Nicki Minaj posted this photo of herself with Pharrell in the studio late this week.
Sounds like there is new music from Nicki in store! Based off of the popularity of other Pharrell produced songs, ("Blurred Lines" ring any bells?) whatever they are making is going to be a hit.
Perhaps Pharrell is helping Nicki with her upcoming album, "Pink Friday: The Pink Print"? Guess we will have to wait to find out!
Happy New Music Monday! For this week's Rap-Up, we are going to report on some of the new music that came out today!
Baby I- Ariana Grande
Announced last Monday, 20 year old Ariana released the brand new single today, "Baby I", and we can tell you that it is absolutely incredible. That girl can really hit the high notes in this new track. Within hours of the single being available on iTunes, it skyrocketed up to #2 on the iTunes Top-10.

Make sure to buy "Baby I" on iTunes now!
Love More- Chris Brown ft. Nicki Minaj
Breezy is back, and this time he has teamed up with Nicki Minaj (something we have been waiting for since the "Right By My Side") to make a single called "Love More". Chris & Nicki premiered half of the song a few weeks back at the BET Awards, but this is the first time studio vocals have been released. Take a listen below!
UPDATE: "Love More" is now on iTunes! Get it here.
Birthday- Selena Gomez
Could it be that there is more Selena Gomez news? Yup. Today is her 21st birthday (Happy Bday Selena!) and she premiered some very mature party visuals for the track "Birthday" off of her album "Stars Dance". Peep the vid below.
Selena's new album, "Stars Dance" is out tomorrow.
Here’s a Rap-Up of whats new and popular this week.
Myx Fusions Moscato Drink From Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj has partnered with Myx Fusions Moscato to release her own alcoholic drink. This is just one more thing for Nicki to add to her list. Now the Young Money rapper has her own fragrance, a clothing line (coming this fall at K-Mart), and now a fruity drink (Not to mention all of her platinum selling records).
"Minaj is between meetings in New York City, talking about a new venture that puts her in a head-to-head competition with hip-hop’s biggest stars, Jay-Z and Diddy among them. She’s entered the wine business with Myx Fusions Moscato and a line of sweet and fruity Moscato wine in single-serving blue bottles.
“If I’m sippin’ in the club, Myx Moscato,” she raps on Ciara’s “I’m Out,” and her “High School” video with mentor Lil Wayne and her “Up in Flames” video feature bottles of Myx.
Spokesperson? Not quite. She’s a co-owner. Aiming to tap into the rapidly expanding Moscato market, estimated to be growing at 25% annually, Minaj partnered with Mona Scott-Young, Myx Fusions Moscato CMO, and Peter Reaske, Myx Fusions Moscato CEO."

Justin Timberlake Releases New Single and Details About New Album
Last Friday, Justin Timberlake debuted a brand new single "Take Back the Night", straight off volume 2 of his album, "The 20/20 Experience: Part 2 of 2". From the second we heard the single, we could instantly tell it was good ole' JT. But, no complaining there. I'm just happy that he came back to music.
You can preorder Timberlake's new album on iTunes, and get the new single instantly. "The 20/20 Experience: Part 2 of 2" will be available on September 30th. Details here.
Lady Gaga is Back
Finally the return of Lady Gaga! Mother Monster has been mostly quiet for the past few months after cancelling the rest of her US Born this Way Ball Tour after needing hip surgery. She took to her social network accounts to announce the release dates for her new single and album, "Artpop". More info on that can be found here.
Carly Rae Jepsen: The Pro Baseball Player
Not. The "Call Me Maybe" singer threw the first pitch at the Rays/Astros game in Tampa on Sunday, and things went, well, quickly downhill. It just when horribly. But even greater is the look on Jepsen's face after. Take a look for yourself below.
Perhaps it's a good thing Jepsen plans on sticking to singing and isn't looking to change to become the next MLB All-Star.
Selena Gomez Stars Dance Album Preorder
