• R. Kelly Shares 'Happy Birthday' for 48th B-Day [LISTEN]

    Today, Jan. 8, happens to be R. Kelly's 48th birthday, so in celebration the R&B legend has shared a new song, appropriately titled "Happy Birthday," which you can check out below. The track premiered on DJ MoonDawg's radio show in Kelly's native Chicago — which explains all of the annoying sounds in the beginning — and features Kelly doing some heavily Auto-Tuned singing about watching two girls make out — on his birthday, presumably — all over a pretty basic backing track. It is definitely not one of his best, but it is so ridiculous you should probably take a listen anyway. You can check out R. Kelly's "Happy Birthday" here:

  • Rick Ross, Jeezy Drop New Verses on 'Preach' Remix [LISTEN]

    Young Dolph has shared a remix of his track "Preach" featuring new verses from fellow Southern rappers Jeezy and Rick Ross, which you can check out below. The track features a pitifully tinny trap beat courtesy of Zaytoven, but the forceful new verses from Ross and Jeezy almost make up for it, with Dolph delivering the hook himself. You can check out the remix of Young Dolph's "Preach" featuring Jeezy and Rick Ross here: You can download the track for free here. You can check out the music video for Young Dolph's original "Preach" here, just in case you were curious:

  • 2 Chainz Shares New Track "Trap House Stalkin'" From Upcoming 'Tru Jack City' Mixtape [LISTEN]

    Late last month, 2 Chainz revealed that he would be releasing a new mixtape titled 'Tru Jack City,' which will serve as a showcase for some up-and-coming Atlanta rappers and today, the 37-year-old rapper has shared the mixtape's first track, "Trap House Stalkin'," which you can check out here. The track features guest verses from Young Dolph and Cap-1 over a pretty standard trap beat (how can you not have a trap beat with a title like that?).

  • Keyshia Cole Shares 'New Nu' Music Vid [WATCH]

    R&B star Keyshia Cole has shared the music video for her Mike Will Made-It-produced single "New Nu," which you can check out below. The video features Cole and her friends in a pretty intense boys vs. girls paintball match, intercut with some — pretty ridiculous looking — shots of Cole standing in front of a green screen with diamonds and hundred-dollar bills cascading in the background. It is not entirely clear what paintball has to do with breaking up with a man who has done you wrong, but we will take it. You can check out Keyshia Cole's music video for "New Nu" here:

  • Chris Brown Guests On TeeFLii's "Blue Lipstick" [LISTEN]

    Los Angeles singer/rapper TeeFLii has shared a new track titled "Blue Lipstick," a collaboration with Chris Brown, which you can check out below. The track has some refreshingly unique production, with some slinky guitars and funky synths anchored by a hard-hitting boom bap beat. TeeFLii and Chris Brown trade lines, and though the overtly sexual lyrics are the song's weakest spot, the production more than makes up for it.

  • The-Dream Shares New Song "Fruition" From Upcoming Album [LISTEN]

    Earlier this month, R&B singer-songwriter The-Dream debuted his new single "Fruition" the old-fashioned way: through the radio. Now, a radio rip of the single has surfaced online, which you can check out below. The track is a slick piece of R&B driven by some electric piano, drum machine, and electric guitar licks, and sounds like no other mainstream R&B artist currently working right now.

  • R. Kelly Shares New Track "Back Up" Featuring Shawnna [LISTEN]

    R&B legend R. Kelly has shared a cool new track titled "Back Up," featuring a guest verse from fellow Chicago native Shawnna, which you can check out here. Other than the chorus hook, the song sees Kelly taking a break from singing to try his hand at rapping, and he's not bad, but the real draw of this track is the weird production, which lays a sinister, moaning beat underneath the verses.

  • Jessie J Shares 'Masterpiece' Music Video From Latest Album 'Sweet Talker' [WATCH]

    British pop star Jessie J has shared the music video for her single "Masterpiece," which you can check out below. The video opens with Jessie waking up in her bedroom (complete with some hilariously unsubtle Beats product placement, because this is 2014) and follows her over to a photoshoot in Los Angeles. By the video's end, however, Jessie is partying out in the streets with a huge crowd of her fans, who are all singing along to the song with her.

  • Lil Wayne, Big Sean, More Drop Verses In DJ Mustard's "Face Down" Lyric Video [WATCH]

    Hip-hop producer DJ Mustard has shared the lyric video for his track "Face Down," featuring Lil Wayne, Big Sean, YG, and Lil Boosie, which you can check out below. The video basically shifts back and forth between two background images: a silhouette of a pole-dancing stripper for the chorus (of course) and a ton of neon-lit hundred dollar bills floating through space for the verses (of course). As for the lyrics themselves, let's just say that these aren't exactly the type of lyrics that deserve any extra attention, but here we are.
