50 Cent is making another attempt at rap relevance with the forthcoming release of his Gangsta Grillz mixtape. ‘Remain Calm‘ is the first release from that project and features verses from Snoop Dogg and Precious Paris.

DISCLAIMER: She ain’t for everybody. Florence + The Machine performed their new single ‘No Light No Light‘ on the quarterfinals elimination show for NBC’s The Voice.It’s the latest single from her sophomore album Ceremonials, in stores now.

It was an interesting night for the contestants on #TeamAdam and #TeamCeeLo on last night’s quarterfinals round on NBC’s The Voice. Team Adam and Team Cee Lo performed for their second time this season during the live shows and really made it a hard battle for both judges to choose who would be instantly eliminated at the end of the show. Check out...
