R.I.P Selena Quintanilla + Video From Her Last Concert

What the world may have thought was a cruel April Fools joke nineteen years ago, actually turned out to be one of the worst tragedies in music history. It was the day we lost The Queen of Tejano, Selena Quintanilla, she was a true artist ahead of her time. Before your favorite artists became what they are today from Fashion, the way they sing, to stage performance Selena most likely did it first. She set trends for many generations to come and for that her legacy will forever live on. We Miss You Selena Quintanilla-Pérez R.I.P

New Music: "You Lift Me Up" x Mikey Wax + Official Lyric Video

Mikey Wax just released a song titled 'You Lift Me Up'.  This summer smash was written by Mikey himself and produced by Scott & Ed Cash. This feel-good catchy song has been stuck in our head for a while now, not that we're complaining about it lol. Also if the name Mikey Wax sounds familiar or if you think you've heard his voice on another song before its because you probably have. The singer/songwriter has a song off his 2009 debut album "Change Again" titled "In Case I Go Again" that has appeared  on MTV's The Real World, True Life,Teen Mom, ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars, and on NBC during the 2012 Summer Olympics.We think his new song 'You Lift Me Up' could have major radio/commercial success its fun, catchy, feel-good and it lifts you up (pun intended lol). So if you love this song like we do please support on

Surprise! Beyonce Made An Alternate Video for 'Grown Woman'

BeyHive get in here quick before Beyonce deletes it lol.... So an alternate video for Grown Woman has just leaked and its everything. We like to think of 'Grown Woman' as a fan favorite and while it didn't make the album, Honey Bey was nice enough to give us begging beyhydrated fans a video for the song anyway (now if only we could get Standing On The Sun lol). Beyonce could do no wrong no matter which version she chose to release but we can definitely see why she didn't choose this one as the official version.

New Music: Rita Ora X “I Will Never Let You Down” + Video

Ritabots it's finally here!! That's right our girl Rita Ora just released her new single off her sophomore album titled “I Will Never Let You Down.” It's fresh, its fun, and it reminds us of some dope 80's ish and we love it. The song was produced by Rita's boo thang, Calvin Harris, who's also responsible for hits like "We Found Love," and we think Rita has definitely found a hit with this song, it will be a summer smash for sure! If that wasn't enough the Party & Bullshit singer has also released the video for the fun, loving, feel good song, and the video matches the happy vibe of the song perfectly. We've been fans since Party & Bullshit, so it's amazing to see her growth in this industry so far and we are so proud of her.

New Music: Chris Brown x Fine China + Video

While a lot of people are focused on Chris Brown flaws right now. We much rather focus on the positive of Chris Brown and Chris Brown positive is music. You can say what you want about Chris but he makes damn good music, so with that being said Chris Brown new song Fine China is damn good music. The track is heavily influenced by none other than Micheal Jackson, but you have to being living in another galaxy to not know that Micheal Jackson is one of Chris's biggest inspirations. Chris album X is slated to be release sometime in either July or August. If this track is any indication of the direction he plans to go in for this album he's gone to have a great era of music, and we are fans of great music so as fans he has our full support. Also listen to the track and check out the amazing movie-like video for Fine China below.
