All roads lead to this Friday for H.E.R., whose debut album ‘Back of my Mind’ will finally be unleashed.

Bucking the established trends attached to launching a new act, the immensely gifted star (who had been signed and honing her talent since her teens) built her buzz by way of EPs.

It proved a wise approach because it netted her multiple GRAMMYs, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar. All before her full-length project arrived.

With so much success already tallied, excitement is sky-high for her incoming musical chapter.

Sevyn Streeter turns up the heat in the steamy video for her new single ‘Guilty’ featuring Chris Brown and A$AP Ferg.

Sage the Gemini and Chris Brown have teamed up for their new song ‘Baby.’

After the song was previously teased on social media, it has finally seen the light of day. Produced by The Superiors, the melodic song makes no apologies for Gemini’s and Brown’s player ways.

Chris Brown may move at the speed of light when blazing the stage, but his latest hit is proving a textbook case of “slow and steady wins the race.”

Because, almost eight months after first cracking the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, ‘Go Crazy’ – the star’s collaborative bop with Young Thug – has reached a new peak on the coveted count.

While fans didn’t exactly go crazy for the lead single from Chris Brown & Young Thug‘s joint ‘Slime & B’ mixtape upon its May 5, 2020 release, it wasn’t long before the slow-burning tune began scorching the upper half of the Hot 100.

By July of the year, the song had become Brown’s 16th career top 10 (as we reported here) – a positioning it maintained off-and-on over the course of the months to follow.

Now, 35 weeks after its premiere, ‘Crazy’ has cracked the top 5 – a radio-fueled accomplishment that’s been accompanied by a spot in Hot 100 history books.
