    DJ Mustard is on the track. The prolific YG collaborator who dominated 2014 with his club-friendly sound has gotten back into the remix game with a fresh new take on Beyoncé's smash single "7/11" from the platinum version of her platinum selling artist album Beyoncé.

  • Despite Breakup Rumors, Ariana Grande & Big Sean Still Together

    While still a relatively new couple, Ariana Grande and Big Sean are not excluded from the world of reports speculating that the couple has broken up. Just Jared reported confirmation from Grande's representative this morning, Jan. 4, saying that the rumors that the couple have split are false, saying that the reports that had surfaced saying that the couple split following the Christmas holiday are "absolutely not true." Confirming the relationship in October 2014 in an interview with "The Daily Telegraph," Grande spoke fondly of Big Sean — real name "Sean Anderson" — saying, "He is one of the most amazing men in the whole world, and that includes my grandfather and my brother. I think the world of him, and he's an amazing person. That's kind of all there is to it." Fans of each artist have had their eyes on the couple following their collaborative efforts on Ariana Grande's new album "My Everything." Grande's sophomore album, of which Big Sean appears on as a featured artist on the track "Best Mistake," debuted at the No. 1 slot in the "Billboard" charts in September.

  • Big Sean Loses Grandmother, Shares Inspiring Story on Instagram to Pay Tribute [PHOTOS]

    Big Sean's family suffered an unfortunate loss recently when the rapper's grandmother, Mildred V. Leonard, died. She lived a full life, dying at age 93, but Big Sean wanted people to know how full her life was in other aspects. He posted a lengthy story on Instagram about Leonard, who sounds like a truly inspiring person, "Vibe" noted. A graduate of West Virginia State University, Leonard went on to obtain a master's degree as well. She was one of the first African-American females to reach the status of captain in World War II, so she was, like Big Sean wrote, "a true hero." Leonard became a police officer after WWII which, at the time, "was very rare for women to be officers in Detroit." She was also a teacher and counselor, but Sean remembered her as the "best grandma anyone could ever ask for."

  • Rich Homie Quan Shares 'Ain't Trippin'' Feat. Young Thug, 'Blah Blah Blah' Remix [LISTEN]

    Fresh off the success of their recent Rich Gang mixtape, Atlanta rappers Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug have shared a new collaborative track titled "Ain't Trippin'," which you can check out below. It is not clear if this is a leftover from their Rich Gang sessions, though it could also be a new cut, since their co-conspirator Birdman does not make an appearance. Though the track definitely has a typical hip-hop beat — typical for 2014, anyway — there seems to be more singing than rapping going on. You can check out Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug's "Ain't Trippin'" here: Quan and Thug's Rich Gang mixtape "Tha Tour: Part 1" was released in September and spawned six singles: "Tell Em (Lies)," "Imma Ride," "Freestyle," "Soldier," "Milk Marie" and "Flava." "Tha Tour: Part 1" was Quan and Thug's most-recent, full-length release, and neither have yet to release a studio album. Thug claims his debut album will be titled "Tha Carter VI," since Lil Wayne plans on "Tha Carter V" on being his last, while Quan's upcoming album has yet to be given a title. "You can expect Drake on my album. You can expect Boosie on my album," Quan told "Hot New Hip-Hop." "You can expect Thug on there. You can expect Wayne ... I gotta get Nicki on there." "That's why I'm still waiting," he continued, "That's why you ain't heard it yet. I'm still working on it. I gotta get Big Sean on there. A lot of these my idols. People I looked up to coming into the game." In other Rich Homie Quan news, the 25-year-old rapper also shared a remix of his track "Blah Blah Blah" yesterday, featuring new verses from Ty Dolla $ign, Fabolous and Dej Loaf.
