Kanye West has teased fans with some much-awaited details of his new album, which he has revealed will be released 'most likely in September'.

During his cover story interview with GQ magazine, West said he takes into consideration how Beyoncé released her last record.

"When Beyoncé was working on her last album, she took a while," he says.

Maverick Sabre has revealed he's always been a Chaka Khan fan, which is why he sampled her in his new single 'Emotion'.

The singer and rapper revealed to Digital Spy how this all came about, and why it worked so well.

Having already won BET Award's 'Best New Artist', August Alsina is continuing to prove he is one to watch in the R&B world.

The singer has now dropped a track with one of the female rap artists of the moment, Nicki Minaj, who is featured on his remixed song "No Love".

Ella Eyre's fierce live vocals will be touring the UK later this year, it's been announced. 

The 'If I Go' singer will play 13 dates across the country, including Sheffield, Leeds and Dublin, as well as a night at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Although we've seen her a lot on the stage with Bastille and Rudimental, now it's all about Ella as she focusses on her forthcoming album.

Kendrick Lamar had a huge year in 2012 with his highly anticipated album good kid, m.A.A.d city selling over 240,000 copies in it's first week. Oh and then going platinum.

But it wasn't to be at The Grammy Awards as the rapper lost out to Macklemore in four of the categories he was nominated in, who then sent a very public text to Lamar.

Kanye West has taken on an endless number of topics in his latest interview with GQ, as he discusses life as a married man, Kim Kardashian and that Instagram photo.

Touching on how he is learning to communicate with Kim, he said: "What I had to learn from Kim is how to take more of her advice and less of other people's advice. There's a lot of Kim K skills that were added. In order to win at life, you need some Kim K skills, period."

T.I. and Tiny have both responded to comments made by Floyd Mayweather last week about having sex with Tiny.

Tiny has told TMZ that she has never been with Mayweather, and believes he has made these comments as revenge for her rebuffing him at the BET Awards last month.

Lorde has likened her unlikely relationship with Kanye West to that of a student and school principal.

The Tennis Courts singer said that West is "like my school principal, if the school is pop", after he sought her out to let her know he's a fan of her music. 

Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea have been snapped on the set of their new music video for collaboration, Black Widow.

The pair, who were shooting the promo in Los Angeles, were spotted wearing skin-tight one-pieces - think Uma Thurman in Kill Bill - which were unzipped to reveal a lot of cleavage.

Iggy opted for a white catsuit, while Rita looked racy in a red and black number - completing her look with a blonde wig.
