Chloe x Halle‘s new album Ungodly Hour has finally been released.
While making the album, Halle told Teen Vogue that they were “so excited to just flip the narrative of being the perfect angel and show the other side[s] of us…. The dark side, the naughty side, the things that happen that you don’t see behind the scenes.” Chloe revealed that the title for the album came about after they worked with Disclosure. “We wrote this song [the title track “Ungodly Hour”] with Disclosure, and we had the best time. I forgot what I was watching, but I heard the phrase ‘ungodly hour’ and wrote it in my notes. [It] kind of stuck out to all of us, and we were like, ‘What can you say with this?’ We all came up with this sentence: ‘Love me at the ungodly hour,’ which means love me when I’m at my worst; love me when I’m not all dolled up and made up. Love me when all my insecurities are out on the table,” she said. The much talked about Nicki Minaj and Tekashi 6ix9ine new video for 'Trollz' just dropped. In the colorful new video, the pair address haters head-on in the lyrics.

[@bailproject],” the rapper wrote. “The fund provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford to pay bail while awaiting their trial. We want to protect and support the thousands of brave people working on the front lines of social justice, using their voices to demand AN END to the targeting and killing of Black Americans by the police. #BlackLivesMatter“ BTS drops a new music video for their song "We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal" on Thursday (June 11) as part of Festa 2020.

Nicki Minaj and Tekashi 6ix9ine are reuniting for the single, “Trollz”. Both rappers tweeted the announcement, confirming the collab after weeks of rumors and teasing on Instagram. In a tweet, Minaj announced that a portion of the proceeds from “Trollz” and its merch will be going to the Bail Project, a fund that provides free assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford bail. In photos, it looks like Minaj rolled up to wherever Tekashi 6ix9ine is finishing home confinement, stay-at-home orders be damned, potentially for a “Trollz” music video. The interestingly posed pics from 6ix9ine’s Baby Shark lair already have fans wondering if this, a Tekashi 6ix9ine collaboration, is how Nicki Minaj announces her rumored pregnancy.
