After thrilling fans with their remix to ‘I’m the Man,’ dynamic duo 50 Cent and Chris Brown re-team for a redo courtesy of their latest collabo, ‘No Romeo No Juliet.’

After a nearly-decade long absence from charts as a leading act (and time filled with a number of “buzz” singles), ‘Hot Boyz’ hitmaker Missy Elliott kicked off 2015 by reminding any naysayers that she was hotter than ever.  An undoubted highlight of Katy Perry‘s otherwise forgettable ‘Super Bowl’ Halftime Show (the most watched in history), Elliott’s energy, stage presence, and resume of hits not only resonated with the viewing audience, but only seemed to amplify cries for the multi-talented diva’s full-on return to music.

It would literally be 10 months before their prayers were answered via the Pharrell Williams-produced ‘WTF.’ Dripping every “Elliott-ism” fans had grown to know and love over her 20 year career (see: futuristic & bass driven beat, colorful rapping), the bumping bop proved itself well worth the wait.  A welcomed departure from the dearth of quality rap ruling radio, by the time the tune’s out-of-this-world, Dave Meyers-directed video surfaced fans were sure the return to form would act as the much needed catalyst to put Missy back on top.  Even the rapstress herself bragged in the song:  ‘this another hit I got a(n) Ace in the hole.’

Belacalis ‘Cardi B’ Almanzar is in a peculiar space.

Rising to fame via fifteen-second Instagram rants, the 20-something now finds herself heralded as ‘Love & Hip Hop New York’s leading lady after she joined the series’ latest season.

Why this space is peculiar?

For, she alongside a group of net-famous millennials, now has the strange yet exciting task of elevating her online brand to “mainstream” levels without the benefit of a template actors and musicians use to find their footing in the game.

Great, as it allows the outspoken New Yorker to build that template for herself.

Problematic, as it leaves a large amount of room for things to go terribly wrong.

How she’s dealing with it all?
