Sailing to new creative ground is the R&B singer/songwriter Elijah Blake.

The purpose of his journey? The creation of his new project KaraJishi which he created with the performer Ben Strick.

Together, the pair team up to release the song ‘Give up the Ghost’ and celebrate the arrival of a creative partnership they hope will push the envelope artistically.

We really want to push the boundaries of what modern pop music can be. We’d like to change the game a little, by combining our two styles and making this music accessible. We’re mixing Elijah’s R&B side with my sort of weird, progressive metal and rock, to make something completely new.

As the world’s highest-selling female rapper much is made of Nicki Minaj‘s ability to compete with a new wave of Hip-Hop starlets hoping to soar in a lane she carved out for herself.

Now, after Cardi B urged fans not to buy into claims that the ladies are feuding, Minaj has received praise from music lovers after a report published by the platform ‘MNR’ (and substantiated by TGJ’s sources with ties to both ladies) revealed that she delayed the new release of new material to support Cardi’s.

Vivica A. Fox may have spent the weekend topping headlines for her reignited beef with ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kenya Moore (who Fox’s branded a ‘toxic trick’), but the week kicked off with her in full promo mode in support of her April 3rd-released book, ‘Everyday I’m Hustling.’

Part self-help/part-memoir, the page-turner courted controversy weeks before its arrival on shelves as previews indicated Fox detailed some of her bedroom activity with former beau, rapper 50 Cent. The latest in the two’s ongoing rivalry, the news led 50 to clap back via Instagram (click here to read that).

Undeterred, this week saw Fox not only continue to openly discuss the content in her book related to 50, but also assure fans the beef between them has actually subsided (despite headlines suggesting otherwise).

It’s been far from plain sailing for the R&B star who has actively been trying to get the project off the ground for almost three years.

In a new interview with CR Fashion Book, she keeps it all sorts of real about the hurdles she encountered and even admitted to – at times – not being in the driving seat of the campaign.

She also seized the moment to clarify last year’s comments on colorism that saw many hit back at her.

Bow Wow made headlines last week when he shared a stream of worrying tweets about his mental well-being.

Perhaps most concerning was his assertions that he felt he wouldn’t survive to see 35.

According to the former teen star, much of his sentiments stemmed from the “hate” he receives from others.

In a dramatic twist though, the rapper – real name Shad Moss – has announced his new album and it’s title pulls from the situation.
