Looks like Akon’s Stadium is no longer in suspended animation, and the below track featuring David Guetta is a fresh offering from the upcoming project (fresh, given the fact that it uses a pretty overused sample).

SpaceGhostPurrp drops off a new visual for his track ‘Bringing Tha Phonk’. Directed by SGP and shot by TeamSESH Bonez and Elliot.
After hitting the stage the night before in New York City, Fabolous and Pusha T made their way down to the DMV. During Fabolous’s set, he brought out his homie Troy Ave to perform their record “Only Life I Know” together. More footage coming soon.
Soulja Boy is definitely keeping his music in the rotation, isn’t he? He just dropped Foreign 2, and now we see that his next project — King Soulja — is dropping May 5th.
“I’ve got 99 problems and now Jay-Z’s one”
Entrance music from DJ Khaled (I’m sure T-Pain is hype). If you’re interested, you can enjoy the full Correspondents’ Dinner here.
Bonus: Conan O’Brien (the headliner) is below.
Joey Bada$$ and the Pro Era crew came through KUBE 93’s Sunday Night Sound Session on 3/24/13 to speak with DJ Hyphen and J. Moore. The fellas discussed their background and how they originally came together, how they were put on to golden age hip-hop by their families, their ambitions outside of hip-hop, and what life is like on tour with the whole crew. They also touched on their upcoming projects, including solos from Joey Bada$$ and CJ Fly, and discussed how artists like Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, and the TDE camp are inspiring them as artists and businessmen.
Some pics from Beyonce’s world tour have surfaced for the non-concert-goers to check out….I give it by Monday before we see and hear the illuminati accusations. Anyways, you can check out the ultra-stylish pics below.

As reported by Wet Paint:
One of the more highly-anticipated songs on the soundtrack is Andre 3000 and Beyoncé’s cover of Amy Winehouse’s hit Back to Black.
Today, DJ/producer Mark Ronson — who co-wrote the origninal song — premiered the track on his East Village Radio show, which you can hear below.
This remake has not been warmly received by all, though. The Huffington Post reported that earlier this week, Amy’s father Mitch told The Daily Mail that the new version “doesn’t bring anything” to his daughter’s song.
Now that the song is online, Mitch took to Twitter to react:
I just heard the Andre part of Back to Black. Terrible. He should have let Beyonce do it all. Mitch

Back when just a snippet of the song had been released, showcasing Beyoncé’s part, Mitch tweeted: “I like Beyonces cover and have no probs.”
Recently we’ve caught wind of up and coming artist Nominee, an artist hailing from Ohio (now living and making moves in California). A well-rounded artist (in his words, “Justin Timberlake and Drake meet John Mayer’), he was signed to Starrunner Records and is pretty much hitting the ground running, so to speak.
Above, you can check out his self-directed visual for ‘Take It Off’.
Below, we have a clip where Nominee breaks down more of who he is as an artist, his influences, what you can expect from the rising star and more. In addition, we’ve included a few tracks for you to enjoy.
Long and short, Nominee aims to change the perception of what the masses think Pop music is, and we definitely look forward to hearing more from Nominee in the near future.
‘Watch Me Go’
‘My Girlfriend’
‘Work’

Apparently, Luke James had some kind of “accident” during rehearsal, which affected his performance somehow. Obviously we weren’t there, but it looks like the guy still kicked ass to me. Check out the next Great R&B Hype above.
Loso & Pusha Ton stopped through the legendary B.B. Kings for the New York stop of their Life Is So Exciting tour. They’ll be in D.C. tonight.
For at least one night, Lil’ Kim was back in effect as the Queen Bee, throwing a greatest hits concert of sorts at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC this past Friday. Definitely the type of shit we want to see over here. Check out more clips below.
Chevy Woods should probably be straying away from teasers, snippets and anything that makes us have to wait for more.
This dude’s got some creative artwork and visuals. Acid Rap arrives April 30th.

I would imagine that we’ll be seeing footage from The Mrs. Carter Show flooding the internet until the tour ends. Above, Beyonce rocks out to a track from 4 in Croatia.
It’s about that time! Wale begin the promo run for his upcoming album The Gifted. I always love Wale’s promo for his albums, and MMG has the best Vlogs in the industry.
Not only is the magazine that Quincy Jones built now a part of Spin Media, but all signs point to VIBE’s imminent end as a print publication….from New York Times:
SpinMedia announced the sale on Thursday, saying that it had bought the rights to Vibe’s print magazine and its related sites, Vibe.com and Vibevixen.com, from Vibe Media. The price was not disclosed.
The sale reunites the two publications, which more than a decade ago were part of the same company, Vibe/Spin Ventures, before each went through a series of sales.
Calling Vibe “an industry leader in the urban and hip-hop category for decades,” Steve Hansen, SpinMedia’s chief executive, added in an interview: “It’s really exciting to add this to SpinMedia’s collection of music properties and bring more digital DNA to the team and see what they can do.”
SpinMedia, until recently known as Buzz Media, owns or represents more than 40 sites, like Celebuzz, Idolator and JustJared, that cater to young pop-culture fans and compete with a range of sites like Gawker, TMZ, Pitchfork and BuzzFeed.
After it bought Spin last summer, Buzz Media promptly shut down the print magazine and laid off a third of its staff. It said it would concentrate on the Web site and consider eventually reviving the print version of Spin in some form.
Since then, Spin’s online traffic has doubled, but Mr. Hansen said that the company was no closer to reviving the magazine and that it planned to shut down Vibe’s print magazine later this year.
“We are still trying to find a print model that makes economic sense in the digital age,” he said.
