Singer/Songwriter The Dream finally released the lead single from his new album 'IV Play' which is due in stores next month. Terius takes it back to his 90s R&B roots in the title track which I am absolutely in love with. So many artist have talked about bringing R&B back and I believe that The Dream is the first to actually do it successfully by releasing this track.

'When you're working through songs and songs, and you're working on a Beyonce album, and a Rihanna, and a Kelly, and you're doing all of these things to be able to find that, 'IV Play' is a really great record,' he says.

The all-star roster for The Dream's new album includes the likes of Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, Jay-Z and more.

Thoughts?

Damn. Whose album isn't Kelly Rowland going to be on this Summer? Singer/Songwriter The-Dream revealed that Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Fabulous and Big Sean will all appear on his new album 'IV Play' which will be released on May 28th.

It is no secret that The-Dream, whose real name is Terius Nash, was able to land such big acts being that he is the mastermind behind most of their hit records.

Check out his interview with 106 & Park below.

Power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z sat courtside tonight at the Barclays arena for the Nets game. Beyonce rocked her Dangerously In Love era hairdo' with an African ensemble and Louboutin's as she watched the game with her hubby. Jay-Z stepped his fashion game up a bit while rocking a black mink hoodie. The two look so happy together.

Beyonce is currently in the studio gearing up for her fifth studio album.

Jay-Z took things back to his younger life when he caught the subway in NY to the Barclays Arena. My fav blogger Necole Bitchie caught footage of the rapper traveling with his security fleet as he perched it on the train. All of black America went crazy when they realized that it was indeed the superstar sitting next to them during their commute.

Jay seemed very cool for the most part but a little nervous.

Watch below.

I knew that the opening of Jay-Z's new Barclays Center arena for the Brooklyn Nets would not be official without the blessings of his wife Beyonce. Queen B surprisingly graced the stage last night in front of thousands of fans to perform her hits 'Diva' and 'Crazy In Love'. The crowd definitely went crazy as Blue Ivy's mother strutted herself across the stage in black boots and black booty shorts.

The shade came when Jay-Z missed his cue for 'Crazy In Love' and Bey went silent.

Check out the performance below. I secretly got life when Beyonce dropped the mic and walked off stage.

Just one day after his wife took to her official website to post about newcomer Rita Ora, rapper Jay-Z sits down with Vevo to discuss her #1 single 'R.I.P'.

According to the Huffington Post, singer Beyonce will join her husband Jay-Z and many more for a surprise performance next weekend at the Made In America Festival in Philadelphia.

"Beyonce will hit the stage in a surprise performance at her hubby's festival next weekend in [Pennsylvania]," one insider told the Huffington Post.

The two have taken turns throughout the years doing surprise performances during each other's shows so this would come as no surprise.

Drake, Run DMC, and Jill Scott are just a few of the festival's headliners.

It must be nice to travel to Paris when you aren't even six months old. Baby Blue Ivy was spotted with her parents in Paris, France today. It was nice to see Jay carry the baby for a change. In other news, why does Beyonce look wider than a Buick?

The couple are overseas touring with the Watch the Throne tour.

Hip Hop legends Jay Z & Kanye West throw us the visual for the third single off of Watch The Throne. 'No Church In The Wild' was directed by Romain Gavras and shot in Prague. Although neither of the rappers or Frank appear in the video it was very intriguing.

The video gives a riot feel. Citizens running around town setting things on fire, flipping cars and fighting the police. The people want justice for something in the video chile I just don't know what it is though. *Kanye shrug*.  The video was very much apocalyptic. The imagery was well shot and executed correctly.

Feast your eyes on the amazing visual that is 'No Church In The Wild' below.

Rapper Jay-Z took a big step yesterday in saying that he supports gay marriage. The announcement comes just says after the President of the United States Barack Obama says that he also supports the cause. Jay-Z went as far as to call the situation 'discrimination' for not allowing people to marry who they love because of social standards.

I applaud Jay-Z for taking such a big step. It will be interesting to see which other celebs, especially males, show their support for the gay community.

Boxer Floyd Mayweather announced on the radio in Atlanta yesterday that he too is in support of gay marriage.

The NY Times is reporting that rapper Jay-Z will announce tomorrow morning that he will headline a two-day 28 act Budweiser Made In America music festival which will be held in Philadelphia at Fairmount Park. Tickets for the event, which will take place 9/1-9/2, go on sale May 23rd with a portion of the proceeds going to the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey.

It has yet to be announced who the 28-acts will be, however word is that it is not out the question that singer Beyonce might grace the stage.

Newly parents Beyonce and Jay-Z attended a book release party last night for the launch of Erica Reid's 'The Thriving Child' book series release. Erica, the wife of record executive LA Reid, just released her new book about parenting. The event was also attended by singer Mary J. Blige who doesn't have any kids (no shade) and Beyonce's mom.

Nonetheless, Beyonce has been in the streets a lot lately ahead of her return in Atlantic City later this month.

Beyonce and Jay treated Solange's son Julez to a Nets games last night. The family looked like they were enjoying themselves as Jay played with the young one. I guess they are trying to make Julez feel like they haven't forgotten him since giving birth to their own child.

Is it me or has Bey been sampling Solange's wardrobe lately?

Beyonce and Tina Knowles were joined by Jay-Z's mother last night in New York City at a cocktail reception with First Lady Michelle Obama. All three ladies looked quite nice at the event which was held in support of President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.

Is it me or does Tina need to lay off the face surgery?

New parents Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted in NYC for the first time with their newborn Blue Ivy. Beyonce covered the little one as they made their way around town. I don't think Bey was trying to hide her from the cameras but rather keep her warm in the cold.

Pics below.

I will admit that I definitely laughed at NBC's Saturday Night Live skit of Jay-Z and Beyonce introducing their newborn daughter to the world. You are definitely in for a treat with appearances from Nicki Minaj, LL Cool J, Brad and Angelina, Taylor Swift, and more.

Peep the skit below. In all honesty, I think the couple would get a kick out of it too.
