After touring Europe with 50 Cent and Tony Yayo, Uncle Murda is back on his Brooklyn bullsh*t and continuing to speak his truth regardless of who’s feelings he may hurt in the process.

Dropping off some new visuals to “If I Die,” Uncle Murda puts shows what happens when foo’s try to creep on him and much to the surprise and shock of a mourning family, he attends the funeral of said op on some wild disrespectful ish. Seems like an Uncle Murda thing to do.

Keeping with that G’d up vibe, 38 Spesh, Benny The Butcher and Che ‘Nior get their back-in-the-day on and in their clip to “Underestimated,” the trio use some kids as stand-ins for their verses as they reminisce about their lives growing up in the struggle and the ways they went about their childhoods.

It was pretty dope.

Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from G Herbo, Lithe, and more.

Katy Perry Gives a Sneak Peek Into Lifetimes Tour, Speaks on Lady Gaga & More | Billboard News

Katy Perry is about to hit the road with her Lifetimes Tour after nearly eight years, and the pop star shares what her fans can expect from the new trek, what the setlist is going to include and more!

Are you excited for Katy Perry to go back on tour? Let us know in the comments!

Tetris Kelly: 
Katy Perry just announced she’s heading to space. But before she does, we talk to her about Gaga, her daughter Daisy and how she’s bringing us to her planet on the Lifetimes World Tour. And we have an exclusive first look at the stage.

So tell me how good you feel that you’re gonna get to see everybody, all across the globe. 

Katy Perry:
It’ll be the first time I’ve seen everyone in this way, you know, for almost seven and a half, eight years. So they say that, you know, it only takes seven years for all of your cells to rejuvenate, so I’m biologically, I’m a whole different human.

Brand new Katy. 

Brand new human. It’s a brand new me. 

That’s amazing. And then, I mean, you’ve always had iconic looks. That’s a part of your whole thing. And like every tour has this personality that people get excited to come see, especially the Vegas show.

The photos went wide, I mean, me and a toilet with a poop. 

So what’s your favorite part of planning this, and how do you make them feel so different? 

I feel like I have created completely different worlds with every single tour that I’ve ever done, even from the very beginning, when I didn’t have a lot of resources, I still created a world. And the worlds have just gotten bigger and bigger, and they’re very experiential. I mean, I remember my one of my first tours, the California Dreams Tour, we were like injecting the smell of cotton candy into the arenas before the audiences loaded in.

Breaking Down Kendrick Lamar’s Revolutionary Year | Billboard News

Kendrick Lamar has had a year full of big wins and big performances. We’re breaking down his hottest moments.

What’s your favorite song that he’s dropped? Let us know in the comments!

Tetris Kelly:
It’s been Kendrick Lamar’s year, and as we’ve taken this month to highlight Latin and Black artists, we close out Black History Month by spotlighting someone who is what the culture’s feeling. After a Drake beef that reached a peak with the release of “Not Like Us,” K. Dot had to pop out and show ’em at his Juneteenth show. That Billboard No. 1 was his fourth, and he’s collected two more since including the recent topper “Luther” with SZA. SZA also joined him on the world’s biggest stage at this year’s Super Bowl. Oh yeah, and that was after he racked up five Grammys at this year’s ceremony. Kendrick Lamar, the icon, the legend, the moment, and we salute you.

Carín León Talks New Country-Influenced Album, ‘Palabra De To’s’ Inspiration & More | Billboard In Conversation

Ahead of Carín León’s debut performance at Viña del Mar, the Regional Mexican singer shared his thoughts about the impact he has made worldwide with his music, the inspiration behind his latest album, Palabra De To’s, how he is incorporating country influences into his new album for 2025, his musical inspirations and more!

Ingrid Fajardo:
Hi, friends at Billboard. Today we are really happy because we’re here at Viña del Mar with the great Carín León.

Carín León:
Thank you so much. 

How are you? It’s a pleasure to have you!

Thank you. 

We’re so honored to have you here at Viña, on the day of your show. 

We’re almost there, almost desperate and a little restless, nervous, but fascinated to be here and so far away.

Your debut at Viña del Mar, can you believe it? Obviously it’s a very different crowd that maybe hasn’t listened to a lot of regional, and now …

Yes, look, the truth is that I think, and I always say this, we had no idea when we started this whole thing. We didn’t know how far we’d go or all the things we’d be able to achieve. But it makes me really happy that this is happening with Latin music in general, and above everything else, with our Regional Mexican genre. Today, everyone listens to it everywhere, so we’re here, happy with life and eager to continue promoting Mexico’s name, especially here since we’re so far away. It’s a really important show.

And I love that because it’s been opening — I don’t know if you’ve noticed — but opening different doors. You were in Madrid with an incredible concert. You literally brought “El Palenque” to Madrid.

What did you think of the game? Let us know in the comments below!

Travis Scott: 

Right now, my favorite sport is baseball. Baseball is like, kind of like a chill, moderate sport, and with a little high energy. I just like the finesse of it. It’s just fire. My mom, my grandmothers, my dad, my aunts, and my whole family always went HBCU, Prairie View, Grambling. So I come from a long line of family that’s been there. It’s always been instilled in me. So it’s good to just try to, like, uplift it and get it to the next level. 

Tyla: 

Am I an athlete? Guys, I don’t even know what a bleacher is. I don’t know how to catch, how to throw, but Imma a play because this is for charity, a good cause. A lot of people showed out. People are screaming excited. 

Teyana Taylor

I feel like, if I put my mind to any sport, I could really do any sport. I’m very athletic. I wouldn’t say I’m like, the best, but like, I put my mind to it, yeah. 

Swae Lee: 

I used to play softball when I was like eight. I caught like eight balls last year. So, you know, I’m saying in the outfield with it.

Sydney Thomas: 

I’ve never played softball before, so I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes. I don’t talk trash. I’m very calm, but I will destroy.

Slim:

I’m an athlete. 

Bun B:

Who me? I’m in the service industry.

Slim:

I ain’t trying to do too- nothing that’s gonna make my knees go bad. I just run straight. Let’s do track.

Speaking of the big day, ‘Emilia Pérez’ leads with 13 Oscar nominations to ‘Wicked’s’ 10. Both films join a very prestigious list of musicals to have received 10 or more Oscar nominations that include: 1965’s ‘The Sound of Music’ starring Julie Andrews, 1961’s ‘West Side Story’ with Rita Moreno, and 2002’s ‘Chicago’ starring the stacked cast of Queen Latifah, Cathria Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, and Renee Zellweger.

Sebastián Yatra Talks New Single ‘La Pelirroja,’ New Album & More | Billboard In Conversation

Ahead of Sebastián Yatra’s performance at Viña del Mar, the singer sits down with Billboard to share the inspiration behind his upcoming single, “La Pelirroja,” reveals a new album is coming this year, his friendship with Carlos Vives, performing on Broadway and more!

Leila Cobo:
Hi, Sebas.

Sebastián Yatra:
Hi, Leila. How are you?

It’s been many years. I was here with my story of sadness, and I said the last time I sat down to talk with Sebastián seriously was when he put out Dharma, and we did an Instagram Live.

And we were also in Austin for City Limits.

No, for SXSW. 

SXSW we saw each other.

Ah, you’re right! SXSW.

We were there having a conversation with the public and live.

It was fun!

It was super cool. 

And what has happened since then? 

What hasn’t happened? Wow! What I can tell you that hasn’t happened yet is that I haven’t put out a new album since Dharma.

I know. 

So I haven’t put out anything in three years.

Why, Sebastián?

With my albums, I’ve taken a long time with each one. It’s been almost 10 years of my career and up until now I’ve put out three albums, so it ends up being one every three years. 

Like the old days?

Yes, like the old days a little bit. We’ll do one and we’ll give it time like every song someone puts out. I think that there are some songs that are really special, and especially in today’s world, there’s a lot of information, and it’s worth it to give them their place.

Drake Ties With Jay-Z & Taylor Swift’s Record on Billboard 200 | Billboard News

Drake has officially tied the record of having 14 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 with his latest album with PARTYNEXTDOOR on ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.’ Keep watching to see how the three have achieved this feat, and who has the most No. 1s on the Billboard 200!

Who do you think will break the tie? Let us know in the comments below!

Tetris Kelly: 

Drake just grabbed his 14th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U” featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, but outside of the memes we are definitely about to discuss, did you know that he now ties the record for most No. 1s ever on that chart ever with Jay-Z and Taylor Swift? We’re breaking down this historic feat. Just a few of Drake’s 14 chart toppers include ‘Take Care,’ ‘Views,’ and ‘Certified Lover Boy.’ Even after his current feud with Kendrick Lamar, he has captured the attention of the internet with the new album, returning to his Loverboy era. Drake was ready to move on. In “GIMME A HUG,” debuting at No. 6 on the Hot 100, he rapped – and “Nokia” did just that, debuting at No. 10. Both songs have been taking social media by storm with memes & TikTok renditions, with even Drake poking fun at his own lyrics by posting these. Drake now has 80 Hot 100 Top 10s, which is the most in history, leaving us asking, “Where the f**k the function?”

And Taylor Swift herself also happens to be a fan of Drizzy, and the pop superstar has 14 of her own No. 1 albums including ‘Fearless,’ ‘Red,’ and ‘1989.’ And by releasing her older albums as “Taylor’s Version,” most of her albums have topped the chart twice. Iconic. The third in this record-holding trio is another hip hop icon is Jay Z.

If there’s a bag to be had you can bet that Benny The Butcher is ready to pick it up as the man has infinite bars when some paper’s involved and as the most active member of Griselda out on these streets, you can expect that man to pop up on blocks you’d never seen him before.

Linking up with P.R.E.M.O. for the visuals to “Change Your Life (Remix),” The Butcher heads down to South Beach from Buffalo, NY to turn up with the iced out rapper as they hole up in a private room where they’re joined by a gang of thick bikini clad women who count their cash while indulging in some adult juice and hookah’s as a reward for an “honest” day’s work. Y’all just know they messed out the count being that tipsy.

On a cinematic level, Don Toliver attempts to show he can do his thing in Hollywood if given the chance and in his clip to “Tore Up,” DT finds himself in a Mad Max kind of world where the rule of law no longer applies and it’s basically every man for himself. At least strip clubs is still a thing in a post-apocalyptic world, right?

Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Wiz Khalifa and Chevy Woods, 38 Spesh, and more.

P.R.E.M.O. & BENNY THE BUTCHER – “CHANGE YOUR LIFE (REMIX)”

DON TOLIVER – “TORE UP”

WIZ KHALIFA & CHEVY WOODS – “ONE HUNDRED/BUSINESS MEETINGS”
