Lil Kim has sharpened her creative tools and is ready to carve out a new lane for herself this year.

Yes, that’s right…her brand new body of work is on the way.

Over two months after officially unveiling the tune, K. Michelle finally gifts fans with a visual to accompany her well-received ‘Not A Little Bit.’

Lifted from her tertiary release, ‘More Issues Than Vogue’ (in stores today), the Southern songstress has been hot on the promo trail in support of the project with spot tour dates, endorsement deals galore (including some placements seen in the video), and so much more.

Now, with hopes to amp up buzz around the release, the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart,’ Michelle is hoping a peek at the video for ‘Little Bit’ will make you a little bit more anxious to buy her latest offering.

It definitely did the trick for us.  See it below:

Nick Jonas is back with a new jam.

‘Close’ was uncaged moments ago and serves as the lead release from the crooner’s second studio album ‘Last Year Was Complicated.’

Due June 10th, the set (which features the likes of Big Sean and Ty Dolla $ign) will be the first commercial test of sorts to see if the pin-up can capitalize on the immense success he enjoyed with ‘Jealous’ and its aftermath.

To aid his cause, he has recruited Swedish star Tove Lo for ‘Close.’

Is a bop that’s destined to blow up?! Listen below and let us know…

The day has come for Zayn Malik.

Debut solo album ‘Mind Of Mine’ has marched into stores and is poised to sell north of 200,000 copies.

With today’s streaming age in full effect and on-demand plays now a factor in chart placements, the former One Direction singer is harnessing his power in that realm by unveiling the video for promotional song ‘BeFoUr’ (his spelling not ours).

Grittier than previous efforts ‘Pillow Talk’ and ‘It’s You,’ the visual pays aesthetic homage to his British beginnings.

Billboard belle’s Fifth Harmony are blazing the promotional pavement in support of new single ‘Work From Home.’

Their latest stop to plug the cut was the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ stage moments ago, where they scorched with a creative rendition of the song.

Recreating its Director X video in a live setting, the group showed up and showed out.

For many, Kelly Rowland‘s career has been a frustrating one to observe.

Undeniably one of today’s stronger vocalists, a supposed lack of creative direction and all the logistical problems sharing a manager with Beyonce might bring are often cited as two reasons the gifted star was often overlooked at the beginning of her solo journey.

Now, she seeks to carve a new lane for herself via the show ‘Chasing Destiny‘, teaming up with her longtime friend and creative director Frank Gatson to build a group they’ll lead to Destiny’s Child-flavoured glory.

So, to honour of the journey Rowland will pull from to mentor her members, TGJ celebrates her criminally overlooked ‘Simply Deep.’

After her last album ‘Point of No Return’ lived up to its title on the Billboard 200, ‘Heaven Sent’ songbird Keyshia Cole is undoubtedly looking to regain R&B prominence with her 7th official release.

With buzz around the project already brewing after rumors swirled the singer was signing to Columbia Records, Cole took to Instagram to turn the heat up on said buzz by announcing its official first single.

2016 has been awfully kind to Rihanna, Adele, and Justin Bieber.  If you need proof, as reported here, turn to the Billboard 200 and you’ll see the trio have kept the top 5 of the chart locked with their respective offerings.

While Addy and Biebs, who both released their albums in November 2015, have not fallen out of the top 5 one time since, Rih – who reclaimed the top spot this week – has only been out of the tally’s upper quintet once (when her album debuted at #27).

But, as they celebrate continued domination of the album charts, the real shakeup will come next week when, as previously reported, Gwen Stefani steam rolls competition to nab her first #1 courtesy of ‘This Is What the Truth Feels Like.’

Until we see how everyone fares, tuck in below to see where all of your faves landed on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:

Twitter is refusing to give any slack to Iggy Azalea.

The rapstress, whose hiatus was fueled by incessant claims of cultural misappropriation and rumors or ghostwriters (among other slams), has re-emerged and ready to set fire to the comeback trail.  But, not even two weeks after unveiling her comeback tune ‘Team,’ it appears social media are teaming up, yet again, against the Aussie emcee.

This time the ‘Beg For It’ beauty may have asked for the trouble when she clapped back at her nemesis, Nicki Minaj, for that infamous BET Awards ‘ghostwriters’ diss:

Just like old habits, it seems old feuds ‘die hard.’

For, in just a matter of months, a nearly 20 year feud between top-selling divas Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey has reignited and seen the two labeled as fierce rivals yet again.

Indeed, after J.Lo recently offered (what some considered) a shady rundown of the catalyst of the feud, Carey chimed in to remind fans she still ‘doesn’t know her.’  

Now, fast forward a few weeks, Jenny from the Block is back on the defense reminding fans that she has no beef with the ‘Obsessed’ singer after Lambs e-attacked her over a shady tweet-gone-viral.

She has gifted ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ viewers with seasons of laughs (and laughed all the way to the bank in the process), but now, after tackling TV, Broadway, and more, Nene Leakes is ready to bring those giggles to the comedy stage.

In a format similar to the stand-up/sit-down trek of her nemesis Wendy Williams, Leakes sent fans into a frenzy moments ago when she announced the ‘So Rude and So Nasty’ tour.

As if L.A. Laker Nick Young isn’t already drumming up enough buzz for all the wrong reasons with recent sexual harrassment accusations (as reported here), he’s set to see the fire around his name burn from spark to full on blaze.

Now, the basketball star – better known as the fiance of Grammy-nominated ‘Team’ rapstress Iggy Azalea – may have a Judas on his team in the form of rookie baller D’Angelo Russell. 

All thanks to Russell, there is phone-filmed footage circulating the net where Young allegedly admits to cheating on Azalea with a 19-year-old.  In fact, the 19-year-old – who shall remain nameless at this time – is willing and ready to sell the juicy details of her story to the highest bidder!
