Skin Bleaching, Stacey Dash, Atlanta and Other Music News This Week

The uplifting and the straight-up crazy.

A Week of Waiting - Thank goodness for yet another week filled with music news. Don’t worry, we’ll recap for you. 2016 has already revealed itself to be a great year for new releases by big artists and we got news of another finished album — no, it’s not Frank Ocean’s. No new developments in the Drake vs. Joe Budden story, but Joe goes for a win this week and it doesn’t involve taking a stab at Drake. There wasn’t a plethora of shady moments, but thanks to a pop star, the #TaylorSwiftIsOver party gets extended a little bit. Don’t mind the social media confusion of a Snapchatter or the reappearance of two hip-hop villains. – Jon Reyes(Photo: BET)
DJ Khaled - Working with "the best," of course, means teaming up with DJ Khaled. The Miami DJ is known for organizing ground-breaking collaborations with some of the biggest names in hop hop, like Jay Z, Diddy, Drake and Lil Wayne. We'd love to see who he'd team up with Remy.

Former ball player and current sports broadcaster Marcellus Wiley is out here claiming he witnessed a potential Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. It’s still confusing as to what would prompt it and we low-key pray it'll turn into some fire music. - (Photos from left: 247PAPS.TV / Splash News, Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for MTV)
This past week, The Game was moonlighting as a suicide prevention counselor. While his answer to a fan seeking advice was adequate, seek professional help if you’re struggling, like the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255. - (Photo: Alberto Rodriguez/BET/Getty Images for BET)Reading Bobby Brown - Bobby Brown’s newest memoir, Every Little Step: My Story, reads like a deranged soap opera that contains gang shootings, a hell of a lot of drug use, and immense regret and pain over poor decisions. The famed singer comes clean about a lot of moments we’ve heard about or are brand new to the public at large. Coupled with the testimonials from his kids and ex-members of New Edition, the memoir is a bird’s-eye view of one the most notorious careers in R&B. Here are some of the craziest things we learned from Every Little Step: My Story. – Jon Reyes(Photo: Dev Street Books)
