A snippet of Beyoncé and Andre 3000's cover of the late Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black," surfaced about a week ago, and many people took offense to Bey and 3 Stacks touching the recent classic.

[Music Video] Chance The Rapper ft. Ab-Soul - "Smoke Again"

As heard on his project 10 Day, Chance The Rapper is an emcee that we really need to blow right now. His creativity is out of this world, and it's only right that he link up with another unorthodox mind like Ab-Soul.

Watch Chance cook his heart out in the official video to "Smoke Again," and get ready for Chance's Acid Rap mixtape to hit the net TOMORROW, April 30.

[Lyric Video] B.o.B ft. 2 Chainz - "Headband" (NSFW)

B.o.B may have taken lyric videos to a whole 'nother level today. To premiere his new DJ Mustard produced single "Headband" featuring fellow ATLien 2 Chainz in full, Bobby Ray provides a challenge of sorts. Focus on the lyrics or focus on the jiggle. Which one will you choose?



B.o.B.'s currently untitled third LP is slated to drop later this year.

Ab-Soul ft. Mac Miller - "The End Is Near"

Ab-Soul and Mac Miller seem to get each other musically, and thankfully for us they continue to release records together.  All eyes are on Soul since his crowning as one of XXL's 2013 Freshman, and on his latest track "The End Is Near" he spits more than a few bars you might have to rewind to fully grasp. The track, produced by Mac Miller under the Pittsburgh emcee's alias Larry Fisherman, is a simplistic yet dark beat that's perfect for Ab-Soul and Mac to focus strictly on the lyrics.



Hit the jump to peep Ab-Soul's individual freestyle for XXL. Definitely representing TDE well!

Rickie Jacobs - "The Devil Wears Prada/God Wears Gucci"

GUE's favorite Baltimore emcee Rickie Jacobs has been relentless lately, as he drops his second The Jake produced loosie of the week. Premiered by Sermon's Domain, the homie Sermon described the dual track perfectly:

"In Star Wars Episode II-III, Anakin Skywalker was at a constant battle with himself before ultimately turning to the dark side. If that could translate to rap, Rickie Jacobs’ “The Devil Wears Prada/God Wears Gucci” would be his episode II. This two sided record finds him struggling with his career (in a story fashion, not necessarily meant to take away as personal in his life) and his surrounding. The force is strong within this one."

[Music Video] Alicia Keys ft. Maxwell - "Fire We Make"

I may hate the album's title track, but Alicia Keys' Girl On Fire has some pretty nice deep cuts. One of them, Maxwell duet "Fire We Make," has emerged as a single, and the R&B crooner makes a rare appearance as he joins Alicia in the visuals.

[Music Video] Ciara - "Body Party" (Starring Future)

It looks like the momentum is finally back in Ciara's favor as she shut TVs and the net down yesterday with the 106 & Park premiere of her new single "Body Party." In the Mr. X shot video, Ci takes us to a classic house party filled with cameos from some of the A's hottest (Ludacris, Trinidad Jame$, Mike WiLL, and Jazze Pha just to name a few) as she and her real-life beau see into the future of their relationship.

Of course the dance scenes are amazing, and the chemistry between Ciara and Future is clearly not being faked in this video. Watch the visuals to "Body Party" below, and hit the jump to catch Ciara's awkward moment on 106 & Park as her ex Bow Wow interviewed her while Future looked on from the crowd.
