After making waves with “Gucci Gucci” last year, Kreayshawn serves up the brand new single off her Columbia Records debut Somethin’ Bout Kreay, due this summer. The White Girl Mob leader feeds her fans’ appetite for more on “Breakfast (Syrup)” featuring 2 Chainz.
“I’m hungry, hungry for this money/ Call Me Kreay Hefner, Playboy bunny/ ‘Bout that juice, bread, cheese, breakfast,” raps the Oakland native over the rattling bassline, before a yawning 2 Chainz adds a tasty verse.
The video for the song, directed by Kreayshawn, will debut Monday. “It’s the most important meal of the day, so everybody needs their breakfast,” said the 22-year-old rapper. “It will be a great music video because I directed it and everything I direct is great.”
Kreayshawn’s album will feature a mix of hyphy music, juke, and bounce, with contributions from Kid Cudi, Chippy Nonstop, V-Nasty, Sissy Nobby, Jean Baptiste, and Diplo.
Jay-Z may be an O.G. in hip-hop, but he’s still a newbie when it comes to parenting. However, his rap peer T.I. knows a thing or two about being a family man. During an interview with Fuse, the father of six shared some fatherly advice for Mr. Carter, whose daughter Blue Ivy is four months old.
“Little girls are going to judge men they meet in the future based off how their father treated them,” said the star of VH1’s “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.” “You’ve got to be her first love, her first everything so when she run into nonsense in the street then she’ll know, ‘Nah, my daddy would never do it like that, so this isn’t even worth my time or attention.’”
He added, “Another piece of advice is enjoy the moments. Enjoy the moments because once they’re gone, they’re gone.”
Tip couldn’t stop smiling when speaking about his son King. “King, when he was small, he had the fattest little cheeks. He just looked like a cute lil’ baby boy,” he recalled. “Then he started stretching out and getting long. … Now I need another baby. You miss those baby moments.”
The King also confirmed that B.o.B and Taylor Swift will be shooting a video for their collaboration “Both of Us.” “That’s just a phenomenal record,” he said. “No matter what genre of music you love the most, you have to be able to appreciate a record like that. When two people from completely different walks of life have nothing to bring them together but the love of music and they put their passion on wax for you, you gotta appreciate that.”
Jhené Aiko is furious at her man, but manages to keep her cool on the sensual “2 Seconds,” which she wrote herself. Last year, the L.A. songstress debuted her much-buzzed-about mixtape Sailing Souls, with appearances from Drake, Miguel, and Kendrick Lamar. The former B2K affiliate is currently working on her Def Jam debut Souled Out with Chicago producer No I.D. Prepare for the quiet storm.
Nelly Furtado lit up the stage during her appearance on British chat show “Alan Carr: Chatty Man.” Rocking a glittery top, the Canadian songstress performed her Rodney Jerkins-produced single “Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)” along with world champion Native American hoop dancer Tony Duncan.
Her album fifth album The Spirit Indestructible has been pushed back from June 19 to September 11. Catch her performing the song live at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Lil’ Kim kicked off her “Return of the Queen” tour with some fellow members of hip-hop royalty. The Queen Bee had the Paradise Theater in the Bronx buzzing when she brought Eve and Missy Elliott to the stage to perform “Hot Boyz.”
The crowd went wild as Eve delivered her verse from the 1999 single, while a shy Missy danced on stage in a cloud of smoke. Kimmy Blanco also rubbed elbows with Drita Davanzo of VH1’s “Mob Wives,” Juelz Santana, Cassidy, and Mr. Cheeks, who joined her on “The Jump Off.”
