Boyfriend: The Remix

Justin Bieber is out to prove he's not your little sister's buddy anymore

Okay, now I know I am not the only hip-hop head who heard Justin Bieber's new joint and thought it was fire.  This dude is like Justin Timberlake when he went first solo.  This dude has SWAG now- he says so himself.  His hit has been all over hip-hop stations across the country.  Dude came a long way from "Baby," that's for damn sure.

And now he got 2 Chainz, Mac Miller AND Asher Roth on the remix?!

I knew I wasn't alone.  This Usher protege has grown up.

Check out the remix below.  Swag.

And shoutout to 2 Chainz, he definitely gets "Featured Artist of the Year."

"Boyfriend" Remix - Justin Bieber ft. 2 Chainz x Mac Miller x Asher Roth

There's "No Church in the Wild"

After seeing the video for "Runaway," I knew I could trust Kanye's vision for making videos, knowing he could make me feel as if it were a movie.  Dude did it again with "No Church in the Wild," his hit with Jay-Z from "Watch the Throne" featuring R&B crooner Frank Ocean.  None of the artists on the song appear in the video (as far as I could tell) and it shows a world of chaos, free men vs. the boys in blue, showing that there really is no peace in a world full of havoc.

See for yourself below, it goes hard.

2 Chainz and Drake Go IN, "No Lie"

So it's about that time the summer anthems are coming around, and 2 Chainz and Drake are making sure you are bumpin' them this summer.  Their collaborative single, "No Lie," is hot- it has two of the hottest rappers out right now, so that was granted.  2 Chainz is doing his thing lately, making songs with the best of them, so big ups to him.  He is also on the Club Paradise Tour with Drizzy so if you can make sure you check for them when they come to your city.

Look out for 2 Chainz August 14th, Based On a T.R.U. Story is sure to go HAM.

Check out the explicit version below.

Where Have You Been All My Li-i-i-i-i-ifeee?

Now I know I am HELLA late but I had to take the time to talk about this video anyway.

Back on April 30th Rihanna released the long awaited "Where Have You Been"' video.  It's a great love-pop-dance track that I'm sure is hot in all the clubs right now- it is the one and only Rih Rih after all <3

What I was excited for most was the fact that we finally got the chance to see her dance in the video- and Miss Fenty was gettin' it!  The tribal-glam themed video featured the gorgeous lady and her slew of dancers and it was just...

You get the idea.  Watch and comment below. #RihannaNavy
