And somehow got Lil Wayne to star on Cassie’s new single “Official Girl” (Which, by the way, she stole from Def Jam’s Karina). We all know why Lil Wayne got involved though… “I’m about to get a lot more female fans from this,” the man-of-the-month admits at the end of the video below:
Ahh, don’t we all love Nas. He’s without a doubt the dopest rapper out right now keeping hip-hop alive. He’s finally launched his official blog/site www.NasIndependenceDay.com which I recommend you guys all check out. His new untitled album drops July 15, 2008. Here’s a trailer for his new single, “Hero,” produced by Polow Da Don.
The new Nas album, which ironically after all the drama is untitled, drops July 1. More at NasIndependenceDay.com.

I had the pleasure to do my first interview with an artist of intelligent words. Ace Hood is a newly signed artist to DJ Khaled’s label We The Best Music. His debut single ‘Cash Flow’ has been murdering mainstream radio and he refuses to stop there.
Q: To start off, tell me about where you grew up.
Ace: Well you know, I’m from St. Lucia. Grew up in Deerfield Beach, Florida ya know. That was my home or my city for like 14 plus years.
Q: How did your childhood influence your music?
Ace: Well in my childhood I didn’t grow up with my original father, so my step father- he took place of his position or what not. My real father was a part of music as well. He was part of a band and my step father was part of a band as well. The pretty much inspired me. They inspired me coming up. Ya know. Do what I do. They was always supporting me to do it. So I might as well have pursued it like that.

Lil Mama just shot the video for her fourth single, “What It Is (Strike A Pose)” with T-Pain. And as they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Teddy Penderassdown isn’t the only artist Lil Mama stuck with for this single; R. Malcom Jones, who shot her past three videos, also directed “What It Is.” Peep more photos and listen to the song after the cut.

As you can see in the above promo picture, your girl Michelle Williams is breaking from gospel to a more edgy, pop-disco sound. Earlier this week, her song “We Break The Dawn” leaked via the internet. I’m not even going to front–I’ve been blasting this song everyday on repeat. The thumping bass and raspy vocals are enough to get the entire club moving. I also had the chance to listen to another single that leaked earlier today, titled “Until the End of the World”. Check out the two tracks below. Michelle’s upcoming album Unexpected is set for a summer release. This is certainly a project I recommend to everyone!

Finally, the legendary Beyonce is back with a new song entitled “Beautiful Nightmare.” This is supposedly off her third studio album, yet to be titled.
To add to the anticipation, Timbaland is rumored to do most of the producing on her next album. All I really have to say is thank the Lord she isn’t doing a country album, which was a ridiculous rumor floating around. With this track “Beautiful Nightmare”, Beyonce goes for a more Pop/Dance feel. I’m not so into it that I’m going to search the net for a download, but it does get my feet tapping. Though I’m glad Beyonce might be moving in a different direction, I just hope she doesnt go too far out and confuse the hell out of us. Look out for her third album slated to be released late this year.
Listen: Beyonce- “Beautiful Nightmare”
