It’s an all-Philly affair as R&B singer Sterling Simms and one of hip-hop’s, let alone Maybach Music’s, hottest names Meek Mill connect for “Tell Her Again”, the first single off Simms’ upcoming album on RCA/Stereotypes Music.

After giving Maybach Music‘s “Bag of Money” and LoveRance‘s “Up!” a fresh crooning sound (a less auto-tuned one in the case of Wale, Meek Mill and Rozay‘s hit), Trigga returns for his third installment as he breathes a melodic R&B rhythm [...]

To no surprise, B.o.B. is giving his Nicki Minaj-assisted “Out of My Mind” hit, taken from his sophomore album, Strange Clouds, its visual certification. But as is customary these days, before we get to see the full music video, we’re treated to some footage from behind the scenes of the shoot. Acclaimed director Benny Boom [...]
