Since Rihanna didn’t receive a Grammy, she got another award in its place.  Riri just surpassed Michael Jackson in the most songs in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 list.

“Love on the Brain” got Rihanna her 30th top 10 single on the Hot 100 list.  Ri was previously tied with Michael Jackson, the king of Pop, with 29 songs at 3rd place.  Madonna holds the top spot with 38 hits, and The Beatles hold the #2 spot with 34 hits.

Not only did Rihanna get into the top 3 spots, she also got recognized for another achievement.  Riri got the second fastest accumulation of hits.  It took her 10 years and 7 months to get to the #3 spot, while Madonna took 12 years and 8 months to get to her #1 spot.  The Beatles got the fastest accumulation of hits with 5 years and 9 months.

She might rack up a couple more songs with the rumor going around that she’s making an Anti 2 album. Riri is making moves and you best believe it after this success.

Future May Be Dropping Another Album This Week [PEEP]

Screen Shot 2017-02-21 at 5.35.42 PM

Future is rumored to be dropping a new album this Friday, making it his second in as many weeks. No title, tracklist, or cover art has been unveiled as of yet.

The self-titled ‘Future’ is already projected to debut at No. 1, so if his rumored second album would do the same on the Billboard charts, we would see something historic and unprecedented. We know Future has the capability to put up such numbers and is on winning streak.

According to HITS Daily Double, the rumored album is supposed to be “more rhythmic-leaning and radio-friendly” than the self-titled album, which was dominated by trap tracks like “Draco,” “Mask Off,” “Rent Money,” “Good Dope,” and “Super Trapper.”

During a Q&A session today with fans called #AskFuture, the rapper seemed to confirm the reports going around about the supposed album. Of course the point of getting former ally, Rocko off his back was brought up as the reason to drop another album, but Future shut that down by saying, “No way in the fuck am I doing that for him.”

See more on the topic below.

All signs seem to point to a new Future album this week, so strap up and get ready for new music. It’s all exciting for whoever has purchased tickets to his “Nobody Safe Tour,” as it is apparent he will perform a lot of new material.

Chris Brown Hit With Restraining Order [PEEP]

karrueche-cb-fight

Aside for his upcoming “The Party Tour,” Chris Brown also made headlines today when his estranged ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, filed a restraining order on the entertainer alleging he’s tried to kill her and beat her in the past.

In a sworn statement from Tran, she wrote that Chris “told a few people he was going to kill” her, “take” her “out,” and “shoot” her. She says he told friends that no one could have her if he can’t. The video below that Chris posted on his Instagram a few weeks ago definitely does NOT help his case.

According to the legal document, Karrueche also claims that Chris Brown “punched me in my stomach twice” and “pushed me down the stairs,” all while on probation for the Rihanna beating. She goes on to state in the documents that Chris has threatened to harm her friends and in a recent incident, even threw a drink at one of them, which ultimately made her follow through with the order.

The order requires Chris to stay 100 feet away from Karrueche, her mother, and her brother.

Chris Brown posted a response on his Instagram where he also talks about backing out of the Soulja Boy fight and “The Party Tour.” Watch below.

J. Cole Announces 57-City “4 Your Eyez Only Tour” [PEEP]

coleeyez-630x354

Last October J. Cole told the crowd at the Meadows Music Festival in New York City, that it would be his “last show for a very long time.” Cole put that notion to an end today, by announcing his global 57-city “4 Your Eyez Only Tour.”

Cole will celebrate the music off his chart-topping ‘4 Your Eyez Only’ album with the tour that will begin at The Music Farm in Columbia, South Carolina. The tour will make stops at major markets like LA, NYC, ATL, Houston, and Chicago.

Following the final US stop on August 20th in Dallas, Texas, Cole will embark on a journey overseas, where he will visit the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Sweden, and Australia.

Every song on the ‘4 Your Eyez Only’ album, made it on the Billboard Hot 100 chart upon its release in December of last year.

Cole’s last tour was in 2015 for his “2014 Forrest Hills Drive Tour,” which was led off by small shows in select cities, as part of the “Dollar and A Dream” movement. There’s been rumors that Cole will also be doing more of those in select cities during this trek.

Pre-sale tickets for the “4 Your Eyez Only Tour” will go on sale through Dreamville starting tomorrow at noon PST. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday. Visit Dreamville.com for more info.

Chris Brown & 50 Cent Announce Co-Headlining “The Party Tour” [PEEP]

CB

A few days ago Chris Brown announced “The Party Tour” on his Twitter account, with a flyer that originally included 50 Cent, French Montana, Fabolous, O.T. Genasis, and Kap G as opening acts.

Today, the official announcement has been made and it has 50 Cent as a co-headliner with Chris Brown. French Montana is also no longer on the bill, most likely a result of his past with 50.

The name of the tour comes from CB’s recently released single, “Party,” which features Usher and Gucci Mane. “Party” has been climbing on the charts since its release and Chris is capitalizing on the single’s success with the tour.

“The Party Tour” is set to begin in Baltimore, MD on March 31st and culminating in Los Angeles at The Forum on May 23rd. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale beginning tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. PST through Friday at 10 p.m. Tickets will go on sale to the general public Saturday at 10 a.m.

New Music: DJ Premier – “2 Lovin U” Feat. Miguel [LISTEN]

miguel-2-lovinu

It’s been a while since we heard a new song from Miguel, but the singer collaborates with legendary producer DJ Premier for “2 Lovin U.”

Preemo blesses the track with smooth chords, some slight sampling, and even sound clips. Miguel flips his vocals for “Damned,” which was a bonus track on his last LP, and puts his emotions of giving his unconditional love to a woman over the track.

Miguel last dropped an album in 2015 with ‘Wildheart’, so naturally we should be expecting a new project from the singer soon.

Future Drops Solo Version Of “Grammys” [LISTEN]

11821179_1478243319145837_1005748270_n

On the debut of Beats1’s “FreeBandz Gang Radio,” Future dropped a solo-version of Drake’s single “Grammys,” which was featured on ‘Views’.

The solo version includes an additional verse from Future with Drake’s verse being flushed out. There is also some small alterations to the instrumental.

This should come as no surprise, as Future just dropped his self-titled album that includes no features. Interestingly enough, at the start of the year Future sent out a series of tweets alluding that 2017 it would be him against the everyone else.

Future will kick off his “Nobody Safe Tour” with Migos, Tory Lanez, and Kodak Black beginning May 4th in Memphis. A$AP Ferg and Young Thug will also perform at select dates. Get more info HERE.

New Video: Kid Ink – “Swish” Feat. 2 Chainz [WATCH]

Kid Ink balls out with 2 Chainz in the video for “Swish,” which he releases just in time for the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities in New Orleans, LA.

Just like All-Star weekend the video includes skills competitions, except instead of a dunk contest, there’s a seductive pole contest where Ink’s team goes against Titty’s. A woman in a sexy referee outfit holds up 9s and 10s as strippers show off their moves on the pole.

Ink already performed the single during a surprise performance at a recent Los Angeles Clippers home game at STAPLES Center. Watch below.

Although Ink released his ‘Rocketshipshawty 2’ mixtape recently, he’s already working on the follow-up to it. 2 Chainz has also been in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’, expected to drop April 7th.
