"Baby I like your style," Kyla purrs on the opening of "One Dance," Drizzy steps with a positive shout out to his friends "Strength and guidance / All that I'm wishing for my friends / Nobody makes it from my ends / I had to bust up the silence / You know you gotta stick by me / Soon as you see the text, reply me / I don't wanna spend time fighting / We've got no time."
"Pop Style" takes a more boastful tone, with Drake claiming "Got so many chains they call me Chaining Tatum." "Why do you know every single b- that I know?" adds Kanye. "Why can't you just shut your mouth and take the high road?"

His wife, Deisha, says, "Phife loved his fans, and was so excited for them to hear his new music. I feel like he would have wanted it this way." She, along with his longtime friend and manager, Dion Liverpool, decided to debut his J Dilla produced (estate licensed) single, "Nutshell."
Dion Liverpool added, "The single displays Phife's legendary wordplay as he describes himself, in a nutshell, so to speak." Phife passed on Tuesday March 22nd due to complications resulting from diabetes. Check out the song here.

McCarthy came out strong with DMX's "X Gonna Give It To Ya," Fallon quipped that he got emotional because the track was his "wedding song." In a forceful coup, Fallon took on Zayn Malik's "Pillowtalk" by getting intimate with an actual pillow. At that moment, the segment could have been titled, "metaphors taken to their literal conclusion."
Not to be outdone, McCarthy rocked safety goggles for a high-drama interpretation of "Colors of the Wind" from the Pocahontas soundtrack. No winner was declared but when Melissa McCarthy stands in a wind tunnel miming Disney classics, everybody wins. Watch the segment here.
T.I. was born Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr. and married Tiny, formerly of Xscape, in 2010 after nine years together. Heiress is the seventh child between them, joining other sons and daughters in the blended family from previous relationships.

The Twitter announcement was paired with a photo of T.I. on daddy duty, holding a baby carrier and rocking some cool ripped jean shorts. Check out the tweets here.

A sugary pop confection laced with darker electronic components that venture into R&B territory at times, "Give It Up" is all about Sykes' sky-high feelings of love. "Baby, I want you close, I want you close/ Give me your love/ Baby, I want some more, I want some more/ Can't get enough," he sings.
G-Eazy lends a verse to the tune, rapping about the difficulties of life on the road, which takes him from Sydney to London. He still manages to find time to meet up with his favorite girl because she thrills him in ways others can't. Listen here.

With a tearful expression of gratitude for father Philip's service in the U.S. Army, Underwood invites the family to a pre-concert event in Washington, D.C, during her Storyteller Tour. Vaughn's wife Jung Sun and kids, Tara and Jeremy, are also invited to a private concert for military families on the Carnival Vista in New York on Nov. 4, 2016.
'Meeting the Vaughn family was touching for me and I hope they are as excited to come to my concert in New York as I was to surprise them with the invitation," said Underwood. 'This program has afforded me the opportunity to personally thank these soldiers for all that they do, and I am grateful to be a part of something so positive and rewarding� The men and women of our military deserve our respect and admiration and we hope that Carnival's small role in their lives will show them how much we value what they do for our country."

"I've got a good eye for talent," Boyega explains to the camera. While shooting the film, he overheard her rapping one day and jokingly promised Ridley, "You know what, I can make you a big star." As it turns out, it wouldn't take rap to make that happen, but at least she's got a secondary talent to fall back on should acting not work out.
When Boyega launches into a beat, Ridley raps about their time on set. "We all up in the desert and we filming Star Wars / Because of our diet we can eat no Mars bars / Because of the explosions JB crawling on all fours / because of all the heat we can really make some s'mores." Read more here.
McGraw's performance of the Lori McKenna song was one of the highlights of the awards ceremony, and as he sang people of all ages, races and creeds flooded the stage.
McGraw has talked about how, as the father of three daughters with Hill, he deeply relates to "Humble and Kind." "I cried through every take," he told Tasteofcountry.com. "I would try to get myself together and I'd get halfway through it and I would just start blubbering every time time I tried to sing a line." Read more here.
