God truly hears and answers prayers.  This may be the only chance we ever get to hear Karen Clark Sheard and Beyonce on the same track but we'll take it.  Via That Grape Juice:  Just days after sister Solange paid homage to gospel legend Karen Clark Sheard‘s ‘Balm In Gilead’ on Instagram (click here if you missed that), Jay Z and Beyonce show off their Clark Sister knowledge by sampling the legendary group’s tune ‘Ha Ya (Eternal Life)’ for his 13th studio album, ‘4:44’ [available on Tidal now].

It used to be the Source Awards that everything popped off, but BET is trying to up the ante this year.  Lil Kim was robbed, Meek Mill and Sarafee fighting and now this.  

Fan favorite (and ours too) Shea Coulee is not letting not winning stop her slayage as this week she surprised fans with not one, not two but three new songs and videos.

The tracks are off of her new EP, entitled Couleé-D, featuring a total of eleven tracks.

‘This experience of the show airing is coming to an end, but it’s really just the beginning,’ Couleé told OUT.

‘There’s so many projects and appearances… there’s travel dates that are just coming up after the finale. I’m about to go on tour to 34 different cities.’

Hey I'm Rio and this is a song that I wrote and arranged in support and dedication to all of the Pulse victims who passed on that fatal day 6/12/2016. This song to me is their voice and represents strength and resilience to show the way in how they lived their live's with such courage and unapologetically, and to all of the underdogs out there FUCK trying to make everyone feel comfortable with who you are!! Just live your life, they will catch up sooner or later!!

Fly Young Red is an LGBT artist that created this song to raise awareness in the Trans community about the dangers that the face in everyday life. #bringbackourgirls #translivesmatter

We did Prince Airwick, we went all the way awf! 

 From Fader:

In "Go Awf!" Prince Airick is the king of the ball. Teaming up with Kevin JZ Prodigy, the DMV artist's latest visual shows him seated in an elaborate throne and represents his "dream world," where voguing and bright costumes are spotlighted as a means of self-expression.

Singer and actress Brandy popped off  on Instagram a few days ago – after fans started calling her new baby’s father Sir The Baptist “gay.” Brandy claimed that she’s a “G” and that the fan should “respect” her.

We think the lady doth pertest too much.  Does she really need to respond? 

Its like my 90's Female Rap dream come true!  Missy dropped a remix to her hit song "I'm Better" with a who's who of female rap legends.  Lil Kim, Eve and Trina all have verses on the track and its everything you want and more.  

We hope a video is coming for this! 

That ArQuez reign just won't let up.  His new track "I Hope You Ready" is a banger with raunchy lyrics and a catchy hook.  Its going to get a lot of play over here.  

In a moment that is sure to put a smile on a lot of 80's and 90's baby faces, Mary J Blige and Lil Kim reunited for a performance of their '97 smash hit "I Can Love You"  Iconic doesn't even begin to describe this.  Take a look below.
