We posted the original version of this a while ago, but Tiara Thomas drops off the solo version of her hit record with Wale. Some may not know, but she wrote and produced the song herself….also, word on the street is that she is signed to Division 1 under Rico Love’s imprint.
A$AP Ant just returned from his tour in Japan with A$AP Nast, and in our latest Inside The BOX., we sit down with Ant to speak on how he linked with the ASAP Mob, the ‘Coke N White Bitches’ remix and more. You can read the full interview over the next few pages below.

Below, Wale previews his remix to ‘Bad’ with Rihanna, who has replaced Tiara Thomas on the remix along with a new beat. This first played on Sway In The Morning.
Kanye West has updated his KanyeWest.com website with a teaser for his new song titled ‘Bound’. Listen to a preview of the track below. Kanye also (possibly) reveals his official artwork for his upcoming album.
In the fourth installment of J. Cole’s web series, former Cowboys WR (now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) Kevin “KO” Ogletree shares his beginnings in Queens and his journey to the NFL.
From TMZ:
Jermaine Dupri is in jeopardy of losing his rights to the music from his So So Def label … because he can’t seem to pay off an enormous loan.
Dupri borrowed $4.8 mil from SunTrust Bank back in 2010 …. he paid more than half of it back, but then the bank stopped getting payments. So SunTrust is now suing Dupri for nearly $2 mil — the balance due, plus interest.
Here’s the BIG problem … In order to get the loan, Dupri had put up collateral, in the form of copyrights and royalties to the many songs his label owns from artists like Xscape, Bow Wow and Da Brat.
As far as we can see, Dupri still hasn’t anted up the cash. And it’s not his only trouble with $$$. He paid off a $3 MILLION tax lien in February and dodged the foreclosure of his Atlanta mansion TWICE in the past year.
Rihanna takes to her Instagram and seemingly takes a shot at Beyonce: word on the street is, since the start of the sold out Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, most of the tickets were actually collecting on third party ticket broker websites.

P-wild links with a new female rap emcee named London Dior for a new record, and let me say: this girl is a FUCKIN problem. Fire dat dope up and listen to this new joint.
LA indie band Capital Cities grabs Andre 300 for another song, the first one to be released after the death of the latter’s mother.
First off, I can’t help but notice that Angela Simmons is co-hosting the show with her ex (is this new? I don’t watch much 106 nowadays)…..moving forward, Kelly & Terius took a break from their tour to promote IV Play, which is currently on pace to never receive a plaque ever. He did recieve one for 50 million albums sold for other artists, and along with some big time support, tears were flowing. Check out the clips above and below.

In interesting take on an artist’s performance, courtesy of Diddy’s Revolt TV:
“The Tunnel” an intimate look into what it feels like for an artist walking on stage before a performance.
Today’s Friday, isn’t it? Not a bad way to get the weekend started.
Gucci Mane sits down with Fader and he revealed that he and Marilyn Manson recently recorded a song together entitled “Fancy Bitch”:
“We made it whenever ‘Spring Breakers’ came out in Cali. He came to the sneak premiere, and after we did the red carpet and watched the movie, me and him went to the studio and made us a record.”
No word on where this track will end up, though Gucci Mane did take to his Twitter earlier today to announce a new album, Mr. Guwop, slated for release this Fall. Trap House 3 is currently available on iTunes.

You may remember us reporting the story on this a few months back (if not, read the story here). Now, Kerry’s ex lover returns with a video featuring him and Mr. Rhodes in bed.
Game over Kerry…I’m sure gay pride weekend will welcome you with open arms.
The Dream celebrated the release of his album at NYC’s The Greenhouse last night, hosted by DJ Whoo Kid. If you weren’t in the house — MMG was among the attendees — here’s a recap of the event.
While in NY this morning, Wale visited Hot 97…while there, he spoke on releasing The Gifted a week after Kanye, J. Cole and Mac Miller, the artwork, Twitter and this weekend’s Summer Jam.
In addition, Ebro and Co. got Wale to divulge a bit of personal feeling over what was an apparent loss of one of his artists, Tiara Thomas:
I was a casualty of the game. The bitter reality just hit me. It’s all good. Shout out to Tiara Thomas…shout out to Tiara Thomas. She’s a dope artist. She’s an incredible artist. Bad is an incredible record, she wrote it.
Their situation met through [me] I was recording with the situation she’s in now and they met. It’s just the game though. My thing is I don’t really believe in paperwork too soon cause I like to show and prove what I can do. And I ain’t want to scare nobody. Like yo ‘let’s make the music, let’s vibe.’ You live and learn so that’s why I’ll kick myself before I complain about somebody else. It’s the music business! Like a lot of people ain’t ya friend-friend for real sometimes. She got her situation and she’s happy. I learned. I have a big heart. I give give give, I take producers off the street back home and I say, ‘come on, roll with me and we gon get this money. I’m gonna find you a niche’. I do that.
She did what she had to do and what was in her best interest. And I guess that’s what all people do. So shout out to her and her situation.
She’s talented. She’s dope. If you want to support her, you just support her. I’m not going to throw no shade to her or whatever. I learned and she’ll have a great career.
Gunplay performs his latest, the absolutely dope ‘Bible On The Dash‘, during his performance at the Double Door in Chicago.
In addition to bringing on the tears, Kelly Rowland performed a very dope rendition of the Destiny Child’s ‘Soldier’ above.
Above, Beyonce performs “I Will Always Love You” and “Halo” at the O2 World Berlin on the Mrs. Carter World Tour.
I don’t normally pay that much attention to rumors, but the combination of J. Cudder and our new devotion to checking out KanyeToThe.com for updates has me on edge about this Yeezus album, and now I see this in AllHipHop’s Rumors section:
Word on the streets is that Kanye is actually making an attempt at re-recording Yeezus because of the lukewarm reception to the first songs? I’m not sure. I have not really heard those songs. As far as I know they aren’t on iTunes and have not been sent around. But, I think the second rumor is more feasible. And, that rumor says that Yeezy is adding some additional songs that are more commercially viable. Everything can’t be dark and gloomy songs about slaves and black skinheads. Insiders say that Kanye isn’t scared or anything. He’s just doing what he does to create the best product possible.
Remember folks: this is just a rumor that I simply wanted to bring to anyone’s attention that missed it.
