  • Is J Cole Releasing An Album Next Month?

    The rumor mill is spinning in full force around an upcoming J Cole album due to an apparent leak from Amazon. As pointed out by MissInfo.TV, Amazon put onto its store an apparent LP for J Cole, "2014 Forest Hills Drive," which, according to the pre-sale order, is slated for release Dec. 9. The intrigue continues from there: "2014 Forest Hills Drive" is an address in J Cole's hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina, and, according to Vibe, he recently purchased the home.The alleged album does not appear on iTunes, however. Also, with the Amazon pre-order there is conspicuously no album art attached to the CD, which lends itself to the belief that this was not supposed to be uploaded now.There is more evidence to back up the theory on this album. According to reports, a now-deleted Instagram post shows J Cole's engineer Juro Davis in the studio "as he finishes up the last few mixes for J Cole's 3rd studio."

  • Preview David Guetta, Afrojack and Nicki Minaj's Upcoming Single 'Hey Mama' from 'Listen' [LISTEN]

    With just eight days until the release of his sixth artist album "Listen," David Guetta has unveiled one of the most high-profile collaborations on the album with Afrojack and Nicki Minaj. The 1 minute 30 second preview for "Hey Mama" gives us a taste of what we should expect from the three frequent collaborators, via "Capital FM." David Guetta and Nicki Minaj have had success on previous Guetta albums with tracks like "Turn Me On" and "Where Them Girls At" alongside Flo Rida.Though Afrojack was not listed in the initial batch of collaborators on the album tracklist, it is not surprising to see his name on this album with how strong a relationship he has with David Guetta. "Hey Mama" has the pitched up dutch electro sound you expect from Afrojack, but catered to a pop audience that allows Nicki Minaj's vocals to flow over it and should make this one another big hit for Guetta.He recently spoke to "Rolling Stone" about the making of the album and the process of writing the songs.
