‘Tuck yourself in, you better hold onto your teddy…it’s ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and guess who’s playing Freddy!’

In the event you haven’t noticed, let us be the ones to tell you that is today is Halloween!

You already knew? Well, that gives you one thing in common with Pop chart topper Miley Cyrus who decided to impersonate one of Rap’s more influential icons in its honour. An icon, who goes by the name of Lil Kim.

Indeed, while Nicki Minaj’s arrival and subsequent winning streak has no doubt proved to be a living nightmare for the ‘Crush On You’ belle, that hasn’t stopped her ‘better years’ being celebrated by the controversial Cyrus, who paid homage to her infamous appearance at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.

How it turned out?

Paging Olivia Pope & Associates!  You are needed for clean-up on aisle 3!

In a time where gospel music permeates mainstream in more ways than ever (see: reality shows, Urban/pop music stylings, secular collabos), what has unfortunately come with some of those breakthroughs are headline-grabbing breakdowns.

Indeed, just weeks after the controversial, hit Oxygen reality series ‘Preachers of L.A.’ rocked television, the show’s star Deitrick Haddon was embroiled in a scandal that saw alleged nude photos of the ‘Have Your Way’ hitmaker hit the net in a big way.

Now, thanks in part to R&B songstress Lil Mo’, gospel star Kevin Terry has set the net ablaze with a viral video of him rocking the mic  with no stage in sight.  The video and accompanying story already had moderate traction, but after the ‘Superwoman’ songstress tweeted about the incident to save her friend, that traction went from buzz to boil…

‘A silent storm’.

Whichever way you look at it, the best would be the most accurate way to describe ‘Family Portrait’ entertainer Pink, and her ‘habit’ of moving major numbers without the media frenzy acts who hope to move those numbers often whip up for themselves.

For, while many a ‘stan’ finds themselves focusing on the Katy Perry vs Lady GaGa chart war that now ensues, the general public has pushed sales of Pink‘s new album ‘The Truth About Love’ to heights many are simply unaware of.

With the Holidays nigh, Leona Lewis is spreading festive cheer with new single ‘One More Sleep’.

Lifted from upcoming LP ‘Christmas, With Love’, the track’s accompanying artwork was revealed moments ago.

As Lewis’ first internationally-released project since sophomore album ‘Echo’ in 2009, the festive set will also impact internationally on December 3rd.

Confused by the headline? Worry not, for you’d only be joining many a music lover scratching their heads at it this morning.

For, in news that’ll no doubt shock the general public, it has emerged that the British navy have employed a ‘unique’ tactic to deter Somalian pirates on Africa’s East Coast from attacking their ships.

 Understanding.

The above is what Eminem showcases in his brand new number ‘Headlights‘ today, pulled from his forthcoming ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2′.

Indeed, while the bulk of his career has seen him address his childhood and the role his allegedly negligent mother played in orchestrating its difficult nature, it’s an understanding of the woman he said he once hated the performer comes to in the number….apologising for the pain he believes his lyrics put her through.

Freshly poured from Def Jam’s ever flowing creative pipe comes August Alsina this year, the Hip Hop and R&B heartthrob sailing towards the Billboard Hot 100 aboard the budding smash that is ‘I Luv This‘.

So, it should come as a little surprise that yesterday saw him arrive at Power 105‘s ‘Breakfast Club’ hours ago, hoping to push his brand of baby making music to the show’s loyal audience. An audience, who no doubt would have been charmed, intrigued and impressed by the Southern gentleman and the story behind his rise to fame.

Oh Lil Kim.

An icon she may be, but her career of late tells an altogether different story.

Remember the saying “fool me once, you’re a fool. Fool me twice, I’m a fool”? Well, clearly Kimberly doesn’t. For, after pushing back her ‘Hard Core 2K13’ mixtape from its promised Halloween release today, the femcee is once again gearing up to associate with two dreaded words…Black Friday.

The stirring mid-tempo is the second track to be lifted from the LP, following lead single ‘V.S.O.P’.
