I know Wiz Khalifa fans are dying to hear the new Kush x Orange Juice mixtape, and that trailer didn't make their wait any easier.

The good news is, you can catch Wiz Khalifa alongside Wu-Tang's U-God and Jasmine Solano on their current tour. Yelawolf is going to jump onto the second half of the tour dates.

TOUR DATES:

This Neptunes produced track off the upcoming Battle of the Sexes album has a hilarious Tiger Woods theme.

Considering all the hype, I was expecting to see a lot more women and creativity in this video. Hopefully the track's remix with Trina, Diamond, and Eve provides some better visuals!

Ludacris' seventh album, Battle Of The Sexes, drops March 9th.

If you're gonna be in the Atlanta area on March 6th and want to check out Travis Porter's movie, buy your tickets here.

These kids are constantly looking for new ways to engage with their fans and I applaud their efforts. If the film is anything like Mike Jones' The American Dream, I know I'mma enjoy it!
