New Music: Jill Scott f/ Eve – ‘Shame’
Jill Scott keeps it funky on the Eve-assisted “Shame,” the lead single off her fourth album The Light of the Sun. The self-love anthem sees the Philly duo doing their thing over a horn-laced backing track as they sass about their queendom.
New Video: Nas & Damian Marley – ‘Land of Promise’
Nas and Damian Marley take it to the streets in the video for “Land of Promise” featuring Dennis Brown, the latest release from their joint album Distant Relatives. The rap and reggae stars invade Jamaica in the balmy clip, posting up in front of a graffiti portrait of Brown and mingling with the locals.
While the duo is currently touring in Europe, Nas is trying to etch time into his schedule to follow up with his next solo LP. “I got two [songs]. I’m just starting,” he revealed on BBC Radio 1Xtra. “It’s definitely a nice focus right now, the stuff I started on. I’m happy. I’m excited. I can’t wait.”
Nicki Minaj Goes Glam for Elle Magazine
Nicki Minaj strikes a bold pose, wearing a Mark Fast knit minidress and Maison Martin Margiela bodysuit, in a black-and-white photo for Elle’s Music Issue, on newsstands April 12. In the interview, hip-hop’s Queen speaks about competing with her male peers.
“I always wanted to play with the boys,” she tells the magazine. “I didn’t want to be a pawn in their game or have a sidekick role. I wanted to be more of a lead character—a superhero.”
Teyana Taylor Gets Grown & Sexy
New Video: Kelly Rowland f/ Lil Wayne – ‘Motivation’
Kelly Rowland makes us sweat with the Sarah Chatfield-directed video for “Motivation,” the lead single from her third album, due later this summer. The Destiny’s Child diva sizzles as she seduces her male co-stars, dancing to choreographer Frank Gatson’s slick moves in a dark, underground warehouse where sex oozes from every corner. Lil Wayne drops by to spit his verse, but it’s Kelly who steals this show.
“‘Motivation’ makes me feel extremely, über-duber sexy,” the R&B chanteuse told MTV News. “It has that personality and characteristic to it that I don’t think anybody can deny. That’s why when Wayne dropped that insane verse on there … I was like, ‘You really brought that up even more.’ He went into the studio and just did it. I don’t think it takes much for Wayne to think. He just does it. He’s so admirable.”
