This week, Beyoncé released a music video for "Drunk In Love ft. Jay-Z", Angel Hazel leaked her debut album 'Dirty Gold' and Eminem released a video for "The Monster ft. Rihanna".
Last week, the internet went insane when pop superstar Beyonce dropped her fifth studio album unannounced. The 14-track visual album (also featuring 17 music videos), caused so much excitement that in less than a week it became the fastest-selling album on iTunes.
The starstudded album features work by Pharrell Williams, J Cole, Ryan Tedder, Frank Ocean, Jay-Z & Drake among others. Rolling Stone did a breakdown of the album in which they named "Drunken Love ft. Jay-Z" the 'Best Song', stating that it is "...like "Crazy in Love," now with 100 percent more drunkenness".
Recently, Eminem released a video for "The Monster ft Rihanna". The single is from the Marshall Mathers EP 2.
In the video Rihanna plays Eminem's therapist, forcing him to reflect on his career through a series of flashbacks. Clips from "My Name Is", to "The Way I Am" to his performance with Elton John at the 2001 Grammys, are shown as Eminem looks back at the high and low points of his life from the confines of a cage.
According to Following the news that Angel Haze's album Dirty Gold would be released in March 2014, the Detroit-born rapper decided to release her album on her own. MTV reports that Angel Haze took to twitter to shed light on her decision. Since they don't want to put it out this year, I will. Here's the album. HERE IS DIRTY GOLD.
