Soul-filled songbird Chrisette Michele kicks off her ‘Better’ album campaign with the video for the project’s lead single ‘A Couple Of Forevers’.

Unwrapped moments ago, the romantic clip was shot by noted photographer Derek Blanks – which goes some way to explain the video’s lush visuals.

With the April 30th release of ‘Better’ inching nearer, this should serve as a tasty appetizer for the set which features Wale, Musiq Soulchild, and 2 Chainz.

Love her or hate, Lil Kim‘s impact on Rap’s elevation to mainstream status is undeniable. However, unlike her heir apparent Nicki Minaj, the pint sized icon found it hard to function as a productive businesswoman without Diddy’s guidance- watching her once lucrative brand regress when it should have moved forward.

Now, in marking yet another legal woe for Kim, she has reportedly filed a lawsuit against her own lawyer this week- one year after it emerged she owed a total of 1 million dollars to the US Government after failing to pay her taxes for over a decade.

As far as her mid tempos go, Rihanna rarely disappoints when it comes to performing live.

However, when the contralto is forced to deliver live renditions of her upbeat cuts, it’s safe to say the standard is 50 shades of nay.

Pancake flat and occasionally coarse, it’s a wonder the good people of Buffalo decided to put themselves through this torture when they purchased tickets to her ‘Diamonds World Tour’, launched in fresh aid of her #1 album ‘Unapologetic’.

With 2,348,000 units worldwide in the space of four months, it’s safe to say Bruno Mars stands as one of Pop’s strongest commercial contributors.

However, if you’re one of the few that doesn’t own the album, we’d say it’s high time you got into bed with one its sweetest jams, ‘Treasure‘ produced by ‘The Smeezingtons’.

While it could have benefitted with a set of euphoric belts in its final hook, it’s easily our favorite song on the album, now available to purchase here!

Let’s not lie to ourselves…all of us are anticipating the release of Ashanti‘s new album ‘BraveHeart‘.

While we’re hoping she inks a record deal to give it the push her talent deserves, it’s clear to see the star is determined to head the independent route and now- before it arrives on R&B’s shores- she sat down to discuss the project and her role on ‘Lifetime’s ‘Army Wives‘.

It’s finally here!

After announcing its arrival last year, Pop bully Rihanna launched her ‘Diamonds World Tour’ at the First Niagra Center in Buffalo last night, performing a collection of her greatest hits to the general public.

Of course, faced with the fact that the many dates across the globe are yet to have sold out, the singer put her best foot forward alongside a crew of well rehearsed dancers and what might be her strongest stage design yet.

It’s been a difficult week for Pop pin-up Justin Bieber.

Ripped to shreds by the British press after turning up two hours late to his London O2 Arena show on Tuesday, the 19 year old was yesterday taken to hospital after becoming short of breath mid-way through another UK concert. And unfortunately for the purveyor of Bieber Fever, things would only get worse today.

For, while leaving his London hotel, the ‘Baby’ singer would engage in a foul-mouth clash with a photographer.

Watch how the drama went down after the jump…

Since blazing into the mainstream with ‘212’, Azealia Banks has ensured her name is hot on the lips of many. Indeed, a potent potion of beef, virals, and visuals have made the New Yorker a staple in the minds of the masses.

Now, it seems, the budding star is ready to show and prove with new single ‘Yung Rapunxel’. Due out on March 26th, the Lil Internet produced cut is the “first” to be lifted from Banks’ hotly anticipated album debut ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’. So what better way to get folk talking than with a super out-there single cover.

Seemingly paying homage to her outspoken M.O, the edgy shot sees the femcee’s eyes replaced with her mouth. Cue the “illuminati” chants in, 3, 2…

She’s the Rap icon with a legacy with rooted in the core of Hip Hop itself. However, despite her long list of successes scored between ’96 and the early noughties,

Lil Kim has seen her brand overshadowed by reports surrounding her aesthetic. More specifically, reports that suggest she has dabbled in cosmetic surgery.

Now, after the above picture of her leaving a promotional appearance two days ago was sent to media outlets across the globe, she has hit out at them with claims that the image has been ‘photo shopped’ to damage her brand.
