lil Kim stuns listeners with a stinging track of her own, ‘Took Us a Break.’

Taking to Twitter to unveil official news of the tune’s arrival, Kim referenced the song as “the warm up” (implying much more was on the way).  Also mentioning the 12-year hiatus she’s taken from releasing studio albums (see: 2005’s ‘The Naked Truth’), we could finally be on our way to having official new music from the celebrated femcee.

Is she starting on the right foot?  Listen to her latest inside and let us know:

Having already flexed her philanthropic muscle in her hometown of Houston, TX after the devastating Hurricane Harvey and later lending a helping hand for ‘Hand in Hand’ – the star-studded telethon aimed to support victims of both hurricanes Harvey & Irma – now Beyonce is turning her sights to those left in the wake of Hurricane Maria’s destruction.

Teaming up with J. Balvin on his reggaeton smash, ‘Mi Gente,’ the Queen Bey took to Instagram to announce she’s her proceeds from the track to hurricane and earthquake relief charities including for Puerto Rico, Mexico, and other affected Caribbean islands…

Enter Toby Randall!

Aged just 16, the Pop newcomer hoping to storm the charts with his single ‘Landslide.’

Justin Bieber is back – this time with the help of Dance DJ David Guetta.

The French hitmaker enlists the Pop star for his new single ‘2U.’

Announced just days before its arrival, the track is the latest taste of Guetta’s as-yet-untitled next album – which has thus far spurned the Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne assisted ‘Light My Body Up.’

The latter failed to touch the Billboard Hot 100. Will ‘2U’? As at writing, it’s #5 on iTunes minutes after its release. So early signs are good.

Take a listen below…

While corners of the production are cool, this is pretty much Guetta by the numbers. Although, with Bieber on board, becoming a hit of some variety seems certain.

After a day full of new music from the likes of Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, and Zayn Malik, the cherry on top has come in a surprise release from King Kendrick Lamar.

Until we find out for sure, tuck in below to hear ‘The Heart Part IV.’

As the age old adage goes:  ‘an enemy of my enemy is my friend.’

It’s hard to believe that concept wasn’t the catalyst behind conversations that led to clearing Remy Ma – a longtime nemesis of rapstress Nicki Minaj – to add a verse to Mariah Carey’s latest tune as the pop icon also pencils her name on a list of people who don’t care much for the Harajuku Barbie.

Together, Ma & Carey have teamed to breathe new life to her D.O.A. single, ‘I Don’t.’

Will it be just what the doctor ordered to rescue it from its current fate?  Hear it inside and tell us:

Now tasked with rivalling Iggy Azalea, Young M.A. and Siya, Dej Loaf seeks to reignite interest in her promising career with the brand new effort ‘Hold it Down.’

I’m so beautiful, shoutout my beautician. Keep up the good work, baby, you’ve got potential. Stay way from them lames, stay independent.

Hoping it will outperform the efforts which followed her 2014 cut ‘Try Me’, the song follows the unveiling of her ‘All Jokes Aside’ mixtape which hit the net in April.

In 2009, Nicki Minaj released a demo she had penned for a then-‘Rated R’ Rihanna named ‘Saxon.’

Alas, the number didn’t make the cut and was re-written to build ‘Talk That Talk‘s ‘Red Lipstick.’

This year, Azealia Banks follows in Minaj’s footsteps by unveiling a song she wrote and submitted to the ‘Pose’ purveyor after she was removed from her latest set ‘ANTI.’

Its name? ‘La Dominara‘, which means dominant woman in Spanish.

My house on 40 acres. I wake up, count cake up.  That’s million-dollar pay stubs. Bunch of lawyers and bankers e-mail me my statements. Rubber band, silver Lam’, Hundred grand in my Jacob, I see your man, he a fan, you a hater. You know Rih gettin’ cash.

After taking a much needed break following 2014’s critically and commercially shambolic ‘Paula,’ Robin Thicke returns with a new Nas-assisted single titled ‘Deep.’

Showing off his oft-praised falsetto, ‘Deep’ sees the R&B crooner give fans the first taste from his yet-titled, reportedly yet-finished 8th studio album.  And, as he prepares to perform the cut and many others from his hit collection on October 15th’s ‘TIDAL X:  1015,’ tuck in below to for your first listen:
