DJ Khaled’s album arrives in seven days, but for now, he’s promoting the project on Miami and Atlanta radio stations. Check out his first vlog featuring Tony Neal, DJ Nasty, DJ Scream and a host of others. Kiss The Ring August 21st.
2 Chainz was recently in Vancouver and caught up with Nardwuar. Of course, The Human Serviette came bearing gifts and discussed real estate, food, and jewlery. Gotta love the freeze at the end. Based On A T.R.U. Story out today.
Nas may be after the actress who played Faith Evans, but Rick Ross has her in his new video in support of God Forgives, I Don’t. The clip is a lil’ Not Safe For Work due to a topless scene, but watching a nip-slip hasn’t gotten anyone fired, right? GFID in stores now.
Kelly Clarkson went from “Texas to thug” last Friday at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Detroit. And during her set, she paid homage to the hometown hero Eminem, with a cover of “Lose Yourself”. Apparently, she lost her breath along the way.
Nicki shook her money maker again this morning on the Today show. Nice outfit. Here’s a clip of her performing, “Pound The Alarm”.
Where the fuck the paint? Not sure, but here’s new material from Gunplay’s 106 & Snort mixtape. With all the leaks floating around, now would be a good time to deliver the entire product.
On the eve of his release day, 2 Chainz returned to 106 to discuss the album, fashion, Playaz Circle and even got some surprise visits from Dolla Boy, The-Dream and Scarface. Based On A T.R.U. Story in stores now.
What looks like just one big orgy, is actually the accompanying visual to Rocky’s new release. Off his A$AP Mob’s Lords Never Worry dropping August 28. All purple everything, of course.
She’s coming. Ms. Banks glams up on the colorful cover of the September/October issue of SPIN magazine. Peep the rest of her spread here. hhnm
Capone keeps the new music grind going strong with a fist in the air over Juvenile’s “Power”. Wouldn’t be surprised if he has a new project coming soon. Stay tuned. 57thave

This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
