Despite “Suit & Tie” receiving mixed reactions from fans and critics, JT’s comeback record has sold over 314K copies to date. The smooth number seems like it’s destined for a slow burn that will last for months. Hopefully, we’ll get real visuals but for now Justin takes lyric videos one step up and stars in his own. If you blink too fast near the end, you miss the clever discreet announcement that his first album is seven years drops on March 19.

Frenchy and his Coke Boyz crew street anthem “I’m A Coke Boy” has been bubbling in the Tri-state for months now. The hood clubs and mix show has been eating this one up. But thanks to some major league assistance from Rozay and Diddy the dope dealer ode may end up on top 40 stations. (Props to Flex)

‘Tis the season that rappers become wrappers and our instagram timeline gets inundated with warm holiday spirit. Pulling from the cutest moments captured on phone, our photo round-up finds Young Jeezy spending Christmas at a children’s toy drive, Tity Boi‘s little girl opening a sea of presents, Big Sean flying home to his dad and brother in the D, and Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose showing us that love is one powerful legalized drug. Christmas Day also further complicated some love triangles. Or, at least, the only one we care about right now: RiRi-Breezy-Karrueche. Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted courtside of the Lakers/Knicks Xmas game after they snapped a super editorial pic together with the caption “ThugLife #merryChristmas.” And that’s all square and cute, except Karrueche shared a scantily clad “Christmas” photo allegedly intended for Breezy. Ay, yi, yi…

MMG’s resident crooner is back with his first mixtape under the tutelage of Rick Ross. In my opinion Omarion really made Self Made Vol. 2 complete. His vocals helped bring cohesiveness to the compilation. Now with help from Problem, Tank, Joe Budden, Trae The Truth and Wale, the kid presents Care Package.

Outkast’s Big Boi is on the verge of releasing his second solo album, Viscous Lies & Dangerous Rumors, on Dec. 11. After spilling the beans on a special collaboration he knocked out with A$AP Rocky, Stereogum comes through with the full track. It’s definitely on that intergalactic planetary vibe. Space suit not included.

Fans who were expecting Lil’ Wayne’s new album will have to wait a little more longer. Billboard confirms that Weezy’s forthcoming I Am Not A Human Being II has been pushed back to 2013. Originally set to drop on November 13th, the album lead by the singles “My Homes Still” and “No Worries” had a new release date of December 11th. Considering his recent health issues, this news shouldn’t come as a complete shock.

Sean Price keeps it gritty as usual for his new single, “Bar-Barian.” Produced by The Alchemist, the track is filled with witty punchlines and funny one-liners. The new banger is off of Sean P’s forthcoming album Mic Tyson, due October 30.

Out of nowhere! Here is Meek’s highly anticipated posse cut from Dreams & Nightmares. As someone who has heard the album, I have to say that this track is rare glimmer in the project’s overall feel. I wouldn’t say the album is dark but Meek definitely keeps it “street” for 95% of the project.

Complex and one of our friendly sponsors, Bud Light Platinum, put together some interesting content to help promote their new campaign. Everything is based on different aspects of club culture. One thing we really liked was their profile on our girl Vashtie, and a history of club fashions.

According to the Bud Light Platinum Lifestyle blog, nightclub wear originated from the 70s disco movement, when club go-ers wanted to be comfortable and funky. As a result, the main materials used  for most club attire was spandex, polyester, or rayon.Taking cues from David Bowie and  the androgynous culture, both males and females wore similar outfits out, like high-waisted bell bottoms and crazy latex leggings. The experimental fashion inspired much of what we see in nightclubs today.
