Chris Brown gets some things off his chest on the introspective “How I Feel,” a new track released online. The R&B sensation addresses the ups and downs of his personal and professional life including witnessing his mother being physically abused, his aversion to the media, fair-weather friends, and the infamous night with Rihanna from three years ago.
“Nineteen, a ni**a went through a tragedy/ Three years, a ni**a just found a better me/ Yeah, you might find another lover, but you always started with Breezy like the letter B,” he sings. Listen closely.
Mary J. Blige pulled double duty on “American Idol” this week, mentoring the top 13 contestants and filling in as the musical guest. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul hit the stage on Thursday’s results show, performing her Rick Ross-assisted single “Why” for the first time on television. She earned a standing ovation from celebrity judges Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson. Watch her shut it down.
If you want a verse from 2 Chainz, you better get in line. The Southern rapper has amassed an arsenal of features since changing his name to Tity Boi, and he’s about to add three more high-profile collaborations to his résumé.
Mindless Behavior makes a movie with their eight-minute video for “Hello,” a cut off the teen sensations’ debut album #1 Girl. After being grounded by his mother (Tisha Campbell), Prodigy sneaks out to meet up with the rest of the group. While playing basketball, he catches the eye of a little lady and heads back to her house with Princeton, Ray Ray, and Roc Royal.
But Prodigy’s budding romance gets shut down when the girl’s strict father unexpectedly barges in. Later on, he attends a party with his friends, but his mother finds him and drags him back home. Parents just don’t understand.

Directed by Sam Pilling, the dramatic clip was shot in Atlanta and captures the intensity of the Diplo-produced lead single off Usher’s upcoming album, due later this spring.
Despite the song’s sexy title, it has nothing to do with sex. “It’s odd that people view ‘Climax’ as a sexual song,” Usher told Atlanta’s V-103. “It’s not. It’s not even about sex. It’s really about the ultimate experience or finale of an experience of love and life.”
Atlantic Records hosted a cocktail reception for two of ATL’s finest, Trey Songz and T.I., at Frank Ski’s Restaurant & Lounge on Wednesday, the night before Trey’s “Anticipation 2our” stop at ATL’s Fox Theatre.

The labelmates have collaborated on a new song for Tip’s upcoming album Trouble Man. “It’s just a really, really strong club anthem,” producer Rico Love told Rap-Up TV.
