After having a successful album with Future History,Jason Derulo makes that album Reloaded. Reloaded is remixes of the whole track list ofFuture History to give listeners more Jason Derulo in a different style.
Pop star Ke$ha said she “wanted to get gangsta” on her latest remix with Sleazy REMIX 2.0 Get Sleazier, and she did just that by adding four of the biggest rappers right now. Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., and Andre 3000 all join her for this remix and it’s looking to be a monstrous track.
Speaking of hip-hop stars, 50 Cent gives his latest single Wait Until Tonight. The track here is a laid back love ballad that has the internet going crazy for it. After becoming the most followed hip-hop artist of Twitter, Nicki Minaj releases her latest single Stupid Hoe. This is classic Nicki Minaj and is said to be a diss to her predecessor Lil Kim. Atlanta teams up when B.O.B enlists Andre 3000 for his latest single Play The Guitar. The song here has a bluesy guitar riff and high-tempo beat that works well for both artists.
