Fake rap group The Lonely Island has just released the music video for "Go Kindergarten" from their new album, "The Wack Album." The song features singer Robyn. The video sees Diddy and actor Paul Rudd going to a club and doing everything The Lonely Island and Robyn command them to do. It goes a bit beyond "everyone report to the dance floor." Watch below.
Janelle Monáe covers the June 15 issue of Billboard magazine. The cover story serves as a preview to her upcoming album, "The Electric Lady," due in September.
The album, which was co-produced with frequent Monáe collaborators Deep Cotton and Roman GianArthur, will feature contributions from Prince and Miguel.
"I had a chance to produce an icon," Monáe told Billboard about her song with Prince. "It's not every day that he collaborates. I'm honored and humbled that he trusted me. He is forever my friend, and I am forever indebted. I can't say too much else about it."
Thought she declined to give the name of the song, the article does list a few song titles, including "Dorothy Dandridge Eyes" (which Billboard lists as a jazz-influenced track), "Dance Apocalyptic" (pop-punk), "Victory" (gospel) and "Primetime" ("woozy, sensual vocal ballads," writes the cover story's author).
"Primetime" is the song that will feature Miguel and it includes an interpolation of the Pixes' "Where Is My Mind?" Check out the Billboard cover below.
Back in July of 2011, prison inmate Clayton Hill made headlines when he claimed that he had once harbored a man who claimed to have killed The Notorious B.I.G.
Marcus K. Garner of The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports that Hill has escaped from prison. According to Deputy U.S. Marshal Clay M. Cleveland, officials indicated that he had simply "walked off the grounds."
