Tyler, The Creator may be working his latest charting-topping album ‘Call Me If You Get Lost,’ but it was talk about the project’s predecessor ‘IGOR’ that sent tongues wagging following a new interview with Hot 97. 

The 2019 set notably launched at #1 upon its arrival and in doing so eclipsed the sales of DJ Khaled’s then-new album ‘Father of Asahd.’

At the time, Khaled responded to the position, saying:

“I make albums so people can play it and you actually hear it. You know, driving your car, you hear another car playing it. You know, go to the barbershop, you hear them playing it. You know, turn the radio on, and you hear them playing it. It’s called great music. It’s called albums that you actually hear the songs. Not no mysterious shit that you never hear it.”

In the frame since, Tyler has touched on the topic at a surface level. However, he clearly had no issue making his feelings known in a detailed manner during his sit-down interview.

Jessie J is speaking up and out after a surprising remark was aimed at her by Nicki Minaj. 

As reported, the femcee made a public objection to a comment J made about the creation of their 2014 smash ‘Bang Bang’ during an interview.

Minaj’s move shocked many, given that the British belter was in actuality praising her and expressing her joy at working with the rap royal on the song – which also featured Ariana Grande.

However, it’s clear Onika felt it imperative to set the record straight as relates to how she landed on the track.

Now, J is weighing in.

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion has made no secret of her support of the LGBTQ+ community over the years, but now she’s taking her allyship even further by using her platform to address the topic of homophobia in Hip Hop.

As her ‘Crybaby’ co-star DaBaby continues to suffer seismic backlash for a recent homophobic rant that slammed people living with HIV and ‘men who suck d*ck in parking lots’ (as we reported here), Stallion’s stepped in to discuss the longstanding subject of gay discrimination in Rap.

Camila Cabello‘s latest single, ‘Don’t Go Yet’ is off to a racing start on the Hot 100 thanks to a handsome mix of first-week streams, digital downloads, and radio airplay (as we reported here).

To keep the momentum going on the tune (which serves as the first single from her third studio album ‘Familia’), Camila is inviting her fans – affectionately called #Camilizers – into the behind the scenes action of its Philippa Price and Pilar Zeta-directed music video.

After watching their Shakira-shared jam ‘Girl Like Me’ rocket to GOLD status at the RIAA, Black Eyed Peas look to cook up a similar feat with their newest number, ‘Hit It.’

Like ‘Girl’ before it, ‘Hit’ sonically contains elements of Hip Hop, EDM, Latin, and Reggaeton while lyrically seeing the BEP frontman, will.i.am, trade verses with a female lead. Unlike ‘Girl,’ ‘Hit’ takes a turn down a raunchier musical avenue – tapping rapstress Saweetie and songstress Lele Pons to assist.

“Bang on the booty like I’m on a drum line / Insane beauty, really love the design / Girl, you really blew my mind, blew my mind / That’s the way I go when I hit it one time,” Will boasts on the hot new track.
