14 “Progress”
Pre-order the album on iTunes and get “Holy Key” as well as “For Free” feat. Drake and “I Got The Keys” feat. Jay-Z and Future.
Kent Jones already had a No. 1 single with “Don’t Mind” and just when you thought the rhythmic song couldn’t get hotter, he dropped the remix with Pitbull and Lil Wayne. Pitbull comes thru with the latin flavor, while Weezy brings wittiness and even throws some French words in the mix. You know the We The Best boss, DJ Khaled had to come thru with the ad-libs. Listen below.
DJ Khaled finally dropped the second single off his forthcoming album, ‘Major Key,’ titled “I Got The Keys” featuring Jay-Z and Future. The single that has been rumored and teased for months was everything we expected it to be. Hov fires off his flow in the only way he knows how, with provocative lyrics and major wit, while Future slays the hook.
However, nobody expected the FBG general to drop the tape less than 24 hours after teasing it on Twitter. It should come as no surprise as Future has always had a strong reputation for being a hard worker. This is the third tape he’s dropped this year along with ‘EVOL’ and ‘Purple Reign.’
‘Project E.T.: Esco Terrestrial’ mixtape is his offering to summer ’16. It has that natural trap feel with a handful of tracks that figure to light up the nightclubs all summer.
It comes loaded with features from Drake, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Lil’ Uzi Vert, Casey Veggies and more. Metro Boomin, DJ Mustard and Zaytoven also have production credits on the project.
Stream the full mixtape below.

SCHOOLBOY Q DROPS ‘BLANK FACE EP’ TRAILER
We’re a few weeks away from the release of ScHoolboy Q’s ‘Blank Face LP’ and Q gave us a preview for what’s to come with a cinematic trailer.
The trailer that is over a minute long shows Q running from the police, smoking a blunt with homies in his living room before his mom kicks them out and captures him behind bars. You’ll also see Q sporting a Houston Astros cap representing Hoover as he rides around the hood with some of his comrades.
It’ll be interesting to see if Q will release the album in a LEMONADE-isque fashion with full-length visuals.
Watch the trailer below.
The ‘Blank Face LP’ will be dropping July 8th.
LAKERS SELECT INGRAM WITH 2ND OVERALL PICK
The Lakers hit it big at the NBA Draft Lottery when they were awarded the 2nd overall pick. On Thursday the team turned that 2nd pick into Brandon Ingram out of Duke.
In a not so deep draft this year, Ingram was a major pick for the rebuilding Lakers, whom are in need of a big man.
It is not yet known if the 18-year-old will make the team this year or will be stashed overseas to work on his game. One thing is for sure that Lakerland is very optimistic of this pick and see Ingram as a foundation of the future.
With the 2nd pick, in the 2016 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select…https://t.co/pgHBKIMEeW

The album will also include features from: Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, Rick Ross, Bryson Tiller, Big Sean, Wale and of course Drake, Jay-Z and Future.
Just know the album is expected to have several anthems.
When Beyonce dropped ‘Lemonade’ earlier this year fans everywhere were in a frenzy as the album dropped via an HBO special. The album was officially given a platinum certification earlier this week.
The platinum plaque is the sixth for Beyonce, whom originally released the album exclusively on TIDAL.
‘Lemonade’ encompasses hits “Formation,” “Freedom” featuring Kendrick Lamar and “6 Inch” featuring The Weeknd.
Big ups to Bey on the accomplishment.
FUTURE EARNS FIRST PLATINUM PLAQUE
Beyonce wasn’t the only one to grab a platinum plaque this week, Future snagged up his first platinum certification as well for ‘Dirty Sprite 2.’
Although DS2 got a platinum certification, Future still has never had a platinum which is strange when you consider some of the hits he’s put out.
Bigs ups to Future and the whole FreeBandz team on the accomplishment.
A few weeks ago a video of French and Drake surfaced on Instagram. The collaboration apparently is a single that will be featured on Frenchie’s upcoming ‘Mac N Cheese 4.’
The expected release for the album is August 19th but you can pre-order it on iTunes HERE.
YG came out this week and announced he will be releasing his second studio album on June 17th. The album formerly known as ‘Still Krazy’ was switched to ‘Still Brazy.’

ScHoolboy Q has finally set the official date for his next album to follow up Oxymoron. Q took to Twitter to announce he will be dropping the album July 8th.
TDE came out and said in late April that the album was turned in, so maybe it was a strategic move to wait and drop it in the summer.
The first single off the upcoming album was “Groovy Tony” which was followed by “THat Part” feat. Kanye West. There’s no album artwork, tracklist or title as of yet but stay tuned. In the meantime watch the video for “THat Part” that dropped this week below.
The temperature is beginning to heat up as summer quickly approaches. Along with that heat came more heat from a plethora of your favorite artists. Listen to releases from Drake, Rihanna, DJ Khaled, Kanye West, Pusha T, Gucci Mane, YG and more below.
For weeks DJ Khaled has been asking everyone he’s encountered if the “Drake vocals came in, yet?” Well, they finally did and they are well worth the wait. The song “For Free” will be on DJ Khaled’s forthcoming album, “Major Key.” It’s been a very busy week with lots of new music from Jay-Z, Rihanna, Pusha T, YG and many others. What a time to be alive.

PRINCE DEAD AT 57
It was a sad week for fans of music with the news of Prince’s death after reports circulated that his body was found inside his Minnesota compound Thursday.
As of now it is unclear if his death is related to the same illness that required an emergency landing in Illinois while he was touring in April.
One thing that is for certain is the “Purple Rain” singer left behind an amazing catalog that few artists past or present could match.
In the hip-hop world his presence was heavy and many shared reactions to the icon’s death via Twitter:
Listen to tangerine by Prince or his cover of A case of you

Heartz of Men – 2-Pac
Big Brother – Kanye West

CHYNA PASSES AWAY
Former pro-wrestler Joan Laurer also known as Chyna, was found dead at her Redondo Beach apartment Wednesday. She was 45.
Chyna graduated from the University of Tampa before joining the WWF (World Wrestling Federation), where she became the only undefeated female fighter in WWF history.
Growing up watching the WWF I remember watching her go heads up with anybody that stepped to her.
R.I.P.
NICKI MINAJ COVERS TIME MAGAZINE
This past week TIME magazine rolled out their yearly 100 most influential people covers. Nicki Minaj was honored with being on one of the covers.
Lil Weezy wrote the introduction for Nicki’s cover with reflections of all her accomplishments and recounted his first impression of the diva.
Read what he said below:
You know, in New York they used to have these street DVDs. It just so happened that I appeared in one, and when I looked at the finished product, Nicki Minaj was on a part of the DVD. I was like, “Woooooow!” She was just being Nicki without the glitz and glamour. When I heard the first two and four bars, it wasn’t even about her rapping better than any female rapper. It was about, man, she’s rapping better than other rappers—period.
I always wanted more for my artists and saw Nicki’s potential from the first moment I laid eyes on her. She’s reached far beyond everything I would have imagined. Man, she’s so influential and doing all the right things. She’s an icon, a boss and a role model to all these young girls out here on how to do it the right way. Her work ethic speaks volumes and has yielded these results. The scary thing is she’s still going. Ha! Nicki Minaj will go down as one of the best to do it in the history of music.
Congrats, Ms. Minaj.
