IDK and Joey Badass have teamed up for a braggadocious new collab we never knew we needed. Tonight (March 29), the East Coast heavy hitters have shared “Denim,” the smooth yet opulent new track.

On “Denim,” IDK and Joey celebrate their accomplishments, reaping the well-earned fruits of their labor. IDK sets the scene, inviting us into the home of his dreams.

“Sittin’ on cloud nine, but it’s really my couch / Pierre Jeanneret’s, the original ones / Not the one’s they get for five hundred to dress up their house / I’m single, boy, single boy / No girl or no spouse / Crib be quiet as a mouse,” IDK raps.

Joey matches IDK’s luxurious energy, ruminating on having earned the life he’s worked very hard for.

“Sittin’ on your whole year, but it’s really my couch / Pierre Paulin’s, this the original one / Cost fifty bands, all in, just to put in my house / The replica like fifteen, you can check the amount / If we ain’t talkin’ money, IDK, what we talkin’ about?,” Joey raps.

The song’s accompanying video sees the two rapping inside of a lovely, furnished home, juxtaposed with scenes of the two moving to the beat in an outdoor Paris setting.

Two Florida women are the biggest rappers in the game right now. Tonight (March 29), Doechii teamed up with JT of City Girls for “Alter Ego,” their instantly intoxicating new collaboration.

The song features a prominent sample of “Show Me Love” by Robin S., and Doechii rides the beat with ease. Showcasing her versatility, Doechii offers mind-blowing examples of her quick-witted bars and her catchy screaming chorus.

Beyoncé And Post Malone Rock That Sexy Southern Drip On Their New Collab, ‘Levii’s Jeans’

Two Texas legends have teamed up in stylish southern fashion. Tonight (March 29), Beyoncé dropped her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, which features some festive collaborations. On a steamy song called “Levii’s Jeans,” Bey and Post Malone turn up the heat in their favorite denim garments.

“Levii’s Jeans” is full of sexy metaphors, as Bey sings “Boy, I’ll let you be my Levi’s jeans / So you can hold that ass all day long / Call me your sexy little thing / Snap a picture, bring it on.”

Posty chimes in with some southern twang, ruminating over a long-distance lover, and how they’re going to spend the time together once they reunite.

“Rodeo in your room, that’s you, break zoom, sweet perfect timin’ / Love it when you tease me in them jeans, girl, you don’t need designer / And when that thing gon’ hide your plane, baby girl, you the pilot / And I ram along, I could go on, but I’m goin’ on sight,” sings Posty.

The song arrives as an early contender for song of the summer, and is enough to put the unspoken beef between Dallas and Houston to rest.

At long last, a Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus collaboration has come to fruition. Tonight (March 29), Bey dropped her county-influenced eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, which features a duet with Cyrus called “II Most Wanted.”

On this cinematic ballad, Bey and Miley ruminate on their lovers, romanticizing making an escape, to a land where there are no laws, just love — delivering a country-pop anthem for passenger princesses everywhere.

“I’ll be your shotgun rider ’til the day I die / Smoke out the window flyin’ down the 405 / Yeah, I’ll be your backseat baby, drivin’ you crazy / Anytime you like / Woah, I’ll be your shotgun rider ’til the day I til the day I die,” the two sing on the song’s chorus.

Beyoncé Addressed Career-Long Criticisms On ‘American Requiem,’ The Opening Track To ‘Cowboy Carter’

With her new album Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé proudly taps into her southern roots, delivering a beautiful collection of country-inspired songs. From the very beginning, Bey sets the scene with “American Requiem,” a gorgeous intro hammering home the foundation of her craft — before anything else, Beyoncé is a Texas girl.

On a particularly memorable verse of the song, Bey addresses criticisms she faced early on in her career, as many noted that she had a strong southern accent. She also recalls being told she didn’t fit into the country landscape — presumably after the release of “Daddy Lessons” from her 2016 album, Lemonade.

“They used to say I spoke, ‘Too country’ / Then the rejection came, said I wasn’t, ‘Country enough’ / Said I wouldn’t saddle up, but / If that ain’t country, tell me, what is? / Tread my bare feet on solid ground for years / They don’t, don’t know how hard I had to fight for this,” she sings.

In an Instagram post from earlier this month, Bey noted that her Cowboy Carter album was “born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t.”

Needless to say, Bey just changed the game.

Beyoncé Reimagines Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ As A Warning Message To A Trifling Woman

On her newest album Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé takes on a country classic. Following much buzz, Cowboy Carter features a new version of Dolly Parton’s iconic anthem, “Jolene.” But this time, the Queen Bey ain’t messing around.

Bey’s version of “Jolene” features some notable lyric chance, warning a trifling woman to stay away from her man.

“Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene / I’m warnin’ you, woman, find you your own man / Jolene, I know I’m a queen, Jolene / I’m still a Creole banjee b*tch from Louisiana,” she sings on the song’s chorus.

On Parton’s version, Parton tells the song’s subject “my happiness depends on you,” but Bey warns this woman that in her book, it’s the other way around.

“I had to have this talk with you / ‘Cause I hate to have to act the fool / Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene,” sings Bey.

On the Cowboy Carter tracklist, this new version of “Jolene” is preceded by an interlude called “Dolly P,” featuring Parton herself, leaving a comforting voicemail to Bey.

“Hey miss Honey B, it’s Dolly P,” says Parton. “You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about? Reminding me of someone I knew back when Except she has flamin’ locks of auburn hair. Bless her heart. Just a hair of a different color but it hurts just the same.”

You can listen to “Dolly P” and Beyoncé’s version of “Jolene” above.

Beyoncé, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, And Reyna Roberts Link Up For ‘Blackbiird,’ A Reimagining Of A Beatles Classic

The power of manifestation is real. Tonight (March 29), Beyoncé dropped Cowboy Carter, her eighth studio album. On the album are some pretty promising collaborations, one of them being Tanner Adell — the self-proclaimed “Beyoncé with a lasso.”

The artists collaborated on a cover of “Blackbird” by The Beatles (stylized as “Blackbiird” on the album’s tracklist). The song’s lyrics are perfectly fitting for the timing of this collab, as Bey and Adell sing “All your life, you were only waiting / For this moment to arise.”

Adell has long cited Beyoncé as one of her biggest inspirations. Last year, in an interview with Country Now, Adell said a collaboration with Bey would be her dream.

“I really love Beyoncé, so I would love to do a big Beyoncé country moment with dance,” Adell said. “Obviously, I dance too, so I would be over the moon doing something with her.”

Even before the reveal of the collaboration, Adell began dropping hints about the collab as early as Super Bowl Sunday, when Bey released “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”

“As one of the only black girls in country music scene, i hope Bey decides to sprinkle me with a dash of her magic for a collab,” said Adell in a tweet, likely having already recorded the song.

Little did we know, they would soon rock our world — with the help of Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts, whose harmonies are simply gorgeous.

Dejounte Murray Hit A Game-Winner In OT To Give The Hawks A Second Win Over Boston In A Week

The Boston Celtics very well might be the best team in the NBA, and yet, they’re running into quite the problem: Figuring out how to beat the Atlanta Hawks in March while Trae Young is out injured. Earlier this week, Atlanta came back from 30 points down to pick up a 120-118 win over the 1-seed in the Eastern Conference.

A few days later and history didn’t quite repeat itself, but once again, the Hawks picked up a thrilling win over the Celtics. While neither team led by as many points as Boston did on Monday, it was a back-and-forth affair that saw Atlanta come out on top, 123-122, behind a ridiculous night from Dejounte Murray. With Young sidelined, Murray had a career-high 44 points on 18-for-44 shooting with seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block, along with the game-winning shot with 0.01 seconds remaining.

Boston actually had a chance to win, as a timeout advanced the ball into the frontcourt. Derrick White ended up making a shot, but there was just one problem: Since he was the inbounder on the play, it did not count, and possession went right back to the Hawks.

With the win, the Hawks became the first team to beat Boston twice this season.

CeeLo Green Did An Uncensored Version Of ‘F*ck You’ At A Hawks Game

NBA League Pass

NBA teams like to keep fans entertained during halftime. While most folks use the break in the game as a chance to go to the bathroom or get something from the concessions stand, teams will put some form of entertainment out there. Sometimes, it’s an act that goes from stadium to stadium and does the same thing — plenty of fans love Red Panda, while I’m personally a big fan of that dude who has people play Simon Says.

Every now and then, teams will put on a mini-concert, which the Atlanta Hawks decided to do on Thursday night during their game against the Boston Celtics. The team called up Atlanta native CeeLo Green, who performed his smash hit single from 2010, “F*ck You.” The catch: CeeLo didn’t censor himself, so instead of performing the more radio-friendly version of the song (“Forget You”), he really let loose.

The Hawks did seem to enjoy it, as they shouted out CeeLo on Twitter after his performance.

As for the game, this is a rematch of a game we saw earlier this week. Despite trailing by as many as 30 points in that one, Atlanta stunned the best team in the Eastern Conference, 120-118. As for how things were going on Thursday night before the half, the Hawks were once again competitive despite the Celtics taking a 63-59 lead into the locker room.

50 Cent Is Accused Of Rape And Physical Abuse By His Child’s Mother, Daphne Joy

50 Cent is being accused of rape and physical abuse. Today (March 28), Daphne Joy, the mother of his child, took to her Instagram stories, where she called out the “In Da Club” rapper after she was named as a sex worker in a new lawsuit related to Diddy.

Following the lawsuit, 50 took to Twitter blasting Joy, saying “You moved a mile away in hopes of having another baby with me but I was busy. So you moved back and then you started receiving money from Brother Love. Now here we are, little sex worker.”

Joy, however, decided she would no longer accept 50’s trolling behavior.

“Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me,” said Joy. “You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on.”

Together, Joy and 50 share their son, Sire, 12. In Joy’s note, she said 50 “permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me.” She also said 50 only saw Sire “10 times out of the 2 years” since Joy moved to New York so she and Sire could be closer to 50.

In a statement to Page Six, 50 has denied the allegations, saying “The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy the mother of my 12-year-old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire. The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son. My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time.”

You can read Joy’s full statement below.

Curtis James Jackson

Everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening right now. You are wreaking real havoc, frenzy, and chaos unto people’s lives. How would u if Sire was the one in handcuffs? For nothing.

We moved to New York to give you the opportunity to be a father to your son and you saw him 10 times out of the 2 years that we lived 1 mile away. I am tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned.

Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me. You have broken our hearts for the last and final time.
