Listen: Jeremih Ft. Lil’ Wayne ‘All The Time (Remix)’ + Trey Songz’s Very Awkward Tim Westwood Interview

Jeremih grabs Lil’ Wayne to revamp “F*ck U All the Time,” a slow burner that originally appeared on Jeremih’s ‘Late Nights mixtape and will reappear on his forthcoming mixtape, Thumpy Johnson, as “All the Time.” It should come as no surprise that Wayne’s lyrical prowess hasn’t improved since the release of his Dedication 4 mixtape. ”P**sy for breakfast/ That’s how I start my day/ My d**k is a pen/ It’s written all over her face,” he raps.

Natasha Mosley’s distorted vocals and FKi’s keys and claps are still in tact, however, the Chicago crooner adds a sex-driven verse. Expect the tape to drop in April.

Watch: R. Kelly Sings For Security During Fight At Concert

R. Kelly’s dramatized hip hopera became reality during a concert at Los Angeles’ Nokia Live Theater. Two female fans came to blows, reportedly over a seat, and Kellz subsequently sang for security to come throw the women out. What he says is nearly inaudible, but it’s still entertaining to watch.

Sneak Peek: R. Kelly ‘Trapped In The Closet: Chapter 23′

In case you could have never lived without it, R. Kelly went back in the studio (after releasing the career defining Love Letter in 2010) to extend the saga known as Trapped In The Closet, a melodramatic “hip-hopera” song/video series that featured naked little persons, ‘down-low’ husbands, ex-cons and pretty much the best of the Maury Show.

Kelz returns with Chapter 23, which will air on IFC on “Black Friday”, November 23rd. Catch up with familiar characters in the clip below.

Listen: Ashanti Ft. R. Kelly ‘That’s What We Do’

Like Bow Wow, Ashanti has seemingly put her music career on hold to host a 106 & Park-like show. Well, in Bow Wow’s case, the show is 106 & Park, but none of that is pertinent.

Ashanti teamed up with hit-maker R. Kelly for “That’s What We Do,” presumablya song from Ashanti’s oft-delayed Braveheart LP. The song may very well be decent, but Lil’ Ronnie’s loud production distracts from Shanti’s airy but aggressive delivery.

Listen: R. Kelly ‘Feelin’ Single (Remix)’

Lately, male R&B songs have been filled with repetitive misogynistic lyrics. R. Kelly breaks the mold by dedicating the remix of his song, “Feelin’ Single,” to the single ladies who are doing well for themselves. On the bridge, he crosses the corny line when singing, “if you’re single and you know it, and you feel the need to show it, let me hear you!” Other than that, the track is pretty good.

R. Kelly Promises Return To Explicit Music: Talks ‘Black Panties’

Well, the R&B aficionado says he’s ready to return to his explicit roots that catapulted him to the king of baby-making music. The “Pied Piper” promises fans that his next album, Black Panties, will be filled with thickly evocative sexual references like his classic 12 Play album (listen: “Seems Like You’re Ready”).

Kellz has also been putting the finishing touches on his musical soap opera, Trapped In The Closet. Speculation regarding the mysterious “package” will be put to rest.
