And Tyson, it turns out, has more than just punches to level at Soulja Boy. He's recording a diss track aimed at the rapper. Tyson tweeted a picture on January 8th standing in front of a microphone. "In studio. Dropping heat. Wait and see what this is about�" he wrote.
TMZ got their hands on the first few seconds of the track. "If you show up, it's going down/ I'm going to teach him how to knock your a� out," Tyson threatens in the first verse. And he's not stopping there. Brown is reportedly contributing a verse to the track soon, and they'll even film a music video to back it up. So the war of words that began between Brown and Soulja Boy and turned into a very real boxing match has now turned into a new war of words. It's the beef that won't stop broiling. Checkout the clip

Halsey, Sia, Kygo, Tove Lo, Anderson East and more contributed songs to the follow-up of 2015's erotic film Fifty Shades of Grey. And Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj collaborated for what's sure to be a banger track, "Bom Bidi Bom."
Fifty Shades of Grey's original soundtrack launched The Weeknd's dark and brooding hit "Earned It," alongside other original and reimagined tracks. From the looks of it, the sequel will not disappoint.
The Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack will be available to pre-order beginning January 13th. Fifty Shades Darker, which stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, hits theaters February 10th. Check out the full track listing

Speaking with Billboard, Nineteen85 explained, "More Life is interesting because this is [Drake] right on the peak of his biggest project yet [with Views], doing his biggest tour and still having so many good ideas that he just wants to put out without making it a big ordeal," he said.
But more than releasing More Life without a bunch of fanfare, Drake is interested in continuing to introduce listeners to artists doing special work. "That's why he's trying to call it a playlist because he has a bunch of people in a space, hanging out," Nineteen85 continued. "He's so aware of what everybody else is doing musically that he likes to introduce new music and new artists to the rest of the world."
It sounds as though, besides individual tracks from other artists, More Life will involve several collaborations. Read more

John Mayer got into the swing of things Tuesday night (Jan. 10), when he began a series of bizarre tweets that made fun of Twitter threads and quickly devolved from there.
He apologized to Fifth Harmony Wednesday morning, explaining, "I wrote a tweet last night, put 1/25 as a joke, and then it became a creative writing challenge. Thanks for being good sports. :heart: � no. 6."

Lauper debuts on the ACL stage in an entertaining hour of classic hit songs and the stories behind them. Lauper recently wrapped up a headlining nationwide tour in 2016 after reigning in a new legion of fans with her new country-tinged album DETOUR, which features a collection of country covers from the 40's, 50's and 60's.
Detour, which debuted No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, features duets with several special guests, including country music royalty: Emmylou Harris (on the title track), Willie Nelson ("Night Life," a song he wrote over 50 years ago), Vince Gill (Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty's "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly") and Alison Krauss (Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas.") Jewel also makes an appearance on DETOUR, showcasing her prodigious yodeling skills on "I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart," which was the first country song by a woman to sell one million copies.

He co-wrote much of the album, but that song came to him from some pretty high profile writers: Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line (along with James McNair and Cameron Montgomery).
"I just went out on tour with them," Brown says. "Tyler Hubbard from FGL came on the bus and said, ' I have a song to show you.' I was super pumped." He said that the song immediately resonated with him. "I'm from a small hometown, and when I heard the song, 'All I want to do is make my hometown proud,' and then we get to the bridge and they were shouting out their hometowns, so it was a chance for me to shout my hometown out. I just fell in love with the song. My hometown loves it!"
"I'm from Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia," he says. "Grew up there 'til my sophomore year, and then in my sophomore year, I moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Growing up, we moved around so much I just claimed that whole area of northwest Georgia and Chattanooga, Tennessee. "Read more

The alt-rock trio--Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss--ended their show at Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium with Michael's 'Faith" and Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel."
Balloons lined the stage while a Happy New Year sign hung on the backdrop. The women then invited Kathy Foster of The Thermals to assist on their energetic take on Michael's "Faith," while Spoon's Britt Daniel sang lead on Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel" which also happened to be the last song of their set. A fitting close to their last show of 2016, it also marked the band's first live show since September at Chicago's Riot Fest.

Home movies of a simpler, happier life play while the boy navigates perilous traumas. The video uses surrealist imagery while evoking the very real crisis in Aleppo. Its imaginative Where the Wild Things Are vibe saves the story from seeming distasteful or morose.
By the end of the boy's adventure, he's befriended one of the monsters and reaches for an outstretched, helping hand. Overall, the EDM influencers shared a hopeful message about children in peril. Watch the moving and whimsical video

Macklemore posted a black and white photo of himself and young daughter in the nearly empty space. "The place I bought my first karaoke/microphone tape deck at 14 when I started rapping," he wrote.
"The place we filmed Thrift Shop. Too many memories, outfits and moments of imagination to list. Glad I got to bring Sloane there before it turns into another condo. RIP Value Village." See the photo

Now a trailer has arrived and it has an absurdist screwball quality: Fiennes and Stockard Channing play Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor on a cross-country road trip in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Brian Cox plays Marlon Brando, who also joined the alleged ride.
The show appears to feature disconnected vignettes: Cary Grant and Timothy Leary taking LSD, Adolph Hitler and a "friend" working on art together, and Bob Dylan searching for "Dave." The trailer lampoons its subjects as well as the public curiosity that surrounds the tallest tales about them. It's not going for hyper-realism. Watch the Urban Myths
here.
"I'm building a castle for my daughter," Chance tweeted. Later he shared a video update which confirmed that progress on the playhouse was indeed being made.
"You may be wondering why I have this expensive Versace throw right here," says Chance. "It's because my baby is delicate, she get off the slide, she gotta land in that plush baby." Check out both tweets
