New Video:"I Don’t F**k With You" x Big Sean + E-40

This is our song! I mean who hasn't felt like this at some point in their life. We couldn't wait for this video to be released. It's something about a visual that gives songs that extra layer. We have seen pics from the video shoot, so we knew the video would have a football theme and Kanye would be Big Sean's coach, but we didn't know the back story or how it would fit the song, but now it's finally here so check out the video below

Listen: Remy Ma Drops Her First Post-Prison Mixtape "I’m Around"

Finally!! we've been waiting forever (literally and figuratively lol) for the Return of Remy Ma. If you don't know by now, rapper Remy Ma was convicted of intentional assault back in 2008. After serving a six-year sentence, Remy was recently released from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women. That is a long time, especially in this business where everything is so face paced now. 

Those who don't remember, Remy Ma was well on her way to becoming a huge female rapper and to some of us, she already was/is, but now Remy is back with her new mixtape titled "I'm Around". We can't wait to see how she plans to insert herself back into the industry, because this is a very different music industry then it was before she left. We think she's already off to a great start by  releasing new music for the fans. We can only hope that her transition back into the music industry goes a lot smoother than rap legend Lil Kim's post-prison return. We would hate to see that happen to Remy too, but in the mean time please listen and download Remy Ma's New Mixtape Below!! and tell us what you think?

Happy Birthday Willow Smith!! + Stream her new her latest EP "3"

Today is Willow's 14th Birthday!! To help us celebrate,Willow surprised us with 3 new tracks off her ep. titled "3". The ep features tracks "8", "9" feat. SZA, and "Flowers." It has been amazing to watch Willow grow into to the young lady she has become today, and she's only 14! and way more mature than most people twice her age, so we can't wait to see what she does next. We love the sound and direction shes starting to go in as an artist. Her development and her growth is really starting to stand out among the "elite" in this industry. As we said before, Willow is one of those artists, that refuse to let society use her as a canvas to paint a certain picture of how "normal" is suppose to be, look, feel, and act and we love her for that. Check out what willow told The FADER about her new sound below

BeyMix: Check Out These Awesome "Pretty Hurts" Remixes

This is the BeyMix, The jeeps pump this new BeyMix, This is the BeyMix, Radio's play this BeyMix Lol that's for those of you who has been rocking with King B from the beginning ;)  As you can see we are very  excited about the release of these 'Pretty Hurts' remixes! (Christmas in June? haaa!) These two incredible remixes for this already incredible song has blown us away.The official remix is I Am A Camera’s unique take on the song, we never thought we would ever dance the way we did to 'Pretty Hurts' just now lol but they some how took this amazing balled and turn it into a mid tempo pop summer jam and we love it and we also love that Beyonce and her team actually ask the duo to remix the song.

They stated the “The remix came about because we were was contacted by Beyoncé’s musical curator who had heard our songs and asked for an I Am A Camera version of ‘Pretty Hurts’,” the duo also shared. “Beyoncé is one of our favorite artists of all time and a true icon, so to get this remix is beyond exciting for us. Working with Beyoncé’s vocals has got to be one of the most surreal and exciting moments in our career so far.” Via MTV

The Monsieur Adi Orchestral remix is a true gem. We didn't think we could get more emotional listening to this song but this orchestral rework really pulled a different type of emotion out of the song. This stripped down version of 'Pretty Hurts' allows you to not just hear but really listen and feel that raw emotion if you didn't before and if you felt it before this remix makes you feel it even more if that makes sense lol
