Listen to "It All Belongs To Me" produced and written by Rico Love the long waited Brandy and Monica reunion track. The mid-tempo ballad will appear on Monica's 'New Life' album and Brandy's upcoming LP this spring. Not bad but not as powerful as I expected. I could hear Fantasia singing something like this but even Brandy's alto doesn't quite seal the deal. "This business is all about competition," she said. "They forgot about what is the most important, which is [...]

Amber Rose wants you to know that she doesn't need her man's checks to live lavishly. Private jets and shopping sprees are a wiz breeze for her because she's worth millions. The reason Amber Rose was such a head turner when she came on the scene with Kanye was because she seemed like such a bad ass. So for me this Kid Sister flow is not really jiving with her cool persona. It's a fun song, the beat is bananas and will definitely go hard in the club but anyone could have performed [...]

Big tune with good timing for M.I.A . Car stunts, dance routines and a well-planned marketing strategy is a great way to come back out on top. This video was released yesterday as was the Madonna track she is featured on. Tomorrow she performs "Give Me All Your Luvin" along side Madge and Nicki Minaj at the Superbowl. Bad girls do it well.

Even if Prince met Freddie Jackson for a vocal rendevous in Quincy Jones' secret garden they couldn't have envisaged Miguel's exquisite merger of sensuality, longing and pitch in "Adorn" . What with radio blatantly ignoring R&B or categorizing love songs as "Neo-Soul", Miguel has consistently hurdled the obstacles that oversexualized pop songs have created. Premiering on OKP yesterday off of a 3-song EP 'Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 1.' , due to be released on February 27th, 2012, Miguel describes his latest video [...]

The soulful sounds of the saxophone set the tone for a smooth, uplifting new song from Big K.R.I.T . "Its about over coming all the obstacles that block your dreams, the sacrifices that come with how hard you have to go to obtain your goal, giving your all no matter what the situation, the only difference between a winner N a loser is a winner plays until he wins. " From his mixtape ' #4evaNaDay' which is due out on February 20th.

Yes this video and song was definitely worth the wait. It's very 802s Madonna and the last thing I expected was to see M.I.A. in a cheerleading uniform. Or Madonna breastfeeding for that matter. Now I'm excited to see the Superbowl performance. Atlanta where the party at? 'MDNA' on March 26th

Atlantic Records signee Brianna Perry turns her diva on for her latest girls anthem video release. The 20 year old has been on her grind working with the likes of Missy, A$AP Rocky, Trina and Wale. "My music is distinctive and matchless. I have my own lane and I'm going full throttle,"

With all the talk of M.I.A.' s big Superbowl performance with Madonna and Nicki Minaj I almost missed this new track she released exclusively to Pitchfork . Produced by Danjahands it's an updated version of the track from the 'Vicki Leekx' mixtape that she released in 2010. It's very pop...meaning very nonsensical and repetitive.

Tumblr release from Frank Ocean. Short but sweet as a Juicy Fruit.

Lance Gross received his wish when he discussed having a crash on Kelly Rowland. Not only has he met her but she cast him as her love interest in this video for "Keep It Between Us" . The pair traveled to Paris to shoot the video for the song which is about her promising to never give her love away and telling her lover to do the same. A couple weeks back there were some photos of the behind the scenes action between Kelly and Lance and they looked like they [...]

Barry Weiss, Ne-Yo and Ethiopia Habtemariam In a move that will help to cement the goal of bringing back R&B, platinum selling singer/songwriter Ne-Yo has been announced as Senior Vice President of A&R at Motown Records . "We are committed to discovering, developing and nurturing R&B/soul superstars here at Motown," says Habetemariam in the co-announcement with Weiss. "In Ne-Yo we have both a global superstar and arguably one of the best songwriters in music. His presence on the executive team only strengthens our commitment [...]

Surprise mixtape stream avaialable for the "Only Wanna Give It To You" singer. Listen below from Elle's Soundcloud. Conversational Lush by OMGElleVarner

Maino released a new track today addressing his breakup with Lil Kim and even states that he still loves her: "Everybody knew I took n*ggas to war for you/all the times you said the industry fake don't let it fool me/The jewels that you dropped on the game you used to school me" "I rolled with you straight to the jail that's how I do/Kites to the joint expressing how much I love you/Still a queen even in greens" [...]

This is one of the stronger tracks from the Odd Future duo Syd the Kid and Matt Martians debut album release 'Purple Naked Ladies' . You may remember hearing reports last week of lesbian rapper Syd the Kyd calling for Alicia Keys and Missy Elliott to come out the closet (Let's not act like you never thought it). Not a bad little media stunt to point eyes toward the first release from the Sony Red distributed Odd Future [...]

The internet has not been kind to Nicki Minaj' s latest Lil Kim diss track. The colorful rapper who calls herself "the female Lil Wayne" released her "Stupid Hoe" video yesterday and already the internet has spoofs and "hated it" reviews. Although the original video clip posted here has 1,218, 021 views at press time, there are significantly more dislikes than likes. From what I could gather, the main issues the Youtubers have with the video is that it disses Jennifer Aniston, she's talking about [...]

I was just wondering the other day where my boo Santigold has been. Well just in time for her performance at Coachella , she releases the oh so eclectic video for "Big Mouth" off her next LP ' Master Of My Make Believe" . The track is produced by Switch and Buraka Som Sistema of Major Lazer . What do you think?

One of the biggest and saddest hip hop beefs has finally come to an end. Shyne the former Bad Boy rapper turned Orthodox Jew tells MTV News that he reached out to Diddy recently to end their 12 year old beef and to hopefully reconnect in Paris. About why he has decided to end the beef now: "As far as me growing and looking forward, like I said, certain things you can't take with you. So I felt how I felt, I said what I said." [...]

It probably doesn't even make sense how excited I am for the feminine competitiveness in hip hop for 2012. It's about time we had a new influx of rappers. Say what you will but the the popular demand for more is heralded by the entrance of Nicki Minaj into the market. "It's R&B but hella progressive," and "it's about being a guy's other girl. It's about knowing that ur number #2, but still sticking around in hopes of becoming #1."

Sultry singer Summer Williams puts her seasonal spin on C.J. Hilton's " Cold Summer" ( produced by Salaam Remi) with her own version, "Cold Winter" .

Atlanta used to be known for it's smooth as a blunt, southern riding music. With the release of Tuki Carter's 'Atlantafornication' LP on February 24th, that sound thats been missing makes a much needed return. Proceed to listen to the Hollyweerdo's track from his solo release below
