John Legend - "The Beginning"

There's nothing like news that John Legend's dropped a new single to tell you that today's going to be a great day. In a radio interview I heard recently on Atlanta's V103, the hit singer and songwriter stated that he's got a fifth album in the works that he and Kanye have been crafting together, which will return to his Get Lifted roots.

To get you excited, stream his new single "The Beginning," and hit the comments to let me know if you're just as hype as me to hear John's forthcoming album.

Tank ft. Chris Brown - "Shots Fired"

Tank has been busy working on music with Ginuwine and Tyrese for their group TGT, but he's got some solo tracks in the vault as the LA Leakers premiered "Shots Fired."

Unlike what the title suggests, "Shots Fired" isn't a diss record. It's not even one of Tank's trademark smooth and seductive records like most of Tank's repertoire. However, this collaboration with Chris Brown shows Tank venturing out to a more urban radio ready/club side of music. Feeling it?

Fat Joe ft. Teyana Taylor & Wiz Khalifa - "Ballin'"

Fat Joe has been relatively quiet in the last few months, but hopes to change that as his new single "Ballin'" has hit the net. The hook from Teyana Taylor is simple yet catchy and a verse from Wiz Khalifa can never hurt, but do you think this track deserves more than one listen? Hit the comments and let me know!

Birdman Calls Angie Martinez To Discuss Lil Wayne's Health

Over the weekend fans were in a panic as news that Lil Wayne suffered multiple seizures broke on TMZ. After multiple false reports and rumors that Wayne was in critical condition and barely hanging on at some point, Weezy's adopted father Birdman called in to Hot 97 to tell Angie Martinez what's really going on.

Listen to the interview below, as Baby claims that Lil Wayne is doing great and also claims that the drugs Weezy doesn't shy away from rapping about or displaying had no impact on his seizure.

Birdman-Angie Martinez Interview:

I'm glad to hear that Wayne seems to be doing alright, and I'm interested to see how this tragedy will unfold as he prepares to release his album I Am Not A Human Being 2.
