Ashanti and Keyshia Cole Will Face Off in Next VERZUZ Battle
Earlier this week, Keyshia Cole revealed that she would participate in a VERZUZ, however, she did not state who her opponent was. As fans took to the comments their guesses, many thought it would be Ciara or Mary J. Blige.
After the paperwork cleared, VERZUZ took to their respective social media platforms that Cole would be going against Murder Inc’s first lady, Ashanti, who previously expressed interest in a VERZUZ battle back in May during an Instagram Live with Fat Joe. “Keyshia Cole, would that be a great one?” Fat Joe asked Ashanti. “Listen, if they want to see it. I ain’t mad,” Ashanti replied.
Cole, 39, took over the mid-2000s with her singles, “I Changed My Mind,” “I Should’ve Cheated,” “Heaven Sent,” “Love,” and “I Remember,” while Ashanti, 40, held down the early 2000s with her debut single, “Foolish,” as well as “Baby,” “Rock Wit You,” “Only You” and “Rain On Me.” The singer is also responsible for penning and having background vocals on Jennifer Lopez‘s hit singles, “I’m Real” featuring Ja Rule and “Ain’t It Funny.”
Cole will be going head to head with Ashanti on VERZUZ via Instagram Live, Saturday, Dec. 12th, at 8 pm ET.
Joe Budden is reintroducing himself to radio with his new Amazon Radio Show, Music Lovers Only.
Premiering on May 16 at 5 pm EST, Music Lovers Only with Joe Budden will be a weekly syndicated series where he’ll be able to interact with fans using the live call-in feature on Amp —the new live-radio app from Amazon. According to the press release, Budden will also be able to curate playlists featuring his favorite songs, all while tapping in with fans about the latest news and issues that matter to the culture.
“As music lovers all we have is each other to spread the word of a good song, a good vibe, and a good set for the spirit,” said Budden. “Get to your favorite spot in the house and get comfortable, we’re just here to have a good time.”
Earlier this year, Nicki Minaj announced she would be leaving Apple Music Beats 1 for Amp, where she’ll be reviving Queen Radio.
Thank you Joe, I rlly appreciate you asking & caring. We have a new home. Official announcement coming soon. I gotta s/o Larry Jackson @ Apple tho, for originally putting the idea on my radar & giving me his blessing to explore new avenues for the show. #QueenRadio 🎀 pic.twitter.com/kX7KYPS7G6

There’s a new certification out! As of May 3, ‘Mystery Lady’ by Masego and Don Toliver just went gold, selling 500,000 copies! The two artists sing out to a lady they have no clue about. They’re just enveloped in how enticing she is.
This lady is unlike any fans whom Masego has given roses to. In his eyes, she’s like no other, which is probably why he’s never seen her!
“Thinking I can make as many songs ’bout a lady
When I haven’t met her
But she on me heavy, on my cerebellum
If I say I love her, am I wrong? Am I crazy?
Am I overzealous?”
In their music video, their mystique breezes through gardens, beach sands, city streets and more just minding hers while Masego follows after her.
Toliver doesn’t bother chasing but he still sings out to this mystery lady.
“Ring, ring, hit my celly (ring, ring)
Remember you went you bad on me, I won’t forget it (ring, ring)
You said you wanna tell on me, now, won’t you tell it? (Yeah)
In between the sheets, you know I got you yellin’ (yellin’)”
This single marks the third track of Masego’s 2020 EP called ‘Studying Abroad: Extended Stay‘ with features from Shenseea, Toliver, Sheléa, and TeaMarrr.
Earlier this month, Jack Harlow revealed the official artwork for his forthcoming sophomore album, Come Home The Kids Miss You.
Supported by the singles, “Nail Tech” and “First Class,” which debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Harlow took to Twitter to announce that only ‘legends’ were featured on his project. Later tweeting out the album tracklist, the First Generation artist is gracing up with 15 tracks with contributions from Drake, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell and Lil Wayne.
“Churchill Downs” was previously leaked on the internet which featured an alleged diss towards Pusha T by Drake. Despite it being leaked, Harlow will still be adding it to his project.
Check out the official tracklist to Come Home The Kids Miss You below.
