If you’re a huge Gucci Mane fan (and who isn’t?), you may be scratching your head, asking yourself, “why have I never seen Gucci perform live?” Well that may be because opportunities of seeing the Atlanta rapper live have been few and far between throughout his entire career.

But all that will change very soon, as Gucci Mane has announced the first tour of his career, his headlining Trap God Tour.

This past weekend, Lana Del Rey surprised fans with her return, as the ‘Video Games’ singer released her first single in over a year, with ‘Love’. And to accompany the new track today, Lana Del Rey has released a new music video, with a classic Lana Del Rey vintage feel.

Speaking on her new music, Lana told fans in a statement, “I made my first four albums for me, but this (next) one is for my fans and about where I hope we are all headed.” And while we don’t expect Lana to reinvent her sound, one thing specifically that an LP for the fans means is, “exciting guest featured artists”, which will be revealed at a later date.

While Lana has contributed vocals to artists like The Weeknd and The Neighbourhood in the past, her albums have never boasted a guest feature, making the forthcoming features especially exciting.

Watch Lana Del Rey’s new visuals for ‘Love’ below and download the new single now on iTunes.

Some people just ruin things for everyone. While Big Sean was nice enough to hold a meet and greet at FYE in New York for his fans, to celebrated the release of physical copies of his #1 album, I Decided., a “fan” decided to take that opportunity to assault Big Sean.

While we aren’t positive if the meet and greet was cut short due to the altercation, it appears as such from the video that another fan recorded of the assaulting fan’s arrest. No word as to why the man slapped Big Sean, but he definitely took an “L” for ruining the album signing for everyone else.

Watch a video of the fan’s arrest below.

Ben Folds kicked it old school tonight as he jammed solo, bringing his Ben Folds And A Piano Tour to the historic Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee, WI. With an audience packed full of true Ben Folds fans, the Wisconsin crowd was excited to hear a variety of Ben Folds’ newest tracks, and equally ecstatic to hear his classics as well.

What made this performance so special, was its simplicity and creative level of audience participation. Whether Folds is accompanied by the Ben Folds Five, a live orchestra or just himself, the North Carolina singer/songwriter always delivers; but there is something beautiful about stripping things down to just a man and his piano. And more so than other shows, this one was all about the fans. In fact, halfway through the performance, Folds had his audience write song requests on a piece of paper, form their requests into a paper airplane, and fly the songs to the stage.

For the rest of the concert, Folds constructed his setlist from the paper airplane requests, making for a unique experience for fans. By pure chance and probability, and the diversity of fans’ requests, Milwaukee and all other tour stops had a special setlist that only fans in attendance for that particular will ever experience. By definition, Milwaukee received a performance from Ben Folds unlike all others.

Check out our photos from last night’s performance below and peep the remaining dates on the Ben Folds And A Piano Tour here.
