Artwork for Syd's 'Beard' (Free Lunch/Warner Records)
Syd is embracing her "peach fuzz," unique identity and current chapter in life on Beard, her first new album in four years. She co-produced the record and worked with Raphael Saadiq, Big Sean, Rodney Jerkins, James Fauntleroy, Van Hunt and others.
"It’s a snapshot of what my life looks like right now," Syd said in a statement. "The title was inspired by the peach fuzz on my upper lip that society has always taught me to hate. I fell in love with my peach fuzz and it made me rethink everything that was supposed to make me feel insecure. It allowed me to take my confidence into my own hands, and own everything that I am and everything I love about myself, regardless of what anyone else thinks."
She added that Beard also "represents the way I see myself in relation to my peers, especially in music. ‘The bearded lady.’ Not so much a spectacle in my case, but an anomaly and an outlier. Hard to compare. I’m owning that too."
Syd previews the album with its lead single "Callin" featuring Blu June, out now on streaming services.
Beard is set to arrive on July 17 and will be supported with a tour of the U.K. and Europe.
Ravyn Lenae's 'Blue Island' album artwork (Atlantic Records)
Ravyn Lenae is welcoming fans into Blue Island with her new album, set to arrive on Aug. 7.
The project marks her third studio album, one that finds her exploring "the full scope of her identity: the quirks, flirty energy, 'teenage angst' that often bleeds well into years outside its allotted window, as well as the quiet, lonely, 'off-beat' moments that happen when you are in the midst of a transformation," according to a press release.
The album follows a year filled with both highs — including new opportunities — and lows, such as questions surrounding her Blackness and place within music spaces. It's a project inspired by the desire to move forward and express herself, as did Black female artists like Santigold, Janet Jackson and Tracy Chapman, according to the release.
“‘Blue Island’ is a point of arrival, and feeling set in my ways and in who I am, and feeling free of any of those preconceived notions about Blackness or what I had to be in the past," Ravyn said in a statement. "So I think now it’s fun to challenge the idea of what R&B is supposed to sound like, what pop is supposed to sound like … and really say ‘f*** all of that’ and do my own thing.”
As a result, the album finds Ravyn incorporating influences from The Sundays, Blondie, The Cranberries and Martin Rev, as well as the "dramatic chorus structures and high vocal tones of Bollywood soundtracks," into her signature sound.
Ravyn kicks off Blue Island with the release of "Handle," out now with an accompanying music video featuring choreography from New York-based movement director Akira Uchida. The visual marks the first time many fans will see Ravyn incorporate choreography into her artistry.
Blue Island is now available for presave and preorder.

Wyclef Jean has been teasing the first installment of his Quantum Leap series, Clef Notes, the hip-hop focused chapter of the project. He's already previewed tracks with Rapsody and G Herbo, but there's more in store. He tells ABC Audio that Andra Day and Lil Wayne also appear on the album, which pays tribute to the genre that launched his career.
"Starting it with hip-hop is like paying tribute to what made me who I am today. Coming to America from the islands, growing up in a project, you know, started off [with] church music and a jazz major and found myself through hip-hop. If it wasn't hip-hip I wouldn't be here, so it's important," he explains.
He says the project will first spotlight his lyrical genius before reminding fans of his production style.
"I know y'all haven't heard me produce in a minute, so this is back to that Wyclef production," he says. "1996 mixed with 2030, the sonics are crazy. Y'all gonna love it."
Clef Notes is scheduled to arrive on June 26, marking the first of Quantum Leap, a seven-album series Wyclef will release over the next year, each centered on a genre that's shaped him as an artist. He hopes listeners take away at least one message from the ambitious project: "never put yourself in a box."
"When you listen to seven albums or you listen to one album, always remember once somebody starts categorizing y'all and saying, 'Oh, you're this, or you're that, or you're this,' no, I am all things. Like, why you trying to belittle me? That's what I want y'all to get out of that," he says.
"Mr. October" featuring G Herbo, the lead single off Clef Notes, is due out Friday.
The classic Four Tops lineup performs on the British television show 'Ready Steady Go,' Nov. 17, 1966 (BIPS/Getty Images)
The group that performs as The Four Tops no longer includes any original members, but they — and their team — are working to keep the legendary Motown act's legacy alive.
Billboardreports that plans for a stage musical inspired by the group is in the works, as well as a documentary; potential producers for the film are being considered now. While there's no time frame for either of those projects, there is a planned release coming in July: a 60th anniversary deluxe reissue of 1966's Four Tops Live!, which was originally recorded during three 1966 shows the group played at Detroit's Roostertail venue.
The 22-track reissue includes new mixes, four previously unreleased songs and a bonus instrumental, as well as onstage comments from late Tops singer Levi Stubbs. Among the hits included are "It's the Same Old Song," "Baby I Need Your Loving," "Reach Out I'll Be There" and "I Can't Help Myself." The album is out July 25, and The Four Tops will play a special show at the Roostertail on July 27 to celebrate.
According to Billboard, a new greatest hits compilation is also in the works, which will include Four Tops recordings from before and after their time at Motown. Plus, the current incarnation of the group — which includes the son of founder Lawrence Payton and former Temptations member Theo Peoples — is getting ready to "make new music."
Keith Hagan, part of the group's management team, tells Billboard, "Our goal here is to re-introduce and then introduce [the Tops] to a younger generation who maybe aren’t as familiar with the Tops’ monster hits as they should be. I feel very bullish that we can start to expand the Tops’ music and audience to a younger audience."
6lack is celebrating a decade in music with a new tour featuring special guests Eem Triplin and Johnny Venus. The run also marks the 10th anniversary of his debut album, Free 6lack.
“Ten years is amazing. A lot of folks don't get to say that they've been doing something for 10 years,” 6lack tells ABC Audio. “That album stamped my introduction to a lot of people.”
He says the project — and the fans who discovered him through it — still remain close to his heart.
“Those songs still stand the test of time today,” he says. “The people who found me around that time are the people who still come to my shows now. It's just been amazing to see how we've all grown."
The tour, running Sept. 8 through Dec. 11, will highlight defining moments from his catalog while incorporating music from his newly released album, Love is the New Gangsta, which he recently previewed during an intimate show in New York.
According to 6lack, fans can expect his band by his side and a more immersive experience this time around, complete with glimpses of his production skills.
“I pride myself on having a really good live show,” he says. “I wanna kind of move around, have different stations and make it interactive show … turn the show into an experience that every night is not the same.”
As 6lack has watched fans grow over the years, he says they'll also be able to see his evolution, particularly through Love is the New Gangsta.
“It’s nice to see someone grow in front of you so that we can all ... collectively understand that we go through the same things,” he says, adding the album encourages people not to feel ashamed of mistakes, heartbreak or personal struggles.
An artist presale begins Wednesday, with general tickets going on sale Friday at noon local time.

6lack released his new album, Love is the New Gangsta, on Friday. The rolloutbegan with three songs that represent different stages of love: “Bird Flu,” “Sunday Again” featuring 2 Chainz and “Ashin the Blunt” with Young Thug.
He tells ABC Audio “Bird Flu” was the first song that made him realize he was creating an album.
“It was me finding my voice again,” he says. “I wanted to talk about what I’m struggling with, what I’ve overcome and what I care about.”
He says the song’s stripped-back production allowed listeners to focus on the lyrics, noting, “It was just me, the beat, the lyrics, and that’s it."
“Sunday Again,” a collaboration with 2 Chainz, followed. He thought of a few artists to feature on the project, but eventually decided to lean into his Atlanta roots. “I wanted to go home,” 6lack tells ABC Audio. “We normally hear Chainz in a party atmosphere, but I wanted to put him in this setting.”
He says it's one of his favorite songs on the album because it “feels like a hug."
The third song, “Ashin the Blunt,” which leaked years before its official release, was a song 6lack kept returning to because of how deeply it resonated with him and his guest feature, Young Thug.
“It speaks to what [he went] through, it speaks to what I’ve gone through,” he says. “I couldn’t imagine anybody else being on that song.”
Together, the three songs represent confinement, insecurity and commitment in relationships.
"The overall message is I choose love,” 6lack says of the album.
The project also features his latest single, "All That Matters," featuring Leon Thomas. The music video is now available to watch on YouTube.
Jim Jones has a new album on the way. The Landlord is scheduled to arrive on June 12, and it features his new song “In the Car" with Kodie Shane and Yung Bleu.
After playing two sold-out shows at LA's SoFi Stadium in April, Ye's next U.S. show is in Tampa on June 26. Fans must register for access to ticket sales, but a few people will be going to the concert for free. "A FEW LUCKY PRE-REGISTRANTS WILL BE SELECTED TO RECEIVE FREE TICKETS," Ye's website says.
Megan Thee Stallion and Solange Knowles spent some together on the beach. Solange posted some photos from their date on Instagram with the caption, "may thee light shine upon all h-town legends forever more." Solange explained in the comments that she intentionally "moved right near hiking trails, rivers, and the sea so I can actively make nature and exercise as apart of my wellness." She added, “I wrote this long a** paragraph to jusss encourage all my beautiful black and brown people to occupy this land. i loveee seeing us on the trails and experiencing all the ways to witness all of gods glory."
Jeezy surprised the crowd at his Legend of the Snowman residency with some unannounced guests. He was joined by Fabolous, Bun and Usher, who later recapped the moment on Instagram. "When U have history like we do, U always gotta show up… Nothing but love for my brother Jeezy. We brought The A to Vegas," he captioned a post featuring photos from Sunday night.
Bruno Mars is giving fans a look at his current The Romantic tour.
He's released a live video performance of his single "Risk It All," which was filmed on tour. Since it's the first song in his set, the video shows the curtain rising to reveal Bruno standing alone onstage, with a huge sign reading "The Romantic" hanging above him. As he sings the song, a video animation of a stained glass window appears behind him.
After he hits a long note, he says, "Ladies and gentlemen, The Hooligans." The lights come up and another curtain opens to reveal his band and a full horn section, who join him for a bit. As the song ends, the lights go down again, the curtain closes and Bruno is standing alone onstage once again.
While Bruno didn't attend Monday's American Music Awards, he ended up winning three trophies: best male R&B artist, best R&B song for "I Just Might" and best R&B album for The Romantic. The tour continues Wednesday in Toronto, Canada.

Queen Latifah was introduced to the world through music, but it's been years since she released a project. With her upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, she says she new music may finally be on the way.
"I'm going to drop some music," she told People. "You know, I got all this music at home, and I forget y'all haven't heard it. I need to let somebody else hear it other than my friends."
Queen's last project was 2009's Persona, but she says she feels "so close to" music.
"I do enough things that allow me to get out there and sing or rap or do shows so that people can remember," she said. "Lest they forget how I got into this game. Let me show you right quick."
"I keep it in my back pocket at all times," she told People. "But yeah, I guess it has been a minute, so probably will drop some new music this year."
"It's time," she added. "Get ready for the many genres that it will come out in."
Queen will be inducted into the Rock & Roll of Hame on Nov. 14 alongside fellow honorees like the late Luther Vandross, MC Lyte, Celia Cruz and Sade.
"It's really almost odd to be inducted with people who are such influences and such heroes in my mind, but such a huge, huge honor to be in anything that's a class with them," she told People.
The RRHOF ceremony will be available to watch in December on ABC and Disney+.

Chris Brown took a break from tour rehearsals over the weekend to accept an honorary doctorate at Harvest Christian University. He earned a doctor of philosophy degree in Visual and Performing Arts Saturday from the private institution in honor of his "more than 20 years of global artistic achievement, cultural influence, entertainment excellence, creative innovation, and sustained contribution to music, performance, and the creative arts industry," according to the university's website.
The university said in a statement that the honor acknowledges not only academic accomplishment, but also "cultural impact, economic influence, artistic excellence, perseverance, innovation, and the ability to inspire generations through one’s gifts and talents." The school also referenced its belief "in the principles of redemption, grace, restoration, compassion, and recognizing the full complexity of the human journey."
“This honorary recognition acknowledges a lifetime body of work, global artistic achievement, cultural contribution, and over two decades of influence within entertainment and contemporary society,” the university added.
Chris posted photos from the ceremony on Instagram, captioning the post, “I DID A THING!”
He is set to kick off his R&B tour with Usher at the end of June.
Cardi B, Bruno Mars and Leon Thomas were among the winners at the American Music Awards Monday night. Cardi won three awards, including best female hip-hop artist, best hip-hop song for “Errtime” and best hip-hop album for Am I the Drama?
“AMAs thank you so much for giving me three awards tonight,” she said on her Instagram Story. “Thank you so much, and I promise you, not only am I going to attend next year, I’m gonna perform. That’s word to everything. I don’t give a f*** what I’m doing.” She jokingly requested her awards be sent to her home and not her mother’s house, since her mom likes to keep and display them in the living room.
Bruno won best male R&B artist, best R&B song for “I Just Might” and best R&B album for The Romantic. Leon was named breakthrough R&B artist, while Monaleo took home the hip-hop equivalent.
“Through it all God provides. Yall know what i been through this year . The wins mean everything to me . Idk who needs to hear this but your BREAKTHROUGH is on the horizon. First NAACP now AMA . Without my supporters and my village i am dust . Thank you @amas . This award is so fitting. Pimpcess the chain breaker!” Monaleo wrote on Instagram.

Kehlani has a great announcement for her fans: she's headed to a city near them on tour.
She shared the news in a video shared to her Instagram Friday, in which she's seen in a messy office trying to brainstorm ideas for her upcoming tour. She crumbles papers, throws them on the ground, writes sticky notes and uses a board as she questions what to do on the road.
"I gotta think big. The theme: circus, no, lighting, a spotlight. That's too much, maybe it's not enough. Can I get a harp?" she asks.
"Set list, do I open with 'Folded,' do I close with 'Folded,' do I do 'Folded' five times? 'Folded' warriors to the back and the day ones to the front," she continues.
"I need dancers, I need a DJ," Kehlani says, before Waseel starts playing her song, and she quickly asks him to stop.
"I need to think. What am I missing? Oh! Who are my openers?" She's then seen reaching out to them and getting their confirmation.
Those openers are Isaia Huron, The Artist, Waseel and Durand Bernarr.
The tour is a world tour, seemingly in support of her recently released self-titled debut album. Dates have not yet been announced.
"one hooting and hollering a**, fun a** rnb a** night, you will have," Kehlani teased on her Instagram Story. She followed it with, "you have till August to learn every word to the Kehlani album," before sharing a link for fans to get updates and presale access to the tour.
Wiz Khalifa and mgk have released blog era boyz, a project that "channels the carefree spirit, hunger, and DIY energy that defined the blog era generation of hip-hop" that helped in their rise to mainstream success, according to a press release. The project features a mix of "reflective moments, stoner anthems, melodic records, and celebratory tracks," including previously released singles "everything tatted" and "girl next door."
42Dugg dropped the remix to his song "Thick One," featuring help from fellow Detroit artists Skilla Baby and Kash Doll. The release comes as he celebrates the fifth anniversary of his breakthrough project, Free Dem Boyz.
Ne-Yo's new country song, "Mrs. Tundra," is out now, along with an official visualizer. The high-tempo, line dance-ready anthem is set to appear on his upcoming album, Highway 79, which was recorded in Nashville and named after both his birth year and the highway in Arizona where he was born. The album arrives on July 10.
Big Freedia and SOPHIE preview their upcoming joint EP with the release of "Blaze That A**." “Recording with SOPHIE is something I hold even closer to my heart now, especially after her passing,” said Freedia. “She was an artist who showed the world that living boldly is your greatest power. With this EP, I want to show the world how loved she was and still is!”
Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson in the upcoming film 'Michael.' (Lionsgate)
It seems progress is being made on a sequel to the Michael Jackson biopic Michael.
Lionsgate Studios Motion Picture Chair Adam Fogelson said he's "really excited about the progress we’re making" on a sequel to Michael during the company’s quarterly earnings call on Thursday.
"All the conversations that we’ve been having with all of the appropriate parties continue to go exceptionally well, and I would say that there is a ton of incredibly entertaining Michael Jackson story, and much of the biggest and most popular parts of his music catalog that were not touched upon in the first film,” Fogelson said on the call.
As for what events from Jackson's life would be covered in a potential second film, Fogelson said the studio "can go forwards and backwards in telling this story."
"There are so many other events that happened, even in the time frame of the original movie, that weren’t touched upon. So we’re very, very confident that we’ve got an incredibly entertaining movie that will appeal once again to a global audience as the pieces come together," Fogelson said.
The Lionsgate executive also said the studio has "25% to 30% of a second movie already shot from the prior production activity."
"Obviously that will have some benefit ultimately. But we’ll make sure we make a big and satisfying movie for a global audience once again, so I wouldn’t want to quantify exactly what that’s going to look like. But undoubtedly that 25% to 30% will be material,” Fogelson said.
Michael opened in theaters on April 24. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film starred the King of Pop's nephew Jaafar Jackson and also featured Colman Domingo, Miles Teller and Nia Long.

According to the website, the event serves as a "celebration of excellence, a testament to the [Black women] trailblazers who have paved the way." The event will also raise funds for breast cancer prevention, research and care through education, resources and support initiatives.

Sexyy Red's friendship with Drake earned her features on two songs across his three-album release. Speaking with Complex, she talked about working with Drake and reflected on recording "Cheetah Print," which appeared on Maid of Honour.
"Working with Drake always fun as hell 'cause he really be in his bag," she said. "And for real, for real, he got the best ear in music."
She added that they "were on that 'cha cha slide' type timing" while making "Cheetah Print," which quickly took off online.
"I knew it was going up when I opened TikTok and everybody was using the sound. I ain't even expect it to blow that fast. But seeing people shake a**, make videos, and really f*** with the song like that made me happy 'cause we had so much fun making ['Cheetah Print']," said Sexyy, who also appeared on Drake's HABIBTI song "Hurr Not Hurr."
The pair first teamed up in 2023 on "Rich Babby Daddy," which also featured SZA, before reuniting for "U My Everything" in 2024.
Sexyy has continued to publicly support Drake, most recently posting a photo of a billboard celebrating his recent album release with the caption, “GO GET MY BABY DADDY ALBUM WTF!”
Others in hip-hop have also weighed in on the project. Jack Harlow praised the albums and called Iceman his favorite. “I love when he raps,” he said to Rolling Stone. “I love when he’s melodic, too. But I love when he addresses things. He’s a writer.”
Former collaborator Rick Ross criticized the album during an appearance on the PBD Podcast, claiming people around him listened and weren't impressed.
"This a muthaf****** who always bringing up Michael Jackson. Where the Billy Jean at? Where the Thriller? My homies actually sat there and they lost a hour for the life for this s***."
Boots Riley follows up Sorry to Bother Youwith his new film I Love Boosters, now in theaters. Like his previous film, the movie blends surrealism, comedy and a star-studded cast, including LaKeith Stanfield, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie and Demi Moore.
“[I Love Boosters] takes place in the world of professional shoplifters,” he tells ABC Audio. “You could roughly say it’s a heist comedy, and then you just add the fact of the cast, and you don’t have to say more. If you want to know more than that, you want to know too much.”
While Sorry to Bother Youused telemarketing to critique capitalism, this film focuses on boosters aka professional shoplifters. Boots says he had personal experience with that world during his years as a "broke rapper" trying to keep up with fashion.
He explains, “I’ve spent decades being a broke rapper ... and when you have no money and you’re trying to stay fly, you better call a booster."
The film follows a group of professional shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven by stealing her clothes and reselling them.
Boots says his interest in boosters comes from how often they are “villainized,” suggesting they play a role in working-class communities and communities of color.
“Boosters serve in a world in which style ... is generated from communities of color and other poorer communities that can’t afford the stuff that gets generated from those inspirations,” he argues. “And so boosters actually end up ... being something that holds the community together while people are trying to survive.”
The film also stars Keke Palmer, whom Boots says he wanted to challenge creatively.
“People think she’s inspiring on film, and on TV and on Instagram. She’s more so in person,” he says. “She’s such a bright, shining beacon and she is smart as hell.”
He adds that he believes the film is both of their best work.
Artwork for 6lack's 'Love is the New Gangsta' (LVRN/Interscope Records)
Many people have an agenda. With his brand-new album, 6lack's agenda is to push the message of love.
Love is the New Gangsta is what he came up with. It’s a title that reflects his current era and gives new meaning to the word "gangsta."
"When I was growing up, I kind of attributed that phrase to cool. And you grow up thinking certain things are cool that, as you mature, you realize what really is cool," he tells ABC Audio. 6black says that means taking care of himself, his family and his community.
"I just felt like it was something that needed to be reiterated, that love being at the core of what you do is not something to be ashamed of," he says.
6lack says love has always been central to his music, but the message became clearer as he became more focused on accountability and growth. He explains that while his previous album, Since I Have a Lover, centered on learning the tools to improve his life, this project reflects putting those lessons into practice.
“This album has been me actually doing the work in my life first and then once the work is done ... I go into the studio and then I can be creative. And then I can be productive. So taking care of life first and then creating after," he says.
He hopes Love is the New Gangsta will encourage listeners to confront issues they may avoid.
"Accountability has been my biggest focus recently," he says, "so not just saying that I wanna do something about what needs to be fixed in my life, but really showing up and really proving it."
Ultimately, 6lack's focus is “growth and development.” “That is all I care about," he says.
