Beyonce and JAY-Z are cooking up something colossal in Jamaica.

Music’s king and queen were snapped in Trench Town early this week filming a visual with director Melina Matsoukas.

And while the shoot in shroud in secrecy, more pics and clips have emerged from the second day of production have emerged.

Could the couple be prepping a new music video? Or perhaps visuals for their upcoming ‘On The Run II’ stadium shows? Time will tell.

For now though, peep more of the set after the jump…

‘There’s always room for us to work with each other…always!’

Exciting words lifted from a recent interview with R&B veteran Monica when quizzed on the status of her next album, the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Code Red.’

Name-dropping the likes of Missy Elliott, Polow Da Don, Dallas Austin, Pharrell Williams, and Timbaland as ‘wish-list contributors’ for what will come as her 9th studio effort, the Grammy-winner recently took to our friends at Essence to indicate she is also looking for up-and-coming creators to lend their hand in crafting her new music as evidenced by her ‘Drop the Beat’ songwriter/producer contest (click here for more details).

As she readies the new-new, the songstress was also quizzed on her iconic duet with Brandy, ‘The Boy Is Mine,’ as it celebrates its 20th anniversary in the coming months.  Despite what many have perceived as an ongoing feud between them (click here to read more on that), Mo had nothing but glowing things to say about the ‘Full Moon’ beauty and even suggested the two could work together again if given the opportunity.

Taylor Swift‘s done it again.

Despite her latest album, ‘Reputation,’ not earning quite the response of its predecessors on the Hot 100 front (see:  only launching 2 top 10 singles to date), the project is still leaving the competition in the dust on the Billboard 200.

Released in November 2017, it went platinum its inaugural week by shifting a whopping 1.2 million units.  Going on to be the year’s biggest seller, the set – kicked off by the chart-topping ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ – passed the double platinum mark in sales this week.

Continuing an impressive sales streak, much like the titles before it, the new feat’s gifted Swift a unique accomplishment.  See what we mean:

Festival fans rejoice!

Urban music’s leading crooners – The Weeknd and Bruno Mars – dominated much of last year’s Billboard charts with offerings from their respective albums, ‘Starboy’ and ’24K Magic.’ Now, they intend to bring that command to the 2018 Lollapalooza stage.

The four-day festival, which takes place August 2-5 in Chicago, saw its official lineup unveiled today and (to the surprise of no one) it does not disappoint!  In addition to Weeknd & Mars – billed as the fest’s headlining acts – look inside to see who’ll join them rock Chitown this summer:
