Kanye West to Release Music 'Every Friday,' Kim Kardashian Says

West revealed on Twitter that his new album Swish will be released on February 11th.
Kim Kardashian West has fueled speculation about Swish, the in-the-works seventh LP from husband Kanye West. "Friiiiiiday!!!! New music!!!! #EveryFriday #Swish #RealFriends," she tweeted early Friday morning, suggesting the rapper-producer could be teasing the album with new material. That release strategy would echo West's 2010 "G.O.O.D. Friday" Twitter series, where he debuted new music each weekend ahead of his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy LP.

On New Year's Eve, West surprise-released his most recent track, the minimalist, Drake-styled "FACTS," which finds him name-dropping 'Drizzy' and referencing Steve Harvey's Miss Universe flub. The song also features the lyric, "Nike, Nike treat employees just like slaves / Gave LeBron a billi' not to run away." Now West has clarified that he wasn't dissing the NBA superstar, tweeting, "The media tried to make it seem like I was downplaying LeBron on my song FACTS which I would never do, Lebron is fam bottom line.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, rapper/G.O.O.D. Music CEO Pusha T claimed "FACTS" won't make the Swish tracklist, and neither will "any of the other records that were released before." Over the past year, West has debuted or released the solo cut "All Day," the Paul McCartney collaboration "Only One," the McCartney/Rihanna group song "FourFiveSeconds," the Vic Mensa-Sia team-up "Wolves" and the house-influenced "Fade." No matter what makes the final cut, the LP remains one of our 45 Most Anticipated Albums of 2016. 

On Thursday, Sia debuted the booming "Reaper," which was co-written and produced by West and initially intended for Rihanna's eighth album, Anti.

Olamide Vs Don Jazzy: Read Charles Novia's Interesting Take

Issues like this usually attract Charles Novia and he often come up with unique perspectives. Read:

The Headies 2015 (which ironically held on the first day of 2016) was an anti-climax after that. And perhaps the public tantrums of both Don Jazzy and Olamide were the highlights of what was before then an above average telecast with glaring lapses which could have been remedied with more precision.

When the artistes nominated in the ‘Next Rated’ category were shown in a mini-documentary somewhere in the show, taking photo-ops in the Hyundai SUV and pleading for votes from their fans so as to win the prize, I told myself after seeing the earnest expectations on their faces that this category would surely be competitive but would have some bad blood drawn thereafter.

The visuals of the four nominated acts seated side-by-side in the hall thereafter, being interviewed by the Hip TV Presenter just before the category was announced also showed an unease amongst them even if they were trying to put up aloof facades.

Korede Bello, Kiss Daniel, L’il Kesh and Reekado Banks. Four nominees in perhaps the ‘closest-to-call’ category in The Headies ever. Looking at the list, they each had hits in 2015. But in my personal opinion ( which I’m entitled to, innit?) I would have pruned the list at the final stage to just two; Korede Bello and Kiss Daniel.

‘Godwin’ was probably the biggest song of 2015, transcending both the secular and gospel charts and finding resonance all across Africa. How could such a song not get the artiste a winner in that category? On the other hand, ‘Woju’ by Kiss Daniel was another monster hit in 2015 which certainly would have won him that prize without raising eyebrows.

With due respect to Reekado Banks, I don’t think his ‘ Katapot’ track was that much of a phenomenal hit in 2015 but it was a good track. And L’il Kesh too, who was touted by Olamide as having back to back hits in 2015 ( by his reckoning) stood a chance as well but I would say a misfit of personal branding by the YBNL team for Kesh might have added to his loss in that category. Club and dance hits are different from acclaimed general hits when it comes to the brass tacks and ‘Gbese Re’ was huge on the club and dance circuits but can’t be termed a huge hit compared to Korede’s and Kiss’

Thus, when Reekado won, I was one of the surprised folks watching on television. Obviously this didn’t go down well with Olamide, on whose label Kesh is signed on to and he went on a profane and perhaps alcohol-induced rant onstage a few minutes later, calling out the organisers and storming off the stage thereafter.

Don Jazzy, the acclaimed Producer, who is the Head Huncho at Mavin Records which has Reekado as one of its acts, picked up the gauntlet a few minutes after while receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award and called out Olamide. He asked Olamide to come take the car won by Reekado and stormed out of the awards with his crew.

Olamide later went on twitter to rant more expletives on Don Jazzy.

Both artistes were wrong on many fronts. For Olamide, his open inebriation on stage calls for much questioning of his public conduct when he’s not in performance mode. As he boasts in his songs, he might have packed halls and swayed trends in the past year but trying a Kanye West onstage at The Headies was ill-advised. One should ask this question ( which I will also throw at Don Jazzy later as well) that if L’il Kesh had back to back hits as Olamide claimed, why didn’t YBNL deem it fit to buy him a car ( if he hasn’t any) all these months?

And Don Jazzy too should have stuffed it when he said that he had told Korede and Reekado not to bother themselves about the car if they didn’t win because he would buy them a car. Really? Did he mean to tell us that with all the shows and endorsements both acts had last year under his management, there wasn’t any ‘change’ left to buy his acts cars?

If that’s the case, something is wrong somewhere.

Don Jazzy screwed up though by calling out Olamide in his speech especially as Olamide never mentioned his name. But to a discerning mind, it seems those two had festering issues before last night and that incident was the last straw.

Mutual discontent and petty misgivings are common in the entertainment industry. I am never fooled by put-on smiles and show of camaderie most times by artistes as they are human like everyone else. What sets off animousities are usually a struggle for a space on top; a definition of ambitious egos or just plain loathing for petty reasons.

The struggle and not the hustle is what is real. Territorial dominance and egotistical relevance.
The major beneficiary from all this, in spite of the furore over the winner, is Hyundai. The brand now has more exposure than it bargained for and everyone would remember the brand for months to come. No publicity is bad at all in this regard for them.

To think that Don Jazzy and Olamide did a collabo a couple of years back and an anaemic one too, in my opinion. A song which didn’t make sense and was soon forgotten as soon as it came out.

With the storm over this award and the degenerative possibilities it portends, one can only suggest to Hyundai to come out with a new model inspired by this.

And calling that model ‘Hyundai Skelemba’ won’t be a bad idea. The sales might just be something the company can ‘bank’ on.

2015, the year in music: Adele, Drake and Kendrick Lamar

Continued poor album sales meant success this year was measured in downloads, free mixtapes and off-the-cuff singles

2015 will mostly be remembered as the year that Adele made an easy-listening album that sold nearly 1.6m copies in the UK in three weeks. In fact, the history books may record that the whole of the year was ruled by the beige brigade: Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, James Bay, all huge. Aside from those album successes, though, record sales were a misery. Even Faithless managed to get a No 1 album because they only had to shift 12,000 copies. But those statistics tell us very little about music in 2015. There were a series of encouraging shifts, in which the old metrics of success continued to be even more redundant.
Let’s start with the man who made the year his good girl: Drake. In February, he dropped a free mixtape, which he quickly retracted and sold as an album. Then he released two off-the-cuff disses of fellow rapper Meek Mill – Back To Back, since nominated for a Grammy, and Charged Up, as well as his most-played track to date, Hotline Bling. After that, all that was left to do was headline his own festival (OVO fest), launch a Beats 1 radio show and drop Hotline Bling’s dad-dancing video, which became the meme of the year.
Drake’s 2015 is a parable for what success looks like now: not massive sales but blanket coverage, through every medium, savvily responding to the insatiable thirst of the internet. The year’s biggest songs, by him as well as Rihanna, Kanye and Skepta, appeared only as singles, not on albums. Indeed, the bubblegum pop model of the 90s and 00s is almost dead, with One Direction’s split likely to be the nail in the coffin, and former eyes-and-teeth stars such as Bieber and 1D splinter cell Zayn Malik re-emerging as credible future-R&B tastemakers. A new girlband is now a far riskier proposition than quasi-credible solo artists such as George Ezra or Jack Garratt. In 2015, people crave authenticity, or at least the illusion of it, above all else. This leaves us with a new, faintly trendier style of pop music. Garratt, along with R&B rapper the Weeknd, Diplo’s EDM crew Major Lazer, reggae star OMI and Swedish singer MØ, is among the most-streamed artists of the year. All of them started in the leftfield but became beneficiaries of people’s more adventurous online listening habits, which meant they could build fanbases without the traditional trappings of celebrity.

More excitingly, genuinely underground music has been able to flourish on this new level playing field, especially in the UK. Most notable has been grime. A genre that once struggled because of its lack of commercial appeal, grime has thrived in 2015, driven by tracks being released as soon as they’re ready, high-fan engagement and a few shoutouts from Kanye and Drake. People have been talking about this kind of future for years, but 2015 was the year it finally happened, and MCs such as JME and Stormzy were able to get Top 20 releases without signing to a record label.
You might wonder how all this can be true when the year was so plainly dominated by two major albums: Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly (it broke Spotify’s record for the most streams in a single day, totting up 9.6m) and 25, Adele’s aforementioned commercial behemoth. But it proves that music will continue in diffuse in unusual ways and, while there will still be blockbuster releases, artists who aren’t best suited to them will continue to explore other options.
2015: it’s the year the music industry left the decrepit old structures behind and started afresh on one that works. Hello from the other side.

Rita Ora Is Suing Jay Z's Roc Nation!

Rita Ora wants to say goodbye to Roc Nation!

On Thursday, the blonde beauty filed a lawsuit against Jay Z's entertainment company because she's only released one album since she was signed in 2008.

The British babe blames the lack of attention on the Roc's decision to rep professional athletes.

The 25-year-old says that execs have come and gone since the company decided to broaden its business, and they no longer employ anyone she's worked with before.
The legal docs say the singer has plenty of music ready to go, but her label hasn't released any of it. The gorgeous gal argues that her contract with Roc Nation could keep her locked in a sh*tty situation for another three years… maybe even longer.
Rita claims there is legal precedent to get her out of her deal.

The 10 Best Music Videos of 2015

 
1. Kendrick Lamar, “Alright”
Over the summer, Slate’s Aisha Harris wondered if “Alright” could become the new Black National Anthem — and not just because the Black Lives Matter movement adopted it as an unofficial protest song. Its video contains one of the blackest moments of 2015, but it's not the one you may be thinking of, when Kendrick is gunned down by a white cop and flashes that smile, because you can kill the black body but not the black spirit. It’s when Kendrick and the rest of his Black Hippy crew are kicking it in Kendrick’s car, only for the camera to pan out and reveal that four white cops are carrying the car down the streets of L.A. At one point, Jay Rock pours some of his brown-bagged liquor out his window, a toast to his possible last moments of freedom before he’s literally carried off to the station — or worse. It’s brilliant, beautiful, black, and, now, Grammy-nominated. We gon’ be alright.

 
2. Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment, “Sunday Candy”
If you ask any artist what creative freedom looks like, chances are they’d point to Chance and all of his friends’ musical-theater-inspired video for “Sunday Candy.” I bet if Chance had his way, this is what every high-school drama program in Chicago would be able to afford to make.

 
3. FKA Twigs, “M3LL155X”
How does she do it? In a very short time, FKA Twigs has become one of her generation’s most formidable visual artists — this year putting out no less than six self-directed, mind-bending stunners. She’s so far ahead of the game, she dropped five at once: “Figure 8,” starring a surreal-looking Michèle Lamy; “I’m Your Doll,” subverting rape fantasies; “In Time,” channeling TLC; and “Mothercreep/Glass & Patron,” paying homage to voguing and, uh, rainbow fabric alike. What a mind-fuck 

4. Rihanna, “Bitch Better Have My Money”
Rihanna has not dropped an album this year (yet!), but she has starred in her very own revenge porno. At some point, you knew RiRi would snap. But did you know it would cost Mads Mikkelsen — as in, the dude who played the dude who famously cooks human flesh as fine cuisine — all of his body parts? Next time, just Venmo Rih her coins.

  
5. Björk, “lionsong”

Most would point to Björk’s 360-degree virtual-reality feat for the MoMA, “stonemilker,” as the best of several (great) videos released by the visual genius this year. But there's something next-level mesmerizing about watching her Vulnicura cover come to life in vivid, disturbing detail, right down to her heart beating out of her latex catsuit. Her MoMA show may have been a mess, but "lionsong" spawned yet another costume worthy of permanent-collection status.

  
6. Sia, “Elastic Heart”
Sia's girl-dancer doppelgänger Maddie Ziegler has found herself in some intense situations in the singer's stead over the last couple years, but the apex came this year, when Ziegler emotionally destroyed an already-pretty-sensitive Shia LaBeouf (and us) inside a massive birdcage.

 
7. Nicki Minaj feat. Beyoncé, “Feeling Myself”

At this point, we’re running out of fingers to count how many times Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj have stopped the world. There isn’t a single moment of this video not fit to GIF: Coordinated one-pieces, a bug-eyed staring contest, Bey drunkenly fiending for Now & Laters, and feeding each other burgers and fries — this is next-level slayage. (Head to Tidal to watch the full thing.)

 
8. Courtney Barnett, “Pedestrian at Best”

What an introduction: Before this video (and the strong debut LP it preceded), Australian indie-rocker Courtney Barnett was a quick-witted favorite among the Pitchfork set. Fast-forward nearly a year, and she’s up for Best New Artist at the Grammys. Keeping with the song’s deadpan humor, in the video, she plays the 2013 Clown of the Year who’s now a total has-been and run out of town by a fickle carnival crowd who’ve moved on to the 2014 Clown of the Year. Luckily, her “existential time crisis” has a somewhat satisfying ending, because underdogs FTW.

 
9. Drake, “Hotline Bling”
If they handed out Grammys for memes, Drake would surely sweep. But truthfully, it’s the long-underrated duo of Director X and choreographer Tanisha Scott — creators of every fluorescent Sean Paul video you got busy to in the 2000s — who deserve all the accolades. Oh, and James Turrell.

10. Missy Elliott feat. Pharrell, “WTF (Where They From)”
Only the master of the music video could take a break from the medium for nearly eight years and return with a retro-future display of human disco balls, marionettes, and enough choreo-inspo for all of YouTube to last another eight years. (But please don't make us, Missy.)

Wizkid’s ‘Ojuelegba’ Is Named 12th Best Song Of 2015 In The World According To FADER Mag

Yassss! you heard well; Wizkid made it to 12th on The Fader Magazine’s List of 107 Best Songs of 2015.
This is still  definitely Wizkid’s year as international recognition keeps on rolling in for the talented musician.
His awareness in the music world level went up another notch today after top international Magazine, FADER listed his song, Ojuelegba as the 12th best song of 2015 across the world.
There is no doubt that Wizkid’s ‘Ojuelegba’ was a huge hit in 2015 – and it got even bigger when Drake and Skepta jumped on the track a couple of months ago.
The list is topped by Skrillex and Diplo’s ‘Where are you now’ featuring Justin Bieber.
Wizkid’s song lands on number 12 after Drake’s Hotline Bling (4^th) and Kendrick Lamar’s Alright (11^th).
Featured on the list too is, Rihanna’s “FourFiveSeconds” feat. Kanye West, and Paul McCartney (2nd), and Fetty Wap’s “679” at (17th)
Describing the song, Fader says:

“Let’s get what we all already know out of the way: Drake hopped on this song from Nigerian artist Wizkid for a remix, generously making the song more famous (at least in America) than it might’ve been on its own in 2015. But let me state this clearly and definitively: the song never needed him. No matter the celebrity, you can’t improve on perfection, even if the Skepta verse that accompanied Drake’s on the remix was pretty great. No, “Ojuelegba” is best on its own, a graceful slice of rhythm that does not need cultural translation. Like Popcaan’s “Everything Nice,” the iconic global jam from last summer, it has a message of grace, thankfulness, and happy perseverance that resonates in every home. And that beat? It’s got a shoulder-shrugging momentum so joyful, how could it not have wound its way all over the world? —Alex Frank”
