Life is good for Drake.

For, after silencing his nemesis Meek Mill with two diss tracks the entertainer has treated himself to a new vehicle.

His whip of choice? The Rolls Royce Wraith.

The rapper’s purchase comes as he continues to build jams for his new album ‘Views From the 6′ and after he learned that his Cash Money boss Birdman had been accused of trying to murder his Young Money executive Lil Wayne.

Rad more on that here.

If today Fifth Harmony and Little Mix are waving the flag for girl bands, 15 years ago the scene was occupied by the likes of Destiny’s Child, TLC and then newcomers 3LW.

This week’s From The Vault selection comes courtesy of the young R&B trio and their 2000 hit ‘No More.’ 3LW – short for  ‘3 Little Women’ – consisted of Kiely Willams, Naturi Naughton and Adrienne Bailon.

Very much their breakout hit, ‘No More’ was produced by Sean ‘Sep’ Hall and penned by Nate Butler and Cameron Giles, and provided the band with their sole top 30 on the Billboard Hot (hitting#23) and UK Top 10.

For the video, the girls turned to Chris Robinson who blessed them with a fresh summery visual, which sees band members Adrienne and Naturi supporting Kiely who just found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Bummer!

Like every solid Pop video at the time, the clip comes armed with energetic choreography and an MTV dance-break.

******************

From our vantage point, the industry could benefit from more girl groups – of every genre. Through the years we’ve seen how impactful females coming together can bet and if the 60’s had The Supremes, the 90’s TLC and the Spice Girls and the 00’s had Destiny’s Child, we are yet to have defining female ensemble for the 10’s. Hopefully it is more a case of “not yet” than “not at all”.

Two years on, the vibrations from Beyonce‘s digital drop continue to be felt across the music industry.

Yet, beyond the surprise project’s game-changing impact, the self-titled LP also signified a marked change in the singer’s approach to the release of her new material.

Put simply, Queen Bey has embraced the element of surprise and has – even with her features – implemented a silence until serving system.

Still, this hasn’t stopped morsels of information from dripping its way onto the ‘net. The latest of which suggests a new Beyonce video is due soon.

The fierce 46-year-old is renown for having her hands in multiple pies – from movies, to TV, to – of course – music.

Yet, it would appear the latter is once again on top of the diva’s to-do list.

It would appear Meek Mill has more to worry about than a public lashing from Drake. For his poorly received clap-back track ‘Wanna Know’ is now under scrutiny from the WWE.

Guess which entertainer shared this bright and bold new look with her fans recently.

Hint: This fashion-forward star is of Caribbean descent and moved to the U.S. after she was discovered by a talent scout in her hometown when she was 16-years-old.

Since then, she’s become one of the more recognisable faces in her field with help from Roc Nation boss Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce who enlisted her to serve as a featured act on her latest studio album.

Still unsure?

Dr. Dre is back.

Though the legendary MC has been omnipresent with his entrepreneurial endeavours, musically he hasn’t released new material in over 13 years.

That’s all set to change next Friday (August 7th), when the Beats mogul blazes back onto the scene with ‘Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre.’ 

More details on the project’s unique concept below…

Ciara and Russell Wilson are officially a power couple.

As reported this week, the R&B chanteuse’s new beau signed a lucrative deal with the Seattle Seahawks which will see him net a colossal $84 million over four years.

And while there’s plenty to celebrate, there’s also ample work to do.

The 26-year-old was snapped doing exactly that at an NFL Training Camp this weekend and was cheered on by his girl and her one year old son Future Zahir (whose biological father is rapper Future).

Little man really does seem to have taken to Russell! Adorable.
