I absolutely love this collabo from Janelle Monae and Big Boi. This is the video for “Tightrope” and I am so feeling Ms. Monae’s energy – the song makes you want to get up and dance! Can’t wait until her album drops, I know it will be a dope project.
Check out Erykah Badu’s 106 and Park interview where she discusses her latest video Window Seat, Groupthink, and her new album.

Just in case you missed it, Diggy went on 106 and Park yesterday evening and discussed his new mixtape in addition to his newly signed deal with Atlantic Records. Quite a handsome lil fellow isn’t he?
I love this new track from Ciara featuring and produced by The Dream. “Speechless” is a track that will probably be on Ciara’s upcoming album that she is currently working on. Check it out and let us know what you think.
If this doesn’t wake you up this morning, you might need to check your pulse. Trey Songz is looking rather sexy on the cover of VIBE April/May issue. This issue is a double cover, so Jeezy will also share the issue with Trey. Ladies, let us know what you think.
Not impressed with the video but I am in love with the song. Usher drops another video, the day of his album release for “OMG” ft. Will.i.am.
Check out these behind the scenes interviews from a few of the artists that participated in Adidas Originals commercials including Ciara, Chester French, and Snoop Dogg. These interviews are pretty dope and you are able to learn a lot about the artists.
Shout out to Fader TV for conducting a dope interview with Erykah Badu where she discusses her dreams, new album and former Fader Magazine cover.
If you are in the LA area, this is an event that you will not want to miss!
To promote his new album that comes out today, Usher performed his single, “Daddy’s Home” on Letterman last night. He didn’t hit some of the notes I was expecting, but still a great performance. Check it out and let us know what you think.
This week’s throwback is from Faith Evans from her album, The First Lady. “Again” was the first single from that album, where she opens up about the trials she went through on her hiatus from the music scene. “The First Lady” was my favorite album from Faith to date.
I’m pretty sure after a few more listens this song will grow on me. TI is the guest feature on this “Dirty Money” track along with Diddy who had to make his appearance. Check it out and let us know what you think.
Here is a preview to Janelle Monae’s single with Big Boi “Tightrope”. I love the feeling of this song and the lyrics are so meaningful.
