Fans think that Drake is preparing to drop a sequel to his 2011 album Take Care. What is their evidence? A picture he posted on Instagram.
The picture in question does resemble the 2011 album cover. Drake wears a black and gold sweat-suit while sitting at a table doing a pose almost the same as what he did for Take Care.
For comparison, here is the cover of Take Care:
And here is the picture Drake posted last night:
Yesterday while on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, Rita Ora sang a cover of Calvin Harris’s “Slide”. Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, Ora sang over Frank Ocean’s verse and even rapped Quavo’s.
While on the show, Ora also performed her song “Your Song” and spoke on writing it with Ed Sheeran.

Logic dropped “1-800-273-8255” back in April as the third single from his album Everybody. Since then, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has noted how big of an impact the song has had.

The Lifeline writes that they have noticed an increase in searches for their platform since the song came out, as well as an increase in the number of calls they have since received. Many of the callers, they say, have mentioned Logic’s song.
Selena Gomez has been teasing her new song “Fetish” for the past few days, and now it is finally out.
“Fetish” was produced by Jonas Jeberg and The Futuristics and features Gucci Mane. The song will appear on Gomez’s upcoming third album, SG2.
Still images shared by Gomez on Instagram earlier this week led some to believe that she planned on releasing a music video with the song’s release, but no video has been released as of yet. An audio video for the song was released, though, showing a close up of the bottom half of Gomez’s face as she sang her new hit. At the time of publishing, the song has over 5.2 million views on YouTube, within the first few hours of its release.
Hear “Fetish” below.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony make a meta music video in the new video for “Ni Tú Ni Yo.”
“Ni Tú Ni Yo,” which roughly translates as “Neither You Nor I,” is Lopez’s latest Spanish single, and will appear on her upcoming Spanish album. The song features Gente de Zona and was debuted last week during NBC’s Fourth of July programming.
The music video shows JLo and a director in the midst of making a music video, cut with sultry shots and exquisite fashion. Check out the video below.
Major Lazer inspires in their new “Know No Better” music video.
The Philip Andelman directed clip flashes between a young boy’s reality and fantasy life – which includes dancing in studios and kissing his dream girl. The fantasy world includes cameos from Camila Cabello and Travis Scott, who feature on the song. Diplo also appears towards the end of the video, when the boy’s reality and fantasy finally meet.
Andelman said in a statement that the fantasy resembled one of his own younger self:
“I used to space out all through high school about being the sickest guitarist in the world to impress girls, but all I could play in real life was a quarter-speed version of Slash’s solo from ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine.’ I thought it could be fun to do a video that married a kid’s daydream of being a Major Lazer backup dancer (i.e. the ultimate goal for any dancer out there) with the reality of quotidian ass-kickings and unbearable siblings.
“Know No Better” comes from Major Lazer’s EP of the same name, which came out last month. Check out the video below.
J. Cole has been in the studio with Dr. Dre.

As for now, it is unclear what the group was doing together, and whether or not they may be working on new music. We do know that Dr. Dre has been working lately on Eminem’s new album and just released a new song “Gunfiyah” from his The Defiant Ones documentary.

Back in June 2 Chainz posted a cryptic picture of him with Eminem, captioned “Sooo this jus happened ……#marshallikestrapmusic.” No context was really given for the picture, but fans figured it was safe to assume it meant the two were working together.
Now 2 Chainz has admitted that he has worked with Eminem on a song for Eminem’s new album. Chainz spoke with DJ Drama about it on the radio, telling him exactly how the collaboration came to be.
According to 2 Chainz, Denaun Porter reached out to him about re-doing a hook and adding some ad-libs for Eminem. Shortly after, the two connected and Chainz was doing a verse for Eminem.
The track will appear on Eminem’s upcoming album. Not much more is known about the album yet, including what it will be titled or when it will come out.
Check out 2 Chainz talking about Eminem at around 17:35 on the video below.
