So much like most of my imagery thus far, this is my interpretation of an era of beauty and glamour that I admire immensely.”

The song, "Sunday Again," features 2 Chainz and captures the feeling of his favorite day of the week. 

"the last couple years, Sundays have been my ones. it’s the day that slows everything down, and refuels my creativity. it’s a day of getting out of my head & being deeply present. I found a routine. i hit the gym. farmers market. family time. write. rest. talk s***. talk to God. whatever i actually need to feel good," he explained on Instagram. "then im charged up for the week, figuring out the next cool thing i can create. tasks pile up, the weekdays slip away, and the second i feel like i need a break, its Sunday Again."

Ahead of her Broadway debut in Joe Turner's Come and Gone, Taraji P. Henson admits she's feeling and embracing her nerves.

“I’m not nervous," she tells Live with Kelly and Mark. "Here’s the thing about nerves: nerves are good. I don’t run away from nerves, I lean into them. That must means you’re alive.”

The play will mark Taraji's first time performing on Broadway, a different experience from when she produced Jaja's African Hair Braiding.

“I was trained in theater, that’s why I’m really good at hosting, you know, the live award shows that I host because it’s the exchange that you have with the audience,” she says. “When you do feature film or television, you don’t know if the joke worked until they yell 'cut' because no one can laugh right away because then you blow the shot, right? But on the theater, oh it’s so alive."

"I love the energy; it's a synergy with the audience," she continues. "The show is different every night. It’s never a picture lock."

Taraji adds that she is very grateful for the opportunity. 

“I’m just so amazed to be part of this production," Henson says, noting it was playwright August Wilson's "favorite play." She says that the moment feels circle because she recalls hearing him speak while she was a student at Howard University.

Taraji also credits director and fellow Howard alumni Debbie Allen.

"She put together such a beautiful show," she says. "It’s very spiritual. It’s centered in the spirituality and what he was trying to, you know, convey in this script, you know. The families being displaced, which is happening today. We’re watching it in real time. And it just goes to show how timeless his work is.”

The play opens at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on April 25.

Durand Bernarr is gearing up to release the follow-up to his Grammy-winning album, Bloom. BERNARR will arrive on May 1 and features appearances from Khalid, Big Sean, Vic Mensa and Sevyn Streeter, BJ The Chicago Kid and James Fauntleroy.

Raphael Saadiq, Bryan Michael Cox and Trinidad James are among the album's producers. Raphel and Bryan are also credited as songwriters, alongside Kandi Burruss, Troy Taylor, Sevyn, James Fauntleroy, Johnta Austin, Miguel and more.

"It’s been a long road to get to a place where you’re respected by the OG’s as well as welcomed by other heavy hitters in the industry," Durand captioned a post announcing the album's collaborators. "The belief in me to help enhance the fire that’s already burning can be felt throughout this body of work and this is only the beginning… a new beginning."

Durand told the Los Angeles Times that BERNARR is "a time capsule of the music that I’ve been inspired by, from yacht music to alternative rock to funk. I mean, 'The Midnight Special' with Chaka Khan and Rufus, all of those things that I was raised on, but I’m bringing my approach to it."

The title also pays tribute to one of his biggest supporters: his father, whom he noted comes second only to his mother.

"Anytime your allegiance, even to yourself, overrides your allegiance to me to make sure that I have everything that I need when you’re modifying and adjusting how you move through life so that your family can be OK, that needs to be acknowledged. It needs to be celebrated," he said.

BERNARR will mark Durand's latest self-titled project, following Dur&. Bloom, released in 2025, won a Grammy for best progressive R&B album.

Mariah Carey has been on the ballot for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for three years in a row, yet she still hasn't gotten in. If you're confused about that, well, so is the chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Chairman John Sykes tells Billboard that the biggest surprise this year for him was that Mariah was snubbed. "I really believed that Mariah Carey should have, would have been inducted this year, because I think she’s deserving. But I don’t run this by myself. It’s a democratic system of voters," he says.

Asked why he thinks people aren't voting for her, Sykes says, "I have no idea. I think she’s a genius artist. She’s written [18] No. 1 songs [on the Billboard Hot 100]. She’s moved a generation of young people. I just think she’s incredible."

"But again, we have a very open voting process and it’s determined by committees of music executives, writers, artists, and they make the decision, not me," he notes.

Asked how Mariah is handling the snub, Sykes says, "All I can say is, I spoke to her about it, as I would speak to others. That’s part of the process, and many artists have taken years to get in."

Speaking generally, Sykes says, "With the artists that are not inducted, what we try to say to them, is, 'You’re now in the running, you’re now in the conversation.' ... So just to get on that ballot is really a mark of success —and the beginning, hopefully, of being inducted."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place Nov. 14 in LA, and premiere in December on ABC and Disney+. This year's inductees include Phil Collins, Luther Vandross, Sade, Billy Idol, Wu-Tang Clan and Oasis.

The world has watched Snoop Dogg evolve over the years, and now he’s bringing his life story to the big screen in a new biopic called Snoop.

Snoop announced at CinemaCon the film will be released next year. “After my brothers got to tell their story with Straight Outta Compton, now it’s my turn,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Snoop previously described the biopic as an “evolution story” about his life, family and upbringing, saying it will show how he overcame challenges and learned from those who shaped him.

"A lot of people just see me for who I am now," he told Extra. "They don't know what I went through and what I had to do to get to this stage and the people that taught me the lessons that I learned and the reason why I am who I am."

Snoop will begin filming this summer.

Tone Stith is flying up the radio charts with his latest single, "Fly," just as he's doing in his personal life. He tells ABC Audio the record is deeply tied to his personal journey.

"'Fly' was definitely written based off of my experience in my life just in the music industry, and my journey and really just feeling like a caged bird in a lot of it ...  feeling like people just always kept me in a box ... and I wasn't able to explore what ... and who it was that I wanted it to be," Tone said. "'Fly' really came from a place of being like, 'Yo, this is a new chapter for me and a reset.'"

That intention carried into the visuals. "It was supposed to be in the desert. It was supposed to be some other aspects to it," Tone explained. "But then ... I was like it should just be even more focused on me."

Though deeply personal, the message of "Fly" is universal, which Tone believes is driving the song's success.

"For me, it was the music industry and my career," he said, "but then there's like so many aspects, so many walks of life where people are like, 'Yo, I'm feeling the same way. I just want to spread my wings.'" 

Tone said seeing that connection has been the biggest reward thus far. “Usually I make a lot of love songs, so having songs [where] I'm just kind of being real transparent ... and just seeing it resonate with people [has] been the payoff for me," he said. "I'm happy about that.” 

"Fly" is a preview of Tone's upcoming album, The Edge, which is set to release on May 15.

The song is on DSPs; the music video is available to watch on YouTube.
