Fresh from acheiving GRAMMYs glory, Victoria Monét was bestowed with another honor at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards this week.

Presented with the Rising Star salute, the singer-songwriter celebrated the win by delivering a dynamite rendition of her breakout bop, ‘On My Mama.’

The infectious empowerment anthem has thus far topped the US R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. It has also peaked at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100.

No stranger to penning hits for others (including Ariana Grande, Chris Brown, and Fifth Harmony), Monét is finally receiving on her own accord. And it’s oh-so deserved.

Just days after gifting the Fivio Foreign-assisted ‘Whatever I Want‘ the music video treatment, Meek Mill has returned to do the same with another fan favorite from his ‘Heathenism‘ EP: ‘Times Like This.’

Accompanied by a Carters Vision-directed clip, ‘Times’ shows a day in the life of the top-selling record and sees him doing everything from turning up at the club to riding in the desert, celebrating with friends, and turning it out on stages across America.

“Came up trappin’ off the phone, these ni–as weren’t happy I was home / You ever make a bad decision? Ni–as happy that you wrong? / I used to pray for times like this / you can’t even imagine what I be on,” he raps on the OthelloBeats-produced song.

Featuring cameos from Rick Ross, Fabolous, and more, see the ‘Times’ visual in full inside.

Tank may have dropped jaws in 2022 when he announced his tenth studio album, ‘R&B Money,‘ would mark his final LP, but this week he dropped jaws for a different reason: an unexpected return to the music scene.

Tapping Fabolous to assist on the new single ‘Before We Get Started,’ the tune sees the 5x GRAMMY nominee sing about easing the worries of a would-be love interest.

“And before we get started / I know your heart is guarded, I know, ooh / Dealin’ with that tender love / Body to body to body / Girl, anywhere, I want you there,” Tank sings on the electric track.

At the time of its Friday (March 8) release, the singer-songwriter did not confirm what larger project ‘Before’ is attached to.

Until official news drops on that, hop inside to get acquainted with the new song (which is accompanied by a Taj and Dre-directed music video).
