Rihanna finally drops the long awaited music video for her single, ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ (#BBHMM). The video, which was directed by Rihanna and Megaforce, shows Rihanna kidnapping the wife of a rich man who obviously owes her money (if you couldn’t have guessed it yourself).

Check out the epic new music video below.

English singer/songwriter got on the good side of a whole lot of Kanye West fans this past weekend as she made it her mission to bring justice to all the Kanye West hate at Glastonbury. Before Kanye West’s epic festival performance, and despite a highly publicized petition asking that Kanye be removed from the line-up, Lily Allen traveled around the festival and then stole and burned any anti-Kanye propaganda that crossed her path.

Sharing the images on her Instagram, the Sheezus singer wrote “The flag said FUCK OFF KANYE, so I burned it till it said just KANYE . Don’t go for dinner at someone’s house and tell them their food sucks.” We can’t argue with that logic!

Check out Lily in action below!

Meek Mill has nothing but positive things to say about his rap peers, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar. However, when it comes to artists that inspire him, Meek said in a recent interview with Angie Martinez, that Cole and Kendrick do not make the cut. “They’re dope lyricists, great rappers…but they don’t inspire me. They don’t seem like they’re talking to me. And that ain’t no hate,” Meek said when speaking on Kendrick and Cole.

When it comes to the artist that Meek listens to he listed the likes of Future, Dej Loaf, Young Thug and Jay-Z. No disrespect intended from Meek, but it will be interesting to see if Kendrick or Cole give the rapper a friendly reminder of why they should inspire him. After all, they put out two of the best rap albums in the past year (and it isn’t even debtable).

Watch Meek Mill’s full interview with Power 105.1‘s Angie Martinez below.

Milwaukee’s Summerfest 2015, the World’s Largest Music Festival, has gotten off to a great start and there are still four days left. Unlike many other premiere music festivals, Summerfest (which runs until July 5th) brings an especially diverse list of performers to Milwaukee’s lakefront every year, creating for a festival where you can see Kanye West (who performed in 2011) share the same stage as Peter Gabriel and Kid Rock. So to get things started for The Early Registration’s first year at Summerfest, we had to catch a wide variety of acts all festival long.

Check out our Summerfest Day 6 photos below, of Linkin Park, Meg Myers, A Day To Remember, Lecrae, Whitesnake and the very unique and very mysterious the one and only PPL MVR.

Off the new soundtrack for “Magic Mike XXL”, Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino), who also has a role in the upcoming film, contributed a dope cover of Bruno Mars’ record ‘Marry You’. What sounds like could have been a track from his latest project, Kauai, Gambino’s spin on ‘Marry You’ definitely delivers. The official soundtrack also features Jeremih, 112, Genuine, Lil Wayne, Glass Animals and many more!

Stream ‘Marry You’ and check out the Magic Mike XXL Soundtrack below.

Royal Blood is your favorite rock band’s new favorite rock band. The English duo, which is comprised of Mike Kerr (bass/vocals) and drummer Ben Thatcher, only formed a couple years ago but already they have huge co-signs from the Arctic Monkeys, the Foo Fighters, The Script and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, just to name a few. Their biggest single to date, ‘Figure It Out’, from their debut and self-titled album, goes hard and rocks as much as any 5-man rock band. Mike and Ben carry the weight and pressure that the Royal Blood name already holds in its huge expectations, but you wouldn’t guess it from their persona. We sat down with the guys this past month at Bonnaroo to get to know the laid back and confident rockers with a sense of humor.

Mamby on the Beach is just a couple weeks away, and like real estate, it’s all about location, location, location! Grant Park is cool and all but this year a Chicago music festival is inviting some big artists to the Windy City’s scenic Oakwood Beach on July 11th and 12th (get your tickets here). This year the 18-and-up festival will see performances from Empire of the Sun, Passion Pit, Zhu, Cashmere Cat, Phantogram, Cherub, Art Department and many more! And if for some reason you don’t enjoy a nice lakefront breeze, the party doesn’t stop when the festival gates close, as some of Chicago’s best venues will be hosting the official after parties all night long.

Continue to our list of the “5 Artists We’re Most Excited to See at Mamby on the Beach 2015” at the link below, and listen to The Early Registration’s official Mamby on the Beach playlist while your at it!

Following the video for his powerful record ‘God’s Whisper’, Raury has released his new music video for ‘God’s Whisper”s darker sequel, ‘Devil’s Whisper’.

This one tops his music videos to date, as the young Atlanta rapper/singer easily delivered one of the best videos of 2015.
