Today, super-producer/fashion icon/sometimes-hologram will.i.am put out a new record, #willpower, a dance-pop supernova of an album that features Miley Cyrus, Justin Beiber, k-pop stars 2NE1, and a long list of other huge acts.

Young Jeezy dropped the official G-Mix for “R.I.P.” featuring Snoop Dogg, Too $hort and E-40. This club banger just got a lot grittier with these West Coast OGs hopping on board. The four MCs take turns crushing the beat, while providing a good mix of different rap styles and flavors...
