Jack Harlow knows how to make a moment. Opening the VMAs, the Louisville rapper performed his No. 1 single “First Class,” surprising the crowd with a live appearance from Fergie.
Jack Harlow also was the most awarded artist during the evening, securing four trophies. Harlow was also pulling off triple duty during the night. In addition to performing and running up the score in trophies, he was the show’s emcee.
Lil Tjay makes a comeback with the release of “Beat the Odds.” The song’s title has special meaning as the 21-year-old platinum rapper’s meteoric climb to stardom abruptly came to an end after he survived a near-death encounter.
After being shot seven times, including once in the lung and multiple times in the neck and chest, Lil Tjay underwent treatment for gunshot wounds. The new single is the product of being inspired while recovering in the hospital.
Tjay portrays tenacity in the riveting music video and uses moving real-life footage of him recuperating in the hospital while family members visited him as his condition improved to inspire viewers.
The Lil Tjay-directed video follows him as he leaves the hospital and makes his way to a lovely church, where he can be seen considering the obstacles he overcame and how grateful he is to be alive. Only eight weeks after the potentially fatal tragedy, Tjay is shown recording in the studio, demonstrating his genuine artistry by pouring back into his music. Watch this.
“I’m thankful for the love and support I’ve received from my fans, family and friends,” says Lil Tjay. “This has been a long road to recovery but I’m happy to have a second chance. Stay tuned…I’m back.”
Chris Brown is back in his Breezy bag, dropping off a video for the WizKid-assisted “Call Me Every Day.”
The new video kicks off with a woman enjoying her downtown in a bathtub before her mind transports her to a market where she runs into the two artists who delivered an elite performance of the song and the uber-popular TikTok dance.
Additional scenes place the two superstars in the presence of a bright light display and a living artistic setting where the two are surrounded by models who stroll the geometric cement structure.
Before the album was released earlier this summer, Chris BRown released the video for “WE (Warm Embrace)” featuring Normani.
The video opens with another single from Breezy as Chris free falls toward the earth. He then wakes up from the dream to Normani pulled up outside his home in a vintage Benz. The two then connect for an intense and steamy dance sequence that does not disappoint.
The BREEZY album will feature Lil Wayne, Jack Harlow, H.E.R., Fivio Foreign, and more.
From his eagerly awaited eighth studio album, LEGEND, coming September 9th on Republic Records, John Legend has launched the video for “All She Wanna Do,” featuring Saweetie.
A group of dancers appears in the colorful video, which was directed by Christian Breslauer. They initially believe they are at an open casting call until Legend and Saweetie surprise them on location by revealing the audition is actually the official music video shoot for the song.
Executive produced by Legend andproducer-writer Ryan Tedder, LEGEND is a double album infused with an unapologetic spirit of sensuality and joy. The album features Rick Ross, Rapsody, Ty Dolla $ign, Jhene AIko, Jazmine Sullivan, Amber Mark, Minu Long, Jada Kingdom, JID, and Ledisi.

Just ahead of her forthcoming sophomore album, Insecure, Inayah shares her ode to real love with her single and accompanying visual, “Most Girlz.”
EMPIRE’s R&B songstress on the rise is known for wearing her heart and soul on her sleeve. The Houston native bears it all on this track honoring reciprocated love from a significant other while embracing inner insecurities.
“I keep putting you in positions that should make you want to leave, but you just keep, you keep lovin’ me harder,” sings Inayah.
The new single/video highlights Inayah in her realest and rawest form and includes a cameo from her real life, love of her life playing opposite of her making for an authentic on screen chemistry.
““Most Girlz” is a story of transparency about how we juggle our deepest insecurities without realizing that there’s someone in our life that will love us through it! Often, we’re so settled into our flaws that the love surrounding us goes unnoticed. ‘Cause “Most Girlz” don’t find love in the city…. a thought that lives in the back of the minds of many who feel unworthy of ever being someone’s “person.” Allowing ourselves to be loved above all of our deeply buried, self critiquing feelings, is a challenge in itself but…. it is one that can be conquered,” shared Inayah.
“Most Girlz” follows the May release of “Always Something.” You can watch and stream it below.
Making a momentous return, multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated superstar and Atlanta icon Offset unleashes his first new solo record and music video in three years “5 4 3 2 1” available today via Motown Records. Listen to “5 4 3 2 1” HERE and watch the music video HERE.
Produced by Baby Keem, the track hinges on an ominously razor-sharp keyboard-laden beat. Meanwhile, Offset’s signature rapid fire flow cuts through the production as he counts down, “5 4 3 2 1.” In the accompanying music video, he dons an all Balenciaga fit as he takes over an amusement park. Catching air, he raps from a pirate ship tilt-a-whirl and on a swing suspended high above the ground.
It kickstarts another chapter from one of the most influential artists of the past decade as he prepares his next full-length body of work and the follow-up to the gold-certified chart-topping Father of 4 back in 2019. Of course, his rhymes also energized Migos’s blockbuster Culture III, which bowed at #2 on the Billboard Top 200, generated billions of streams, and received widespread acclaim last year.
However, he’s ready to break the internet and reshape the game like only he can once more.

Since the release of their latest single, “If I Get Caught,” DVSN has certainly stirred the pot and open pandora’s box for conversations on potential toxic relationship.
The group originally finished the recording of the record back in January, with the intention to release it in March. Instead, it was release this Summer. One would say it is perfect timing because Winter months are labeled as “cuffing season.” On the other hand, the warm weather season entices more outside activity that may or may not involve the cuffing season.
“You get to see this person and mentality in its boldest of thoughts,” said Daniel. “There’s something in the honesty of the song, although it may be triggering.”
It has certainly triggered some listeners and raised some eyebrows. “If I Get Caught” has also prompted a response from half of the R&B quartet, Xscape. Kandi Burress and Tameka “Tiny” Harris dropped their response and added their sauce to the pot of controversial R&B. In the chorus they sing:
If you get caught cheating
middle finger up ni**a f**k you
Both Nineteen85 and Daniel Day have shared their experiences of getting caught. While they have learned their lessons of the past, the point of the record stretches beyond toxicity.
According to the the R&B duo, (Daniel Day & Nineteen85) their forthcoming album is a story. “If I Get Caught” is only “chapter one of it” that discuss ego.
Drake hopped on Meek Mill’s “Going Bad” and spit a hell of a bar that will forever remain true: “I got more slaps than the Beatles.”
Billboard cosigned that on Monday, revealing his new collaboration with DJ Khaled and Lil Baby, “Staying Alive,” made a No. 5 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Drizzy now has 30 Top 5 singles, topping The Beatles, who had 29 and held the record for five decades.

“Ok I broke my records for the month now me and @stake need you to do your thing Bitcoin,” Drake wrote in celebration, also plugging his gambling venture.
DJ Khaled released “Staying Alive,” a song and music video that features Drake and Lil Baby, last month. The new song follows the formula for many previous hits that the executive producer and rap singers have released. On songs like “POPSTAR,” “For Free,” and “No New Friends,” to mention a few, Drake’s vocals were hot off the press. While Khaled worked with Lil Baby on the platinum-certified singles “You Stay” and the summer hit “Every Chance I Get” in 2021.
