New Video: Beyoncè – “All Night” [WATCH]

Numerous awards and accolades make Beyoncè’s ‘LEMONADE’ one of the best albums of the year, if not THE best. Earlier this week Rolling Stone called it the No. 1 album of the year. Queen Bey continues to celebrate the album with the video for “All Night.”

The “All Night” visuals aren’t completely new and appeared in the ‘LEMONADE’ film HBO one-hour special back in April. Prior to the VEVO upload, the video was exclusively on TIDAL and Apple Music streaming services.

Jay-Z, Blue Ivy, Tina Lawson, Zendaya, and others all appear in the abstract video.

Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Albums of 2016 Includes Béyonce, Kanye West, Drake, Chance The Rapper & More [PEEP]

rs_top50of2016-7b8c9fb4-dfe2-40dd-a58b-b60c64c40a6d

Béyonce, Kanye West, Chance The Rapper, Frank Ocean, and Young Thug all finished in the top 10 of Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Albums of 2016.

Queen Béy lead the way with her highly-acclaimed ‘LEMONADE’ topping the list. The platinum-selling album’s placement came to no surprise to some, after its worldwide popularity and countless awards and accolades.

“Beyoncé shut everyone else down this year with a soul-on-fire masterpiece, testifying about love, rage and betrayal that felt all too true in the America of 2016,” wrote the magazine. “The queen not only made the album of the year (and make no mistake, David Bowie would have been the first to say so), she delivered a confessional, genre-devouring suite that feels larger than life yet still heartbreakingly intimate, because it doubles as her portrait of a nation in flames.”

Chance The Rapper, Frank Ocean, and Young Thug all followed Béyonce in the top 10 for their albums ‘Coloring Book’, ‘Blonde’, and ‘Jefferey’, respectively. Both Chance and Franky Ocean have received high praise for the continuous success of their projects while being indepedent.

Drake’s ‘Views’ finished 42nd after ‘If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late’ placed third last year, behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ and Adele’s ’25’.

Other hip-hop notables include: Danny Brown’s ‘Atrocity Exhibition’ (19th), Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’ (25th), A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘We Got it From Here…Thank You 4 Your Service’ (30th), Alicia Keys’ ‘HERE’ (32nd), Maxwell’s ‘blackSUMMERS’night’ (40th), and Future’s ‘Evol’ (43rd).

Beyonce didn’t only lead the way at the 2016 MTV VMAs with 11 nominations and six Moonman trophies, she also slayed her 15-minute ‘Lemonade’ performance. In her performance she displays the choreography that earned her the Best Choreography award. Watch as she aggressively dances around the stage and breaks an MTV camera with a baseball bat.

BEYONCE’S LEMONADE GOES PLATINUM

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.

 

BIG SEAN ALBUM COMING

Big Sean announced this week that he will be releasing his follow up album to ‘Dark Sky Paradise’ in a few weeks.

‘Dark Sky Paradise’ was a tremendous success for Sean, who came out and said that his upcoming album is his “best work so far.”

Sean Don also teased the upcoming album earlier this year via Twitter.

Hopefully we see very soon. Sooner than later.

FRENCH MONTANA ALBUM AND DRAKE COLLAB COMING

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.

The album will have 14 tracks and features from Kanye West, Drake, Kodak Black and more to be announced.

Watch the video for “Lockjaw” featuring Kodak Black off ‘Mac N Cheese 4’ below.

DJ KHALED SHOOTS STAR-STUDDED VIDEO

DJ Khaled has been teasing a song with Jay-Z and Future on his SnapChat for a few weeks now.

Well, the single has yet to be released, but apparently the video was already shot with a lot of familiar faces in it.

https://twitter.com/rickyrozay/status/740606663917502465

Can you name everyone in the pic? Hopefully the song drops on Khaled’s next ‘We The Best’ radio show on Apple Music.

Fat Joe & Remy Ma – “All The Way Up” (Remix) feat. Jay-Z (Audio)

There’s been a lot of chatter around the industry of Jay-Z releasing some new music. Yesterday, a remix of Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s “All The Way Up” was released and featured a vicious verse from Hov. The Roc Nation head honcho makes various references from his D’usse cognac to bragging about all his GRAMMYs, but none was bigger than the “Lemonade” reference on the track.

“You know you made it when the fact/ Your marriage made it is worth millions/ Lemonade is a popular drink and it still is/ Survival of the littest,” he spits at the beginning of the verse. Can’t wait to see what else is to come from Hovito. There’s been rumors about a track with Future and DJ Khaled, along with others. He should make a big splash this summer.

Shoutout to Pecas for making this happen and listen to the confidence in Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s verses. You can hear they’re all the way back! Good to see!

Beyonce Releases “Lemonade”

Screen Shot 2016-04-23 at 10.45.05 PM

Beyonce released her newest album, “Lemonade,” in a very personal, deep and unprecedented way.

Her HBO special Saturday night also turned out to be a visual album for “Lemonade,” where she shared intimate details about her life and every woman’s journey of self-healing. The message of the conceptual project was clear, she is not the one to be trifled with.

The series of formalized videos displayed what she does best: spread woman self-empowerment, shed light on civil issues and slay of course.

Yonce set a new precedent with the visual album being released in a way the music industry had never seen. It shows the innovative thinking by the people at Roc Nation.

It’s really refreshing just like a cold glass of “Lemonade” on a warm summer day.

Listen to the full 12-track “Lemonade” album available on TIDAL now.

She couldn’t have planned the release any better with her Formation world tour kicking off on April 27th.
