Besides scoring big at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards and appearing in Drake‘s “HYFR” video as a masked Bar Mitzvah guest, all’s been quiet from Lil Wayne as her readies his forthcoming album Devol. Today comes a new tune of Weezy’s, off DJ Stevie J’s The Appreciation Volume 4 mixtape, and the song, “S.A.S.A.R.A.F” is a acronym for the endearing phrase, “Skate And Smoke And Rap And Fuck.” That pretty much says it all, doesn’t it, folks? Refrain from all of those activities at the moment and check out Wayne’s latest below. More »

Justin Bieber is launching a full-on call to the dancefloor — even though he’s still too young to gain entrance into the clubs. While his new album Believe is still but a few weeks from release (get on that, Internet), his Ludacris-featuring opening track “All Around The World” found its way online today (May 25), and its arguably Bieber’s most dancey track yet. In fact, is this an Enrique Iglesias/Chris Brown leftover? Because it sure sounds like it to us. See for yourself below. More »

Drake and Chris Brown have yet to team up on anything besides their respective (alleged) Rihanna disses, which makes this recently surfaced collaboration between the two of them noteworthy. The two artists teamed up way back in the day on “Yamaha Mama”, their take on Soulja Boy and Sean Kingston‘s collab of the same name off 2008′s iSouljaBoyTellem. We’re not exactly sure when this was recorded, why it was shelved, or why they decided to rework this harmless love song, but some things were never meant to be known.

Justin Bieber‘s “Boyfriend” has already been remixed to the nines, but why should that stop Asher Roth, 2 Chainz and Mac Miller from dropping their own version of the smash single? The three MCs drop their respective verses one by one, with the pop star’s vocals only coming in on the chorus.

Raps Asher: “We could be like Selena and Biebs, wild and free, a couple disobedient teens / Sneaking out to meet around like 2 o clock in the eve / Paparazzi in the bar and we just hot in the beach.” That pretty much sums up their entire relationship, though we wish he would have somehow included their Titanic date at the Staples Center. We’ll never let go of that one.

Jam out to the remix below and tell us which rapper’s verse you have a crush on.  More »

Kylie Minogue has been teasing fans with hints about a surprise she’s had in store this week — including a countdown on her website and the hashtag #tickticktick — and now it’s clear why. She’s got a slithery new single, “Timebomb”, in which she compels us all to dance before it’s too late. Over swerving synths she asks, “Why don’t you move your body to my body before we disappear?” We can’t really imagine why we wouldn’t, actually. Listen below.

Before Phillip Phillips teared his way through his coronation song “Home” on the American Idol finale, Idol judge Steven Tyler took the stage with Aerosmith to bust out the group’s new single “Legendary Child”. The rock tune comes off the band’s forthcoming album Music From Another Dimension, due August 28 on Columbia. The LP is their first studio release since 2004′s Honkin’ On Bobo, and their first album to feature only original music since 2001′s Just Push Play. So, it’s been over a decade since Aerosmith have attempted a serious try for radio domination. Can “Legendary Child” nab them their first Top 10 hit since 2001′s “Jaded”?

Hear the studio recording of the single below, then check out the tracklisting for their 15th studio album. More »

Jessica Sanchez Change Nothing

Jessica Sanchez‘s potential American Idol winner’s song (newsflash: Phillip Phillips won last night) is called “Change Nothing”, though we have a feeling there are a few things the 16-year-old wouldn’t mind changing — one of them being the fact that while Phillips’ coronation single “Home” is currently the top download on iTunes, “Change Nothing” is nowhere to be found on the online retailer’s chart, which tracks the 200 most-downloaded songs.

“It did bomb, didn’t it? The song didn’t work well live,” Interscope chief/Idol mentor Jimmy Iovine said to The Hollywood Reporter. Agree with his sentiment? Give the studio version of “Change Nothing” a listen below and decide whether you think the 16-year-old runner-up’s pop ballad deserved better or not. More »

Phillip Phillips Home

Do you like Phillip Phillips‘ Idol winner’s song, America? Apparently you do! Since “Home” was slapped on iTunes following Tuesday night’s final performance round ahead of the American Idol finale, the single has become the top download on the retailer’s chart. And so it’s pretty safe to assume that, naturally, some of those 132 million votes that came in (!!) for the show’s results have translated into money spent on sending “Home” to its new home of #1.

The whimsical, plucky guitar tune was co-written by Drew Pearson and Greg Holden, and aims for a Coldplay-like ambiance. Does it succeed? We’ll let you be the judge. Give a listen to the studio version of “Home” below. More »

You may be asking yourself why UK songstress Cheryl Cole has come to the defense of Chris Brown, and publicly declared that we should all forgive him for the whole Rihanna incident three years ago. But while you’re pondering that, Cole herself is questioning “why do I love you so much” on her new song “Love Killer”. (Not to be confused, mind you, with Joe Jonas‘ “Love Slayer”.)

“Baby, baby, you’re like the worst drug, but you’re a buzz killer / you’re a love killer, I’m in love with the love killer,” the singer laments atop squiggly synths, a squelching bass and a dubstep beat. Oh, Cheryl — life is so complex. More »
