Azealia Banks has announced that she won't release any new music until March 2016! Why? Because the current contract that she's locked in won't let her release music until her contract is fulfilled in February 2016. The outspoken rapper was planning to release a mixtape next month as well as an EP but it looks like we will have to wait for a few months. But I know it will be worth the wait. On another note I guess as artists they need to read the fine print in those contracts. Same thing happened to Lil' Kim many years ago. Not a single music note was heard from Lil' Kim for years because she couldn't release music because of a faulty contract. It looks "Empire" will have more guest stars than a little bit this season. Next up will be Pitbull. Also said to appear this season is Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Chris Rock, and Ne-Yo. Which artist are you looking forward to seeing the most? Something else you might look forward to is the new singl...

Live It Up appears on J-LO's upcoming 10th studio album and her first for Capitol Records due this Summer.

Hello alll! The weekend is here and I can't begin to explain how happy I am. It's been one long week. J-LO is back with a new single and Ashanti is premiering a new video. Read more below! J-LO has called on Pitbull for her new single Live It Up ! The new single is said to premiere on May 8. The singer will perform the new single on American Idol on May 16; which is the finale. Being that Jennifer is performing on Idol that may have sparked the rumors of her returning to the show. A few days ago I reported that Jennifer Lopez was rumored to come back and replace Mariah Carey after dismal ratings this season. Personally I think FOX should can American Idol . I think the show has worn out its welcome years ago. Ashanti will premiering her new video for the single Never Should Have later today at 11 a.m. EST on etonline.com Ashanti's new album Braveheart is due sometime this Summer. Welp that's all folks! Enjoy your day and each other!

Jennifer Lopez reunites with Pitbull in the song and video for "Dance Again". The video also features Jennifer's new lover; Casper. The two have been making quite a scene since they've began dating. J-LO is obviously looking to rekindle the hit she had last year with Pitbull; "On The Floor". You know what the say. If it ain't broke; don't fix it! I see this song being another hit for J-LO. The video is nice and J-LO is always nice to look at it but that's where it stops.

Friday you can get the whole video of "International Love"; the latest and newest video from Pitbull featuring Chris Brown. I don't really keep up with Pitbull so I don't know what album this is from or if its from an upcoming or what.

The first single and video from Timbaland's upcoming album; "Shock Value II".

Jennifer Lopez appears on UK magazine She where she talks about her children and her career among other things. Jennifer Lopez recently released the buzz single, "Fresh Out The Oven" featuring Pitbull.

Hello all! I was cruising online when I found a few new album and single covers [I or] you may have missed. Boyz II Men are still trucking on after numerous years in the business. Their latest release, "Love" is a cover album featuring many classic hits. In stores November 24. R. Kelly will release his latest album, "Untitled" on October 13. The album is lead by the single, "Number One" featuring Keri Hilson. Jennifer Lopez returns with her alter ego, Lola for the new song, "Fresh Out The Oven" featuring Pitbull. The song was produced by The Neptunes and has a lot of buzz right now. As it was reported previously, this is not the first single for Jennifer's new album but moreso a buzz single.

Last night a new song from Jennifer Lopez titled, "Fresh Out The Oven" leaked out featuring Pitbull. Upon first listen the song wasn't bad but I wasn't exactly fuming over it either. Jennifer Lopez has been hard at work on a new album and below you can read further details on that album. People Magazine have confirmed that the title of Jennifer Lopez’s sixth studio album is “Love?” and that it’ll be in stores January. They also confirmed that new Neptunes produced song “Fresh Out The Oven” featuring Pitbull is just a buzz track, and that it will NOT appear on the new album. The news comes as a surprise considering that a music video has already been shot for the new song, which Pitbull recently described as having a sexy “Eyes Wide Shut” theme. “Lola is just for this song, it’s not her ongoing persona,” says a source close to the singer. “It’s something fun. She hasn’t become Sasha Fierce. There won’t be anything to do with Lola on her Love? album.” “This is a h...

Video: Ashanti Live At For Sisters Only It went down last weekend in the ATL with peformances from Monica, Yung Joc, and Ashanti. Check it out! Audio: Letoya feat Avant - Somebody Else Here is a newly leaked track for LeToya. LeToya is set to drop a new album at the top of next year. Being that her and Avant are now labelmates, a collaboration was sure to happen and here it is. Enjoy! Music News: It's being said now that Mariah's new single, "Migrate" feat T-Pain has been cancelled. I guess Island Def Jam has decided to pull the plug on the album. Everything with Mariah as of lately has come off phony and uninspired. She lip syncs all the time and she never seems into the performances. I hope her future albums are big turnarounds. I hope there is also an improvement in her live performances. While she has never been that much of a live performer, she could still work it out if she wanted to. If your still surprised about Kanye West dropping a new album this December, ...
