Chris Brown Promo Week

This week Chris Brown made various stops to television and radio stations in New York City as he promoted his new single "Fine China" and his upcoming studio album X. During each of his interviews the most popular questions were centered around his rekindled relationship with pop star Rihanna, who is currently on her Diamonds world tour. As well as the beef between him and YMCMB rapper Drake.

Tuesday morning at the Today Show

Later on that day he went to 106 & Park, where he premiered the music video to "Fine China"

One of my favorite radio interviews he did throughout the week was when he visited Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex's Show where he did a  freestyle to Drake's "Started From the Bottom".

New Music Video: "High School"/ "Fine China"

Yesterday Nicki Minaj released the highly anticipated music video for her single "High School" which features Lil Wayne. This song is on her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded THE RE-UP album. This video has grabbed quite some attention as viewers see Nicki and Lil Wayne participate in a love scene, although their real life relationship is like brother and sister. Nicki is expected to start working on her next studio album, which will most likely continue with the Pink Friday franchise. As a fan of Nicki Minaj I think it would be pretty cool for Nicki to actually release a mixtape like she once did before she was signed to Young Money.

This week Chris Brown began doing his promo rounds for his 6th studio album X. This past Tuesday he visited 106 & Park as well as the Today Show where he promoted the first single off of his new album. His new song "Fine China" was produced by Diplo. The song channels the late Micheal Jackson with the style of the song as well as the treatment for the music video. When asked about the meaning behind the title he said there were many reasons, one being that the letter "X" is the 24th letter in the alphabet and he'll be 24 when the album releases (his birthday is on May 5th), the album is expected to drop sometime this summer. 

New Music: "Hit Em Up"/ "F*uck for the Road"

Young Money rapper Tyga is gearing up for the release for his third studio album Hotel Californa, which will be released next week on May 9th. The album features songs such as "Molly" and "Dope". Last week two new tracks were released from the album. One of those tracks being "F*uck for the Road" featuring Chris Brown. This slow jam samples the classic SWV song "Rain", although it wasn't mentioned I'm sure his child's mother Blac Chyna was the inspiration behind this song. Not to mention that Tyga just released the tour dates for his upcoming tour overseas, which begins April 30th in Germany.

The second track released this past week was "Hit Em Up", which features Jadakiss and the late Tupac. The song was produced by DJ Mustard, who is known for working with rapper YG. For those who are fans of Tupac are familiar with his legendary diss track "Hit Em Up", so it was only right that he was featured on this track. 

New Music Videos: "R.I.P"/ "Mirrors"

This past weekend Young Jeezy released the visual to his hot new single "R.I.P" featuring 2 Chainz, this single will most likely appear on his next upcoming album, which has yet to be titled. The video features cameos from various celebrities, such as Snoop Dogg (Snoop Lion), YG, Draya, Trey Songz and many others. 

Justin Timberlake is officially BACK. He recently released his new album The 20/20 Experience, and last week he released the video for his second single "Mirrors", which was produced by Timbaland (it's obvious since the beat is similar to "Cry Me A River"). The video is dedicated to his grandparents, as his grandfather recently passed away last year. Listening to the lyrics of the song, Justin expresses that he feels the love shared between his grandparents has been passed down to him and his new wife actress Jessica Biel. I love everything about this song and video. 

Music Video: Kelly Rowland- "Kisses Down Low"

Back in January I introduced you guys to Kelly Rowland's new single "Kisses Down Low" produced by Mike Will Made It. Last week she released a colorful and fun visual to the track, which is featured on her upcoming studio album. The video was directed by. Colin Tilley.

New Music: "Body Party"/ "5AM in Toronto"

Last week Ciara released the third single off of her fifth studio album One Woman Army. Her new single "Body Party" was produced by fellow ATL producer Mike Will Made It. The song samples Ghost Town Dj's hit single "My Boo". Recently Ciara has been making headlines for her personal life as she recently started dating rapper Future. I actually like this song and I may be one of the few people looking for her to win and get back on top this time around. There is no official release date for the album, but she is looking to release the album as early as this upcoming Spring. 

This week Drake released the second single off of his upcoming studio album Nothing Was The Same, "5am in Toronto" is said to be the follow up from his "9am in Dallas" single, which appeared on his Thank Me Later album. In this particular single it's rumored that he addressed the whole Chris Brown club brawl and the issues he recently had with The Weekend. Nothing Was The Same, does not have an official release date as of yet, but it's expected to drop later on this year. 

New Video: "Poetic Justice"- Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar has finally released the visual to his latest popular single "Poetic Jestice", the song appears on his debut album good kid, m.A.A.d city, which is currently in stores. It was rumored that Janet Jackson was asked to make an appearance in the video. However, the video is set in modern day Compton where a drive-by shooting occurs with Kendrick Lamar and his love interest. Kendrick Lamar is currently on tour.
