Whilst the news of Rihanna's new single ‘Work’ got drowned out by the sound of Kanye's epic Twitter rant; if you missed it read here.

The singer made her return by releasing her new album ‘ANTI’ just moments ago, after it leaked online.

It was previously reported that the album may be coming sometime this week, and fans will be happy to know that it has now been released and available to stream via Tidal.

Along with Drake, TDE's first lady - SZA also features on the album on the opening track ‘Consideration’. PARTYNEXTDOOR, Timbaland, Travis Scott, DJ Mustard, The Weeknd amongst others all contributed to the Rihanna's eight studio album.

As guessed her previously released singles ‘FourFiveSeconds’, ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ and ‘American Oxygen’ did not make the cut on the album. Hmm... I wonder why?

Peep the album tracklisting below and stream ‘ANTI’ via Tidal here, the album will be available tomorrow.

New Video: Kendrick Lamar - i

King Kendrick, how you've been missed. Mid-September Kendrick Lamar decided it was time for him to quench the thirst of his fans, by releasing his new highly-anticipated single ‘i’.

Quenching the thirst of some, and leaving others dry-mouthed with a sound from him that we're not usually used to, Kendrick has now unveiled the video to the record, that has grown on many.

In ‘i’, Kendrick Lamar let us know that he's not a rapper but a writer. The song which samples The Isley Brothers' classic single ‘That Lady’ is the official theme song of the NBA. Kudos to Kendrick for that, that cheque must be a hefty one.

Kendrick adds funk in his step as he dances throughout the video of ‘i’ in a remote neighbourhood, passing by cop cars in the streets, a couple arguing on their front porch and a suicidal man. 

It's only right that Kendrick pays homage to The Isley Brothers in this happy-like video, which we see Ron Isley make a guest appearance and drives Kendrick back to the club where he first kicked off the music video.

‘i’ - the ultimate confident booster will appear on Kendrick's not yet titled, neither does it have a release date, third studio album.

New Music: Kendrick Lamar - i

And he's baaaaack!!

No matter what the beat may be - Kendrick Lamar stays true to himself with his bars and lyrics. He's not a rapper, he's a writer!

The Compton rapper released his highly anticipated new single ‘i’ today and was premiered on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, before it hit the net. 

Sampling the Isley Brothers' classic single ‘That Lady’, Kendrick raps about loving yourself and sends a positive message in the lyrics of the song, produced by Rahki; ‘i’ is the ultimate confident booster.

Giving us an old school Motown feel on ‘I’, Kendrick is scheduled to release his sophomore album later on this year and will follow up from his 2012 debut ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’. 

In the meantime, enjoy Kendrick Lamar's new record below. How do you feel about it? Let me know your thoughts!

New Music: SZA - Childs Play ft. Chance the Rapper

In case you haven't met her or you're still yet to be introduced - SZA is the newest signed artist to Kendrick Lamar's 'TDE' record label, she is unmissable, and she is the first lady!

SZA who unlike the rest in the group is not a rapper, but a singer has a very sensual and soothing voice to the ears is set to release her debut album ‘Z’ - on April 8.

Unveiling ‘Childs Play’ produced by XXYYXX, she features Chance the Rapper on the song and the pair surely do make sweet music together, as SZA takes control of the song before Chance the Rapper comes in with a rap-singing verse and they marinate their way to the end of the song together.

‘Childs Play’ is convinced to have your finger on the repeat button. Increase your volume, kick back and prepare to be wowed by the sweet vocals of SZA on ‘Childs Play’. Look out for her new album ‘Z’ out April 8.

New Video: Pusha T - Nosetalgia ft. Kendrick Lamar

Just before the release of Pusha T's anticipated debut album ‘MMIMN’, he drops the video to ‘Nosetalgia’.

Pusha took it to the streets of Compton to shoot this music video with Kendrick Lamar - on 134th and Piru, where Kendrick Lamar used to kick it; back in his hay days.

‘MMIMN’ is due on October 8 and features collaborations from Chris Brown, Kevin Cossom, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, The-Dream, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Pharrell and many more.

New Video: Robin Thicke - Give It 2 U (Remix) ft. 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar

Robin Thicke is enjoying the continued success of his ‘Blurred Lines’ album, after it debuted at #1 on the UK and Scottish charts.

Thicke and his other companions - 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar all huddle up together for the video to ‘Give It 2 U’ remix. One of the many song favourites off the LP.

With non-stop dancing in the video from beginning to end, and a lively 2 Chainz and K.Dot who also appear in the video. This is one of the most creative videos of the year. Thought was definitely put into the making of this video. Robin Thicke's son - Julian even makes his debut in the Diane Martel cut.

This video is bound to have one of your limbs moving, watch below and see why it's such a fan favourite.

New Music: Big Sean - Control ft. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica

Kendrick Lamar gives the industry a little wake and shake up on his verse on Big Sean's new song ‘Control’. The seven-and-a-half-minute song did not make the Big Sean's forthcoming album ‘Hall of Fame’.

Big Sean and Jay Electronica go off in their verses in the cut produced by No I.D, but it's Kendrick Lamar's verse that has the people talking.

K Dot takes a shot at fellow rappers and friends where he raps:

"I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' with

But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is

And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big Krit, Wale, Pusha T, Meek Mill,

A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron, Tyler, Mac Miller

I got love for you but I'm trynna murder you niggas.

Trynna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas.

They don't wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas!"

Well, there you have it. It's a shame that this song did not make the album. Personally, I just think Kendrick is telling other rappers to step their game up... And after this verse, so they should!

But some might take it personal - and like Kenya Moore..

Take a listen to ‘Control’, who had the best verse? Should it have made the final cut on ‘Hall of Fame’?

New Video: ScHoolboy Q - Collard Greens ft. Kendrick Lamar

It feels as if we've been waiting for ScHoolboy Q's debut for a while now. As we wait for the release of that, he has unveils the video to his newest single ‘Collard Greens’ where he calls on TDE label mate - Kendrick Lamar who features on the song.

The video includes a cameo appearance from Macklemore and will appear on ScHoolboy Q's debut album Oxymoron.

Turn UP!

New Music: Ab-Soul - Christopher DRONEr

The TDE gang are holding down the fort with their new music. Ab-Soul refers to Kanye's single ‘New Slaves’, in his new track ‘Christopher DRONEr’ - which he names after the Los Angeles police officer who earlier on this year, went on a killing spree.

Ab-Soul will release new material soon, alongside ScHoolboy Q!

New Video: Kendrick Lamar - B*tch Don't Kill My Vibe

Death to Molly.

TDE rapper Kendrick Lamar premiered his new video to the latest single "B*tch Don't Kill My Vibe" off his album "good kid, m.A.A.d. city".

A lot of rappers have recently been sugar-coating the MDMA drug "molly" and been expressing it in their songs. But Kendrick Lamar takes a spin on the whole "molly" situation that has been idolized with this new video to "B*tch Don't Kill My Vibe". 

Dressed in all white - he and his friends are at a Church service for a funeral but then their mood quickly changes when they all enter a limo and get "turn up", whilst they all head to the hills for the burial. Of who? I dunno.

As the video goes on we see Comedian Mike Epps who baptizes Kendrick is a pool full of liquor, then later on striking poses in front of a white casket. Later on in the video we see at the end that the screen appears black and the words "death to molly" appear.

Maybe this new video will raise awareness that the MDMA drug is very serious. I love the message behind the new video... Good on you K.Dot!

New Video: T.I., B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar & Kris Stephens - Memories Back Then

'Memories Back Then' one of the hottest songs out right now from T.I., B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar and new face and sound to the music industry Kris Stephens; has finally got a video to it.

The video was released yesterday via T.I.'s VEVO channel on YouTube and was shot in the West Coast - Los Angeles. In this Phillyflyboy directed flip, the crew hit up the Santa Monica Pier, 6th Street Bridge downtown later on all meeting up in the Hollywood Hills.

T.I., B.o.B and Kendrick Lamar all rap and share personal experiences about women in their past that they were involved with. I love the flair that Kris Stephens brings to this song.

T.I.'s Hustle Gang will be releasing a new compilation album and a mixtape before the year ends. 

New Video: Miguel - How Many Drinks? (Remix) ft. Kendrick Lamar

I was cheesing so hard when I was watching this new music video from Miguel and Kendrick Lamar to How Many Drinks? From the beginning to end - all my concentration was on this new video, I am so in love with Miguel's music and the same with Kendrick Lamar's. And the fact that they've come together on ONE track... Lawd!

Both artists are totally winning musically and I'm happy to be a fan of them both. Miguel and Kendrick Lamar give us a live performance in this new video to How Many Drinks? with a band and backup singers. They both have fun in this video as they rap/sing each others lyrics.

This is the third single off Miguel's sophomore album Kaleidoscope Dream.
