This is how he chills from '95 til...

Joey Bada$$ made quite a bold move titling his latest track "'95 Til Infinity." The song title is a nod to the Souls of Mischief song "'93 Til Infinity" which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. While many have attempted to penetrate that classic instrumental, Joey did not. This song is a whole different animal.

Hear them have each other's back

It's been established. Kelly Rowland is serving up R&B to be reckoned with on this upcoming album "Talk a Good Game." But damnit, if she keeps feeding the fans, what will be left to look forward to when we're full? She's already given us oral sex ode "Kisses Down Low" and devastating confessional "Dirty Laundry" and long-awaited Destiny's Child reunion "You Changed" and, if the Lil' Wayne-assisted "Ice" had actually made the album cut, then with this new tune "Gone" now released, we've practically heard half the set.

But it's slower than you'd expect

Remember back in April when Ciara gave fans a sneak peek of her upcoming album's tracklisting and one of the songs said "feat. me" like she'd either developed one hell of an alter-ego or her cockiness had just become completely uncontainable? Well, the song was titled "Super Turnt Up" and now you can finally hear, once and for all, why she's split herself in two.

As the weather gets warmer, artists hustle to get their music ready to be "Summer anthems." For a while it seemed like the game was slowing down. Well have no fear, June is here, and with it comes a whole slew of new music to bump. We're only one week in! Check out some of this week's top leaks in Hip-Hop and R&B.
The gang's all here!

November marks the 20-year anniversary of Wu-Tang Clan's classic debut Enter The 36 Chambers. Since then, the team has existed collectively and separately, promoting their Shaolin roots to the fullest. The entire crew comes together for a new track "Family Reunion." It's a family affair.
Staying fresh as always though.

Titling a track "Feds Watching" would insinuate some conspiracy theories about constantly being clocked by Big Brother. That's not totally the case on 2 Chainz's new track with Pharrell Williams.
Who knew he was so charming?

It's been over a decade since we've heard TLC on a track that wasn't part of a greatest hits compilation, or a tribute album, or the result of a probably good intentioned but seemingly insensitive reality show. And it's been just as long since we've heard them on a song that made chart placement worthy of mentioning, much less made it to #1. But hopefully, this new tune'll do the trick one way or the other.

So, THAT'S what they were cooking up in the studio!

Wale's "Bad" is a pretty flawless hit, but it's his guest Tiara Thomas who he should really thank for that because it's her chorus—that ever-honest and explicit admission sung in her distinctive drawl—that makes us want to sing along to the bed-squeak beat without feeling bashful. After all, before Wale spit his two cents over all it, she was the one who wrote the original melody.But like the story of any starter wife, here she is being replaced by a sleeker, shinier and arguably less talented version of herself on the "Bad" remix.
