Jidenna is definitely a classic man. From his dapper look to his dope music. He released the remix to "Classic Man" featuring Kendrick Lamar, a cameo from Issa Rae and none other than the Janelle Monáe. Lamar assists with the west coast rap and sag, while Monáe is just giving us life (go queen!). If you haven't thought dressing in suits aside from church day, funerals or prom you def should think again. His upcoming EP Wondaland Presents: The Eephus drops August 14.

Brandy has been exploring the new place she now calls home, NYC. She recently blogged about her singing a great rendition of "home" on a subway trip. No one noticed, not one single fan. Good thing it was caught on video, because she sounded great and her skin looked flawless post workout. Check it out above. WRITTEN BY: VIOLA CONSTANCE | @Voila_its_Viola
Is filing chapter 11 bankruptcy a new trend or what? Rapper and actor 50 Cent has filed for bankruptcy, according to Yahoo News. 50 aka Curtis Jackson has listed his assets and debts each in the range of $10 million to $50 million. This comes just days after Jackson was ordered to pay $5 million to a woman who sued him over a sex tape that was released without her consent. Two months before his boxing promotions company, SMS Promotions, filed for bankruptcy. This simply a minor setback to restructure if you will. All the best to 50 Cent.

Love & Hip Hop: New York will be back later this year with new drams and new cast members. And guess who is joining the cast? An actual artist that people actually know and remember who have hits and awards to show for it. Okay that wasn't too nice let me stop, but Remy Ma is joining season six and I am kind of excited. The show hasn't been supplying me with enough content to hold me. Maybe she can refresh the show and add back the element of hip hop.
That's a way to work your way back into the limelight. Aside from joining the show, Remy has recently performed at Hot 97’s Summer Jam, reuniting with rapper Fat Joe for their hit “Lean Back”. She's made all of that happen after serving six years in prison and only being out less than a year. Side-eye to some of previous cast member (what they doin'? Bullshittin'!). Not sure who else will pop up, but Rapper Papoose will also join the show.

This is truly a day of freedom. Lil Wayne dropped his 15-track mixtape Free Weezy Album in the wee hours of 4th of July. According to Rolling Stones the artwork for the album does not include Cash Money or Young Money logos. Guess Weezy is celebrating his freedom from music biz/record label madness. The mixtape features Wiz Khalifa, Young Jezzy, Jim Jones and many more. The opening track,"Glory," debuted on Tidal in June. FWA is streaming exclusively on Tidal, which Weezy co-owns. Listen here.

Rihanna dropped visuals for her latest hit Bitch Better Have My Money a few days ago and now we have a full on mini movie styled video via Vevo on YouTube. Rih Rih plays no games in the video when it comes to her cash. She rides with a two-woman silent crew who carries her heavy weight. The video chronicles the girls partying while holding a hostage in wait for Rihanna's money to be paid back. The ending is a bit dark and Rih looks a bit like Carrie post pig's blood. Check out the video above. WRITTEN BY: VIOLA CONSTANCE | @Voila_its_Viola
