Chris Brown’s raps will soon have a home. The singer has announced plans to release a hip-hop mixtape called Boy in Detention.

Breezy took to Twitter to share the news with his fans. “New(chris brown) hip hop mixtape called ‘Boy In Detention’ coming soon!” he wrote.

He has released several R&B mixtapes in the past, including last year’s Fan of a Fan, In My Zone, and In My Zone 2, but this will mark his first full rap release.

“And people… Yes I’m a singer so if this mixtape doesn’t reach your quota for hip hop! Simply don’t listen,” he forewarned skeptics.

The 22-year-old star has been brushing up on his rhyme skills in the last week with the release of freestyles “Real Hip-Hop Shit # 3” and “Real Hip-Hop Shit #4” produced by 9th Wonder.

R. Kelly has been forced to take a break from touring as he undergoes emergency throat surgery.

“R&B superstar R. Kelly will be laid up for an indefinite amount of time after undergoing an emergency procedure at Northwestern Memorial Hospital yesterday to drain an abscess on one of his tonsils,” stated his rep.

The 44-year-old entertainer had visited a throat specialist after complaining of severe throat pain. After a preliminary exam, he was rushed to Northwestern Memorial for the procedure.

It is not known when Kelly, who recently wrapped the U.S. leg of his worldwide “Love Letter” tour, will return to the stage. He had to cancel a show scheduled for Friday at the Reggae Sumfest festival in Jamaica.

“I’d like to thank everybody for their love, concern and support. I WILL BE BACK!” tweeted Kellz.

Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown recently revealed she is mulling an offer to appear on the cover of Playboy magazine.

Foxy Brown broke the news during an interview with the New York Post on Sunday (July 17th).

According to Foxy, Hugh Hefner made her an offer of $2 million to pose for the cover of Playboy.

Reps for Playboy refused to confirm or deny the news.

“Unfortunately, we never comment on who may or may not be appearing on our covers, that’s been our policy,” Playboy spokesperson Abbie O’Neill told the Associated Press. “But if anything changes, we will let you know.”

During the interview, Foxy Brown said that out of all of her legal troubles, her most recent incident for allegedly “mooning” her neighbor bothered her the most.

“I’m cut from a different cloth,” Foxy said. “I would never moon someone. I was raised in a good family.”

In related news, Foxy Brown said that she was pending a memoir about her life and fame titled “A Gift and a Curse.”

DMX is free once again. The notorious rapper was released from an Arizona prison this morning after serving six months behind bars for a probation violation.

 X, born Earl Simmons, was upbeat upon exiting the facility and was already planning to get back to music. “I’m feeling good, I’m feeling real good,” he told AllHipHop.com. “I’m gonna see my daughter, I just got off the phone with my wife. I’m going to see my daughter while the sun is up then I’m in the studio, man.”

DMX’s prison stay was lengthened by a week after he was caught in violation of multiple disciplinary infractions including drug possession, failing or refusing a drug test, unauthorized smoking, being disrespectful, and disorderly conduct.

According to a press release issued by his label United Music & Media Group, he plans to collaborate with major names in music over the next couple of months and release “hard-hitting rap music that will leave no question as to who truly is the king of rap.”

“Earl has so much more to offer the world,” stated his rep Nakia Walker. “His latest project has been on hold for so long! It is now time for X to redefine the world of hip-hop with his highly-anticipated album of inspirational, painful, and street-accredited rhymes. It is time to let the Dog out of the kennel.”

Excerpt  from Complex Magazine:

Who runs the pop world? Beyoncé. After a year away to spread her wings, Queen Bey is back to reclaim her throne.

Conventional wisdom holds that people should be afraid of turning 30. It’s the dreaded age when the biological clock starts tickin’ with the menace of a time bomb. Thirty is the point at which someone can call a woman “old”—and she will actually believe it. Conventional wisdom says that turning 16, 18, and 21 kicks ass. Turning 30 kicks rocks.

Of course conventional wisdom isn’t all that wise. Thirty ain’t all that bad. (In truth, women tend to be the most well-rounded and sexiest during their 30s. #justsayin) Still, it has a way of focusing people. Beyoncé Giselle Knowles turns 30 in September. She’s acutely aware of time slipping into the future. Her ticking clock, however, has nothing to do with insecure thoughts of feeling old or washed up. Not by a long shot.

No, Beyoncé is in a race against time because of a simple, bluntly put question: Where the f*&k does she go from here? What does thirtysomething feel like if you’ve accomplished everything most people could ever dream of—wealth, fame, artistic accolades, love—in your teens and twenties?
