Zayn - "Still Got TIme" featuring PartyNextDoor

Zayn Malik has been quite a tease as of late, dropping all kinds of vague hints on social media and building up the anticipation surrounding the still-obscure details behind his currently untitled follow-up to his debut solo album, Mind of Mine. Taking to Twitter earlier this week, the former One Direction member shared that he and OVO heavyweight PartyNextDoor have officially joined forces, unveiling a 10-second taste of their recent collaboration while reassuring fans the track will be released soon. As it turns out, Zayn has since made nice on his promise, keeping his word and dropping the song merely days after initially revealing its intriguing existence. With their collaboration, "Still Got Time," the two have created quite the jovial dance-friendly tune, full of playful reminders that there's still plenty of time and ample opportunities to fall in love. The feel-good nature of the song highlights the talents of both musicians beautifully, with Zayn's buttery-smooth voice finding a happy home along with PND's honed Caribbean-influenced sound. The new track marks the first release with Zayn in the driver's seat since his 2016 solo debut and arrives after the 24-year-old lent his sharp expertise to artists such as M.I.A., Snakeships, Lil Wayne, Usher and Chris Brown over the course of the past year. While 1D fans still eagerly wait for the other members to drop individual projects of their own, Zayn is busy stretching and warming up to take his second victory lap with the release of his sophomore album fast approaching. With "Still Got Time" as any indication, Zayn’s new music is going to be well worth the wait. 

Mike Will Made It - “Perfect Pint” - album Ransom 2

Mike Will Made It is certifiably plaque hungry. Except this time around, the Atlanta hitmaker is focused on further establishing his own legacy. While the esteemed producer has lent his talents to the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Rae Sremmurd, Ciara, Miley Cyrus, Juicy J, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne and a plethora of others in the past, his new album is a testament to the fact that you get back what you give, with a star-studded array of guest features now returning the favor. The impressive collection of twenty polished tracks arrives as a follow-up to his 2014 album Ransom, and this time around, the sky truly is the limit for the brilliant songwriter. With some of the industry's heaviest hitters blessing his project, including Kendrick Lamar, Future, Rihanna, Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, Big Sean, Migos, Young Thug, YG, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Chief Keef and more, Ransom 2 is gearing up to rival even the most lit of carefully curated party playlists impressively as a standalone project. In the producer's own words, the album is "the soundtrack of the culture," and now that the highly anticipated body of work has officially arrived, we fully understand what Mike Will was getting at by making such a bold declaration. With standout tracks such as "On the Come Up," "Come Down," "Nothing is Promised" and "Aries (YuGo) already on regular rotation for his ever-growing fanbase, Ransom 2 is a project not only demanding of a full top-to-bottom listen but will also likely have listeners repeatedly running it back straight through to the summer months and beyond. With his Gucci Mane, Rae Sremmurd and Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Perfect Pint” enhancing our New Music Friday playlist this week, it's without a doubt that Mike Will Made It is fully embodying what Pharrell himself advises on their uplifting and motivational collaboration: "I believe in miracles / But I don't believe in waiting for 'em / You gotta make that s**t happen."

Trey Songz - “Come Over” - album Tremaine

After a slew of devastating tragedies dominated news headlines this past week in particular, the soothing power behind Trey Songz's voice is definitely what the self-care doctor ordered. While music in general has long has been associated with inspiring introspective healing, R&B is no exception, with the genre historically gravitating towards pulling at the heartstrings and encouraging an honest embrace of various emotions at their purest, thus resulting in some of the most sensitive and soul-baring songs ever composed. With Trey Songz's seventh studio offering, Tremaine, the singer draws from the strongest plays in his trusty melodic arsenal, delivering a project of pure and unadulterated R&B carefully designed to get his fans deep in their feelings, such as with the refreshingly straightforward confessional “Come Over.” Throughout the album's fifteen tracks, the 32-year-old continues to hone his knack for crafting lustful, sensual songs that not only demonstrate his impressive vocal range but also highlight his celebrated songwriting talents and his tried-and-true ability to sing as if he's directly addressing every listener individually. Reputed as R&B's nice guy and much to the delight of his fans, Songz puts his heart on his sleeve once again, exploring the all-too-familiar themes surrounding the complicated tales of modern desires and unrequited romances. With tracks such as "Nobody Else But You" previously appearing on our New Music Friday playlist and "Playboy" already garnering over five million streams, the Grammy Award-winning singer is well on his way to stealing our full attention once again and is doing so without enlisting the help of any featured guests. With Tremaine, we are treated to Trey Songz in his most authentic form, further proving that despite baring so much of his soul in the past, the hopeless-yet-seasoned romantic still has plenty left to selflessly give.

David Guetta - "Light My Body Up" featuring Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne

With over three decades honing his talents as a record producer, remixer and songwriter, it's safe to say that at this stage in his decorated career, David Guetta knows exactly which direction to take when it comes to working with specific heavyweight artists, such as Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. While the Grammy Award-winner's latest single, "Light My Body Up," isn't his first time working closely with either artist, the collaboration does help build a spirited case that in the studio, the seemingly unlikely collaborators have a special chemistry that shines through regardless of which particular style of music Guetta happens to be experimenting with at the time. On "Light My Body Up," Minaj takes the lead over a rolling electro-fused beat, flexing her vocals both by singing and rapping, paving the way for her Young Money affiliate to weave in a short-but-sweet -- and, at times, boldly provocative -- guest verse dripping in syrupy Auto-Tune. The fierce, uptempo track is destined to be a smash in the club scene, with Guetta's expert ability to craft theatrical peaks and valleys adding to the song's intoxicating quality. As Minaj spits a coolheaded verse that is sure to have some interpreting certain lines as another subliminal blow to Remy Ma, she then goes on to further utilize her razor-sharp word play to cleverly shout out the French EDM legend, spitting, "No, she’ll never be queen, so now she got a vendetta / I ain’t talkin’ ’bout David, when I say I’ma Guetta." Considering the pair's most successful record together, 2012's "Turn Me On," peaked at the No. 4 slot on the Billboard Hot 100, this latest entry in the David-Nicki catalog just may lead them to repeating history together once again and help Minaj continue her recent winning streak atop the charts, with Weezy's contribution helping to tie the authoritative banger into a nice little bow. Talk about #SquadGoals.

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill - "Speak to a Girl"

At this point in their own respective pioneering careers, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill no longer have to prove themselves to any unconvinced critic. With their collective trophy cases filled to the brim and their individual legacies permanently secured in history, what remains is a truly rare and liberating freedom to create music entirely and genuinely from the depths of their souls. As the two have long been in the business of creating emotive, timeless ballads, the country icons are currently pouring their hearts into a project that feels immensely long overdue: their first official duets album. For the first taste of their forthcoming joint project -- a surprisingly new endeavor for the couple despite numerous collaborations over the years -- the husband-wife duo have released "Speak to a Girl," an important anthem full of necessary and timely lessons regarding how to properly treat females with the utmost respect. With Hill's powerful vocals the first to bless the song, she dives right into the nitty gritty, detailing the non-debatable reminder of how to simultaneously speak to and value a woman. As McGraw echoes her sentiments and the two trade verses, the strikingly beautiful message behind the song emerges as the essential focal point, with a no-frills melody softly building a humble foundation that particularly allows Hill to shine. While the song doesn't navigate too far from either musician's comfort zones, the passion behind their delivery is what elevates the track to an exemplary level, standing as a strong and influential addition to their ever-growing collection of undeniably celebrated collaborations. While their upcoming album currently is without a title or a release date, the veteran musicians will perform “Speak to a Girl” for the first time during the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards on April 2. Given its composition and message, and not to mention Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's incredible chemistry, this song is sure to create a moment of empowerment when performed in front of a live audience for the first time.

Blink 182 - "Parking Lot"

A lot has changed since the pop-punk veterans fondly known as Blink-182 first laced up their Chuck Taylor high tops, turned the volume all the way up and recorded their first low-fi demos in the early '90s. Fast forward through two decades worth of heavily touring, releasing six studio albums and re-emerging years after an "indefinite hiatus," and it's undeniable the group has since gone on to solidify its legacy as one of the most influential punk bands of all time. Although the group has come a long way since it's humble beginnings in San Diego and has overcome several transitions, their ability to compose new music without abandoning their own distinctive and infectious brand of pop-punk remains expertly iconic, as exemplified time and time again throughout the years. After founding member Tom DeLonge left the group in 2015 and Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba later assumed the role of lead vocalist/guitarist, the trio prepared their official comeback album last year, unleashing California, a 16-track project that went on to become the group's second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and their first in 15 years. In addition to snagging those impressive accolades, the album's lead single "Bored to Death" helped land the trio their first No. 1 single in a dozen years. Building off of that momentum, Blink-182 this week announced they will be releasing a deluxe edition of 2016's California on May 19. To sweeten the deal, the trio also released their latest angst-filled and guitar-packed offering, "Parking Lot," an ode to drinking on trains, spending the good ole' days loitering and navigating how suburbia and nostalgia somehow can go hand-in-hand at times, all while paying homage to the Violent Femmes and the Smiths. According to Blink-182 themselves, "Parking Lot" will be joined by 11 other brand new tracks, as well as an acoustic version of "Bored to Death." Yup, much like the band is calling it, this deluxe album just might save mankind after all.

Frank Ocean - "Chanel"

Frank Ocean surprised his ever-growing fan base this week, by way of releasing a new single that is both a thrilling glimpse inside his animated and stimulated mind and another strong addition to his hypnotic catalog. The contemplative track, "Chanel," marks his first solo release since last summer's Blonde and Endless, arriving just weeks after the R&B singer lent his talents to Calvin Harris, alongside Migos, for their beyond well-received collaboration, "Slide." As Ocean continues to explore themes of duality, something he has frequently pondered and played with throughout his storied career, he travels mystically through the lyrical ground he covers, comfortably existing somewhere between questioning a lucid dream and trying to accept the at-times uncertain reality that comes with his status as a celebrity. While he touches on his fluid sexuality, the danger that comes with abusing lean, the desire for acceptance, the temptations behind new money and sharing the wealth, Ocean appears to be both lost and found at the same time, adding to the song's intoxicating nature. With his wit as sharp as ever, he manages to subtly shout out Cam'Ron, reference a 21 Savage meme and even find a way to make a Walkman relevant in the year 2017. As he croons on the auto-tuned chorus, "I see both sides like Chanel, see on both sides like Chanel," he helps set the framework for what some are saying is his most dualistic work to date. Interestingly enough, what may have initially been a simple nod to the luxury fashion house ended up making its way into the iconic brand's own hands as well, with Chanel incorporating his lyrics into their own marketing campaign and igniting all sorts of rumors that Ocean will be collaborating with the legendary French company in a more substantial way. After all, the mysterious recording artist himself can be the first to remind us, weirder things have happened.

G-Eazy & Kehlani - "Good Life"

G-Eazy and Kehlani's recent collaboration shouldn't come off as too much of a surprise pairing, especially considering both artists hail from the Bay Area and have joined forces musically in the past, such as with 2015's "Everything Will Be OK." Their second time linking on a track doubles as a bit of a victory lap, with both celebrating their continuous glo-up and toasting to what lies ahead. As each incessantly develop their own burgeoning careers with passion and gratitude, the fact that their latest song is featured on the Fate and the Furious' official soundtrack further proves that the West Coast artists respectably have come a long way since their mutually humble beginnings. The track "Good Life" embodies its title, with Kehlani offering her talents on the hook while G-Eazy details his recent accomplishments, such as telling his "moms not to stress no more / Go hit the Bentley store and credit card debts no more." For the eighth installment of the acclaimed film franchise and its accompanying soundtrack, both of which are slated to drop on April 14, G-Eazy and Kehlani are joined by a who's-who array of artists, including the likes of Pitbull, Wiz Khalifa, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, Migos, Lil Yachty and more. As Kehlani sings, "Raise a cup up for all my day ones / Two middle fingers for the haters / Life’s only getting greater," one can only imagine what scene these unapologetic declarations are going to soundtrack. While many say the best revenge is living well, G-Eazy and Kehlani are living proof, and much like the inevitable banger suggests, they've got the paper to prove it.

Linkin Park - "Battle Symphony"

Linkin Park today returns to our New Music Friday playlist once again, unveiling another single from their forthcoming seventh studio album, One More Light. While the group's lead single "Heavy" leans more towards pop than it does their signature rock sound, the follow-up single "Battle Symphony" sounds a bit closer to what fans associate Linkin Park with, but is still following in the new direction the band promised majority of the new album would go in. As fans open up to their evolving sound, a recent experiment further proved that when it comes to Linkin Park, one of the biggest bands in the world, their songwriting and musicianship cannot be denied. For the experiment, teenagers of today listened to the band's new material without being told who created it beforehand, with many surprised to learn Linkin Park was behind what they just rocked out to, especially considering some of the work that carried the group into legendary status is at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to their new material. However, as "Battle Symphony" further proves, a great song is a great song even if the band's diehard fans may still be less than open to their newfound style. The song is a mid-tempo anthem that features lead vocalist Chester Bennington belting out an encouraging story of perseverance almost guaranteed to get listeners to sing along by the second listen. With Linkin Park's new era set to begin on May 19, there's a strong chance this uplifting tune may get stuck in your head until the album officially arrives.

Mansionz - "Dennis Rodman" featuring Dennis Rodman

While there are over two dozen tributes to Dennis Rodman currently available on Spotify, arguably more than enough to make a meaty playlist that could potentially even feature artists such as Migos and Crystal Waters, the latest nod to the basketball great curiously enough also features the legend himself. To have a track titled "Dennis Rodman" featuring Dennis Rodman on your discography is truly baller status (literally) and the newcomer duo known as Mansionz can happily say they've achieved such epicness. The duo, comprised of singer-songwriter Mike Posner and producer-singer blackbear, not only has linked up with Dennis Rodman, but the track is as quirky and eccentric as the former NBA player is reputed to be. With bouncy, twangy electric guitar riffs and chirpy percussion leading the way, what was originally written as a poem takes on a new form, with all three blessing the strange-in-the-best-way song and encouraging the confidently vibrant Rodman to "talk yo s**t." The track boasts individuality, both in the melodies and in the lyrics, with the infectious hook stating, "I'm gon' do whatever it is I want to, baby / I'm gon' do whatever it is I feel / I don't care 'bout who's watching / Dennis Rodman." As the lyrics follow such a celebrated and necessary theme of staying true to one's self, green hair and fishnets included, the sassy, not-so-serious song has an undeniable ability to win over even the most hesitant of ears. With the group gaining momentum leading up to the release of their debut album, mansionz greatest hits, due out next Friday (March 24), this song is destined to help the duo captivate new fans and echo Posner's own sentiments with Mansionz truly becoming your new favorite band.

#Repost BET.com: NOLA Rapper Pell Has Gone From 'Floating While Dreaming' to Living Out His Dreams

Originally posted on BET.com.

Some people are destined to leave behind a routine nine-to-five job at one point or another during their lifetimes, choosing bravely to step out into the unknown in order to take a chance on a dream. For many creative souls, it's part of the journey to endure what most everyone else has to, such as clocking in to earn an honest living for a company frustratingly unrelated to your true goals and working day and night to figure out your own unique path to happiness.

For 24-year-old recording and Red Bull Sound Select artist Pell, working at a hometown dollar store helped open his eyes to see the bigger picture he had been envisioning for his life all along. Fast-forward to 2017 and he's now experiencing the exact circumstances surrounding what he once used to daydream about while working his bland day job. While his newfound reality is one full of late night studio sessions, frequent travel opportunities and collaborating with the likes of G-Eazy, Pell's ability to embrace and accept his humble beginnings as part of his story adds to his inspiring charm as a musician.

With his ode to transitioning into being an independent artist, a single aptly titled "Dollar Store," now an integral part of his growing catalog, Pell has since gone on to overcome the growing pains that come during the beginning stages of a budding rap career and is eagerly anticipating the fact that doors he's knocked on for years are now finally beginning to open. Navigating somewhere between an independent artist established in the underground and an artist strategically close to breaking through to a mainstream audience is a process that he cherishes, as well as understands. Lightheartedly referring to his forthcoming album as a "pregnancy in the third trimester," Pell accepts the fact that greatness can’t be rushed and that his best work is created when he can give it his undivided attention, much like a proud parent gives a newborn.

His newest records, "Late at Night" (feat. MNEK) and "Patient" are a great place to first become acquainted with Pell's infectious and intriguing sound, further proving that he’s continuing to evolve the "dream rap" category music critics have long tied him to. When revisiting his 2014 debut album, Floating While Dreaming, many sounds may feel eerily familiar to what a handful of today’s top musicians are currently doing, creating a strong argument that the music Pell was creating was a couple years ahead of its time.

With artists such as Chance the Rapper, Anderson .Paak, GoldLink and more delicately layering electronic-infused melodies over airy beats and balancing rapping with occasional singing and overall curating a feel-good soundscape, the genre is finding continued success in the mainstream space. While Pell's humble, optimistic and insightful nature has him at peace with others being inspired directly by his distinctive sound, the shift stylistically poises a question for the NOLA recording artist regarding which direction he'll take his music next. Will he continue to develop his signature sound? Or will he take his talents in a completely different musical direction entirely?

Luckily for fans and for the musician himself, removing the art of experimenting organically in the studio was never and will never be an option for him. Call it whatever you'd like, Pell is in the business of making timeless music and is here to honor whatever creative path his artistry takes him down next, all while staying true to his authentic self.

BET.com caught up with Pell following a slew of performances curated by Red Bull Sound Select to chat about where he's been and where he's heading next.

What's your day to day like these days?

I try to go to the studio for at least four to six hours a day. If I'm not doing that, I'm usually traveling. Working with Red Bull has been pretty cool because, since I’m independent, we’re able to do one-off shows. Other than that, I’m left to my own devices. I’ll usually pack in studio sessions, photo shoots, touch base with my manager and assistant and discuss creative ideas with my team. I usually am a bit of a recluse but my New Year’s resolution has been to go to at least five to 10 shows a month. You have to break routine and be social in order to grow.

Do you feel you are built for the fast-paced life of a recording artist? Is there anything you’ve learned over the years that you wish you knew when you were first starting out?

I feel like I was definitely built for this because of the joy that it brings me. What I wish I knew back then is that, among your routine, you need to try and find as much balance as possible. I know that balance is something that's damn near impossible in this profession [laughs] but having some sort of duality in one’s life is really important. To be able to put in all this work and at the same time to be able to soak in all these new influences and see other people's processes and do all these other things outside of my career, it's difficult. It’s a demanding career. But at the same time, I try and tell myself to try and find as much balance as possible because you always want to have as many perspectives on what you're doing and where you're headed. You also want to make sure you avoid getting in your own head too much as much as possible.

What are you currently working on?

I'm working on my next album right now. I'm heavy into trying to work on my own production and trying to get better with that, too. A lot of that is going to be showcased in this new project and I’ve been working with somebody I'm really close to, Billy Delulles. I pretty much dove into working on production since my headlining tour last year.

I definitely treat my projects like babies in the sense that it takes nine months to complete type of thing. Using that metaphor, I’d say right now, I'm at the third trimester and it’s getting closer to being that time. I also have some, like, visual ideas and projects that I'm working on right now. I’m really trying to expand upon where I left off, kind of like going from a College Dropout to Late Registration. What I mean by that is you’ll hear a semblance of what was first there but now I've experienced so much in the past two years that it's just like I have to be able to reflect that in my music and especially speaking about that balance or having some type of dynamic. That's definitely what I'm trying to incorporate into my music and just into my lifestyle.

What’s it like when you return to New Orleans now at this stage in your career? Would you say you’re a hero in your hometown?

I'm connecting a lot more with New Orleans. The city's gone crazy with a lot of talented artists now and it's beautiful to see so many people working together. I'm trying to be a part of that culture and build up the home base, so to speak.

When I go home, it feels good. Surreal. But rarely do too many things change in New Orleans, in my opinion, and it’s the consistency that I love anyway. What I love about going back home is it feels like I've journeyed out and have come back accomplished. It’s a good feeling especially knowing that I know a lot of people who don’t necessarily get opportunities to leave the city as much as I have or do things in the light that I have and I don’t ever take that for granted. There are so many heroes in New Orleans everyday, though, that I couldn't just call myself that.

What do you hope people walk away with when they listen to your music? Do you feel like you’re representing NOLA well?

I would say, I’d like for people to walk away with a piece of positivity. There is a lot of like darkness going on in the world and I feel like there's definitely a need for positivity. If they take away the part that I'm from New Orleans, I hope it helps to paint a picture of who I am. It's also bigger than that. I feel like [representing NOLA] is more about the emotion behind it all and, you know, coming away inspired and coming away feeling better than you were when you first started listening to it, if that's possible. I just want to be able to connect with people emotionally.

How do you chose the direction a song takes, whether you’re rapping or singing?

I don't really try and have too much thought involved in the concept of “well I need to rap on this” or “I need to sing on this” unless there are certain times it calls for that specific focus. But for the most part, I just go off of inspiration. It's like this is what happened to me this week and this is what I feel inspired to talk about. So if I can creatively put it out somewhere and understand it, then I won. That's just how I view it. In terms of producers that I want to work with, I’ll listen to a Spotify playlist that I've made or I'll listen to what my friends are listening to and kind of pick and choose what my favorites are and then I’ll make a list off that and go in from there.

How do you feel about a genre tied so closely to you (dream rap) gaining more mainstream exposure? How does more artists adopting the style relate to or influence the music you’re creating now?

I feel like it's all going to a good place. Once you know you have the genesis of something, people can only go back to it and then apply it to their stuff and make it better. So, it's naturally going to get better. And I'm happy that it's getting the attention that it deserves because I feel like that type of music connects with people. That’s why you're hearing more of it and that's why it's becoming more popular.

In terms of my role in it, my role is always to be the experimenter and the originator and somebody who is pushing boundaries and making sure that I'm utilizing all of my influences through my self-expression. With dream rap being something that I was tagged to early and with whoever tagged my name to it early on didn’t know that I was going to continually be reinventing myself artistically, you know? My role is definitely to keep on the path of experimentation and on the path of just reinventing sounds and taking different stabs at the same old song, so to speak, and seeing where it all goes.

How did the song “Got It Like That” (Eleven:11 remix) with G-Eazy come about?

I wanted to work with him because he's a good dude. He's a real genuine person and he's believed in the movement since day one. His producer, Christoph Andersson, actually went to elementary school with me, so I had then heard about him when I was in high school, in college and so on. We never really linked up because I was in school during the time he was in New Orleans.

Around the anniversary of Floating While Dreaming, I hadn't really released much and it was a pertinent time for a new record, so we finally were able to connect on it. G-Eazy sent back his verse and it was so good to me that I was like, “OK I'm going to re-write my verse now." So I went in and did my thing. Christoph went in and tweaked the beat and that's how it blossomed into something really nice.

I was happy that we could connect on that specific song too because it's like, in terms of that realm of artists stylistically and sonically, I felt like the song was so different from what I normally do. We found we had a common ground and took the opportunity to explore it. It just clicked.

Do you think art is going to thrive over the next four years? Many say that it will given the political climate, but do you feel an obligation to incorporate politics in your music now more than ever or how does it influence you?

There is a huge amount of influence to draw from. You have all these artists that are now public figures and I feel like it is definitely our duty to be able to speak on certain things that are affecting the people that we're trying to represent. It's almost like we're the elected officials in that regard because we have these people that we're representing that we can speak for, especially if they can’t speak for themselves.

With lyrics connecting us, sometimes it’s important to express that during the bad times and when things are going awry, we have to really show others that we mean business and that we care about the people that care about us. That is definitely a beautiful thing. We’ll be seeing that become more and more relevant in today’s time and, in some ways, it’s almost as if you’re not relevant if you don’t speak on what’s happening. There’s too much going on for you to be a silent voice or not have one.

I feel like people are paying attention now more than ever and with that you have outreach of all these artists wanting to show their support for the people and working to change things for the better. I don’t see that changing anytime soon unless something drastically changes in how we all connect with one another.
