We all got love for Beyonce right? RIGHT! Well, Drake has too apparently, and to prove it he's unleashed new track, 'Girls Love Beyonce', onto the web with the help of James Fauntleroy, with whom he sings the chorus of Desinty's Child's 'Say My Name' in this number. The track itself is what we've come to know and love Drake for: a spacey slow-jam wrapped around an uneasy beat and reflective vocals. Perfect after dark vibes. Best of all, the thing is available to download too.

So, Backstreet Boys are out of the picture and NKOTB need some backing to sell the tickets. So, in comes Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees. Let's see how this goes. For us, we'd go just for BIIM but we've seen them as a threesome and we didn't like it much - they were opening for Christina Aguilera of all people!  Related articles Justin Bieber Embraces Holiday Spirit With Boyz II Men (1015jamz.cbslocal.com) Justin Bieber Embraces Holiday Spirit With [...]

A$AP Rocky is not perfect but he's constantly pushing himself. When his debut mix-tape  LiveLoveA$AP dropped in 2011, it was easy to write off Rocky as a one-dimensional lyricist who used a basic formula encapsulated by drunken and drugged-up swag rap, over lush, experimental production credited largely to Clams Casino . Though he mildly pushed the boundaries of his genre, the mix-tape proved unforgettable due to Rocky 's sub-par lyrical and rapping ability. After a six month delay, A$AP   Rocky returns with a [...]

"Without a doubt one of the most influential hip hop records of the year..." Kendrick Lamar  |  Good Kid, M.A.A.D City Being flaunted by the media as the new face of West Coast Hip Hop is a lot of pressure for an underground artist, and Kendrick Lamar could of easily crumbled like the overhyped rappers that have come before him. As the buzz around the Compton native skyrocketed with every EP release, and news of collaborations hit the web (big names like Drake, Jay Rock and Dr. Dre) there was a lot riding on [...]

Rita Ora - Ora By Milen Jonas Lets be honest, there aren’t many fierce female British singers around at the moment. Although the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and most recently Adele put the UK firmly on the map with their stellar success, Rita Ora has a voice with a red hot image to match. So much so that media across the world can’t help but compare her to her Roc Nation label mate and international pop superstar Rihanna. [...]

The headline of Rozay’s latest album reads: “The Untouchable Maybach Music Empire Presents,” which indicates a lofty statement that exemplifies the fictitious wealth of Rick Ross as a character and is the first instance of self-aggrandizing labels that hold no weight in reality.  Ross has managed to lodge himself firmly in the rap game by assuming the role of a super-wealthy, Miami-based drug lord based on his own fictitious origin story.  He’s somehow managed to get in good with the entire Young Money family, constantly found alongside [...]

From the start of “Thinkin’ Bout You” it becomes clear that Frank Ocean is going to re-establish the gooey, soulful vocal runs and stratospheric falsettos of R&B past, saving the genre from becoming rampant with infinitesimal, effects-heavy hook-providers for hip-hop.  Throughout Channel Orange , Frank Ocean reclaims what it means to love hopelessly and reflects on the pitfalls of doomed relationships because he doesn’t do relationships on any terms but his own.  After Ocean bravely posted a note publicly coming out online, his [...]

Atmospheric beat producer RAJA took to his SoundCloud a few days to put up a new remix compilation, aptly titled Remixes . Throughout the release's ten tracks, the beat maker reworks verses from the likes of Kanye, Nas, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, to name a few, in a fashion often reminiscent of the syrupy chopped and screwed technique. I'm also catching hints of Flying Lotus on "TV Breath," while "Outer [♥ Grimes Interlude]" is something for the Burial fans. Stream the remixes above, and head over to RAJA's SoundCloud [...]

Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded By Joe Bates We're probably still a couple of years away from judging the objective value of songs by their Youtube likes/dislike ratio, but for discussing the new Nicki Minaj album Pink Friday 2: Roman Reloaded , let's pretend we've reached that point. This  is the lead single from the album. 43 million views is about right for someone of her reputation and stature, but unusually, the video generates over double the amount of 'dislikes' as 'likes'. You can [...]

It is kind of late for this video treatment to surface. This sound has already made it into the hearts of many fans and it should have been released before the album dropped. It's a cute video though. Filed under: Beats , Clip Tagged: album , Betta , drake , new , rihanna , single

Hip-hop spectacle and schizophrenic MC Nicki Minaj adds another chapter to her Pink Friday collection with "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" , which suggested a heavy focus on Roman, one of her many alter-egos.  Even though she doesn’t seem to have learned any new tricks, Nicki Minaj fans will rejoice at the prospect of new material from the newly appointed hip-hop queen. From the first notes of “Roman Holiday,” Minaj sounds at odds with the sort of music she’s attempting to sing.  Her comically faux-British accent only emphasizes her [...]

Tweet Abel Tesfaye, the voice behind Toronto-based The Weeknd , has had quite the year.  In March, he released "House of Balloons", a dark collection of songs that emphasized his strengths as a prolific, melody-building crooner.  Tesfaye oddly stayed out of the direct spotlight, which raised the anticipation from his fans for new material, that came in the form of another mixtape entitled "Thursday".  After the two mixtapes, and appearing on Drake’s "Take Care" multiple times, Tesfaye dropped his final mixtape [...]

• The Weeknd - Echoes Of Silence

As blogosphere music geeks, we are all, myself included, prone to fits of indie snobbery. It’s just the way it goes, but sometimes said snobbery ensures that we’ll miss some pretty great records oftentimes based on an artist’s name alone. In the same way a film snob might dismiss a movie as awesome as, say, Point Break (dating myself much?), one of us indie snobs may turn our nose at the mere thought of listening to a new record by Stevie Nicks [...]
