Before Chance the Rapper fans can make a beeline to digital outlets to hear ‘Star Line,’ his forthcoming album, the GRAMMY winner is still whetting appetites with tastes of what the new project is set to serve.

After ending April with the deeply personal cut ‘Buried Alive,’ Chance follows with the equally touching, DJ Premier-assisted ‘Together.’

“If you keep the house in the family, you can keep the family in the house / If you on the run, you got family in the South,” he raps on the new tune also produced by Premier. “We used to watch “Annie, Are You Okay?” on the couch / My cousin used to slam me ’til I punched him in the mouth / My aunty used to cook for twenty people every week / My uncle in the basement, even if they never speak.”

Accompanied by its official music video directed by Chance himself, hop inside to get acquainted with ‘Together.’

Xscape are no stranger to headlines.

As such, when the iconic group stopped by The Breakfast Club today to promote their joint trek with SWV, ‘The Queens of R&B Tour,’ the ladies were quizzed on the alleged lawsuit member LaTocha Scott filed against the band.

Viewers of the groups’ Bravo series saw tensions explode between the ‘Who Can I Run To’ singers, most especially between sisters Tamika Scott and LaTocha – who could not establish ‘Understanding’ over the alleged stealing of money. Specifically, checks Tamika insists went…missing.

Interestingly, that wasn’t the source of the recent legal wrangle. Rather, it was LaTocha’s issues with the band’s use of the “Xscape” trademark – given that she is a co-owner and is not currently performing with the group.

Asked directly about the matter, Kandi, Tiny, and Tamika didn’t hold back with their response.

The April-released ‘Slut Me Out 2‘ may still be garnering traction for NLE Choppa, but the Memphis rapper is ready to move on to ‘Movin’ – his new single.

Tapping BenMarc to direct its accompanying visual, Choppa used the clip to unveil his first signature footwear (the FCTRY Lab Duck Boot) in the video while turning up to the new song.

“I’m sticking and moving, my life like a movie / I’m tucking the toolie as big as Lil Uzi / Gripping her booty and grabbing her coochie / I’m stabbing her uterus, sticking and moving,” he raps in the racy cut produced by ISM, Klimperboy, and CuBeatz.

See the action inside.
