A day after releasing her highly anticipated new album, former Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland has released a bonus track for fans around the world to enjoy.

Assisted with some added vocals courtesy of Pharrell Williams, “Feet To The Fire” is the kind of upbeat pop track that only Rowland can deliver. It’s as catchy as anything on radio, but production wise exists in a whole different realm, and very few people work as well with the kind of instrumentation presented on this track as Rowland. It may not be a hit, but it’s definitely bound to be one of your favorite tracks this summer. You can stream “Feet To The Fire” below.

Rowland’s new album, Talk a Good Game, is available now wherever music is sold. Continue reading ‘Kelly Rowland Streams “Feet To The Fire”’

After a minute away from the spotlight, Atlanta native T.I. has released his official video for “Check This, Dig That.”

Set in black and white, the official video for “Check This, Dig That” ushers in a return to an earlier sense of self for T.I. The boy who became a man before our eyes delivers an ignorant jam filled with a love for snare that knows no end. Trae Tha Truth makes an appearance as well, but it’s nothing worth writing home about. You can stream the video for “Check This, Dig That” below. Continue reading ‘T.I. Releases “Check This, Dig That” Video’

St. Louis native Nelly is back in headlines this morning with the release of his latest single, “Get Like Me.”

Featuring verses from Pharrell and YMCMB queen Nicki Minaj, “Get Like Me” is the kind of track made for late nights in a club that is far too hot for anyone’s comfort. Your sweaty, the people around you are sweaty, but the music is loud and you don’t have plans until tomorrow afternoon. Cut loose for awhile today and spin this track as loud as you possibly can. You can find the HQ stream at the end of this post.

For those wondering, “Get Like Me” is indeed a sign that a new album from Nelly is headed our way soon. A new album titled Mo should hit stores sometime this fall. Stay tuned for a more specific date to be revealed in the weeks ahead. Continue reading ‘Nelly Debuts “Get Like Me”’

The world has been impatiently waiting to hear what Eminem would deliver next, and late last night we got what may be our first taste of the future.

Surfacing on Soundcloud via radio rip, a new track from Eminem entitled “Symphony In H” has started making the rounds on news sites. The song packs a near-circus like beat that is reminiscent of Relapse, but the the lyrical approach is undeniably fresh. You can’t help but bob your head to this one, so click here and get familiar before it becomes your neighbor’s favorite song.

Unfortunately, at this time it does not seem “Symphony In H” is a cut of Eminem’s new album. Instead, those hoping to support Marshall’s latest work can find the track on Tony Touch’s The Piece Maker 3: Return Of The 50 MCs album which hits stores July 9.

Superstar producer Hit-Boy took a career turn towards rapping with the 2011 release of “Jay-Z Interview Pt 1,” and in 2013 he returns with “Pt II” in his epic tale.

Every great rapper needs one (or more) origin tracks. This material is how fans connect with artists who otherwise live luxurious lives after they’ve gotten beyond a point of wealth the rest of us will ever know. The “Jay-Z Interview” series is Hit-Boy’s attempt to leave his legacy on tape, and the latest installment is as good, if not tighter, than the original. Here fans learn about the last 18 months in the rapper’s life, and the visual accompaniment helps further drive home the point he’s living a life that could easily be envied. You can view the video below.

Hit-Boy has yet to announce a second mixtape, but the release of “Interview Pt II” gives us hope for the future. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on “Jay Interview Pt II.”

Don’t give in to temptation, stream the album here and resist downloading a copy until street date. We believe in you!

Up and coming hip hop artist Iggy Azalea has released an out of this world video for her DJ Green Lantern’s remix of her latest single, “Bounce.”

Most remixes come and go without doing much to the original song other than adding and/or subtracting verses. The DJ Green Lantern reinterpretation of “Bounce” is much different, offering people a completely intoxicating new sonic vision of an already powerful track. The video is equally alluring, with Azalea performing and exploring the streets of Indie, which seems to have at least somewhat influenced the instrumentation of the track. You can view the video below. Continue reading ‘Iggy Azalea Releases Video For “Bounce” (DJ Green Lantern Remix)’

Pop star and dancer extraordinaire Chris Brown felt like releasing new music last night, and this morning fans around the world woke to find a new remix available for their listening pleasure.

The unofficial remix to “Somebody Else” finds Brown adding his own twist to Mario and Nicki Minaj’s new single. The results are satisfactory, but nothing too out of the norm. Brown has a voice that can do few wrongs, and this remix is certainly not one of them. You can stream the song at the end of this post.

In additional Chris Brown headlines, the singer is reportedly preparing to release a new single featuring deceased songstress Aaliyah. We’ll keep an eye out for the audio and bring you any updates as the surface. Continue reading ‘Chris Brown Releases “Somebody Else” (Remix)’
