As we've tried to express quite a few times already, Stacy Barthe one of R&B's endlessly talented underdogs, consistently writing great songs for herself and so many others. "Hell Yea," with Rick Ross, is Barthe ... read more

Alex Nazari shot the new video for Cassie's cheerfully drowsy "Numb," a track from her upcoming RockaByeBaby mixtape, out next week and said to feature Jeremih, Too Short, French Montana, Pusha-T, Ester Dean and Fabolous, ... read more

The one and only John Legend just released a new original track with none other than MMG front man Rick Ross . With a classic sample from Jean Knight's Mr. Big Stuff, Who Do We Think We Are is a classic R&B track with some low tempo Ross raps that are not only complimentary but bring the track to the next level. Check out both Who Do We Think We Are & Mr. Big Stuff below and stay tuned for more from Mr. Legend and his upcoming album " Love in the Future [...]
Making news today unrelated to music, Rihanna's tour buses were stopped at the border of Detroit and Canada, where a little reefer was found on [...]

Rihanna taps Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Juicy J and T.I. for the remix to her infectious club banger, "Pour it Up." Was hoping Mike Will would tweak the beat up a little bit (You know, how they used to do in the '90s), but nope, no such luck. Same track, new voices (Except for Juicy J since he's basically already rapped on this beat before ). Interesting that Jeezy and Ross both appear on this, with back-to-back verses even. But hey, money is money. I think this is a pretty lack [...]
Mariah Carey plays ring girl in the boxing-themed video for her new single "Triumphant (Get Em)." The clip, directed by Carey's husband Nick Cannon, features Meek Mill going 12 rounds for a K.O. while Rick ... read more

Mariah Carey doesn't just play hypeman on the audio version of her new single, she does it in the video too. Doubling as a ring girl and Rozay's arm candy, the singer sits back and watches as Meek Mill battles it out in the ring. "Triumphant" was directed by Mariah's husband, Nick Cannon, and is the first single off her as yet untitled new album due out some time next year. Check out the video below. Mariah could've should've kept this video. As usual, she does [...]

Mariah Carey jumps back on the scene with her new single, "Triumphant," which features MMG lieutenant and boss, Meek Mill and Rick Ross. This one was produced by the duo of Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael-Cox and definitely sounds like a winner. Mariah Carey - "Triumphant" (Get 'Em) ft. Meek Mill & Rick Ross I love the way JD says "Turn up" at the beginning of the song— hilarious. Anyway, what do you guys think of Mimi's new [...]
The Los Angeles installment of vitaminwater's 2012 uncapped series jumped off in a major way, headlined by FADER favorites Zola Jesus, The-Dream and Rick Ross, along with a special surprise appearance from Ross's newest signee, ... read more
Usher isn't letting the promo train for his new album stop yet. After putting on an electrifying show for Amex UNSTAGED , we now have the visuals for his most recent singles. Check out the videos for "Scream" and "Lemme See" below: Scream Lemme See ft. Rick Ross [...]
Preview: This story will appear in FADER #80, on stands soon. Usher's seventh LP, Looking 4 Myself, is out today on RCA. We'll announce FADER #802s covers next week. After more than a decade of ... read more
Last Thursday, vitaminwater and FADER kicked off 20122s uncapped concert series in LA with surprise performances from Rick Ross, The-Dream and Zola Jesus. Unexpected guest Omarion, a new, Cali-based MMG signee, popped up during Ross' ... read more
OK, I officially admit it—Rick Ross has the Midas touch. When I first heard that Omarion was signing to Maybach Music, I marked it down as a misstep (One of the few) by Ross. Judging by this video, however, I was wrong—way wrong. "Let's Talk" is an infectious upbeat record that features vocal samples from Biggie's second verse off of " Big Poppa " and an interpolation of Salt-N-Peppa's " Let's Talk About Sex " on the hook. Besides the song being extremely catchy, I was surprised to see how natural and unforced the video seemed. [...]
It's always refreshing when the big man sounds happy. Rick Ross is in love, his new favorite collaborator Usher is in love (per usual), and Rico Love produces one of the more directly R&B singles ... read more

Is it just as annoying to everyone else that Usher would follow up something as sonically rich and forward-thinking as his amazing Diplo-produced Looking 4 Myself jump-off "Climax" with something as woefully ho-hum (though, we'll admit, mildly catchy) as the "been-there-done-that" dance-pop trifle "Scream" , and that it'll likely end up being the bigger, hard-to-avoid mainstream hit this summer? Triple sigh. At least we have the countless "Climax" remixes currently bubbling about to keep us sane, like this dope re-work from London's master knob-twiddler [...]
Never mind the chicken wraps, Mary J. Blige is back to styling with the video for the Rick Ross-featuring "Why?". While it taps into her best-friend-you-can-share-sorr ow-with ways, it's ebullient too, suited for Rozay grunting and ... read more
Shortly after releasing the club-ready track, " Scream ," Usher unleashes the urban follow-up off of his upcoming Looking For Myself album. A seductive number that sees Usher calling a lady on her bluff, "Let Me See" also features Rozay contributing a verse. How does this track stack up against his previous singles? Listen to Usher's new offering below: Usher - Let Me See feat. Rick Ross "Let Me See" is a decent track. It doesn't eclipse the greatness that [...]

Usher has got himself another hit with this Rick Ross assisted single. The over tone in the beat reminds me of the one used in "I'm On One". Maybe same producer? Looking for Myself will drop June 12.
