Pusha T Announces New Single With Jay Z Dropping Tonight
Pusha T's "Drug Dealers Anonymous" will precede his next album, "King Push".
Pusha T promised us his 2015 project, Darkest Before Dawn, was the album before the album, and while we've heard that one before only to be left waiting indefinitely, the GOOD Music President seems to be delivering on the promise, announcing the lead single for King Push today.
According to the artwork posted to his Instagram account, the track will be titled "Drug Dealers Anonymous," and will feature none other than Jay Z. The caption on the post reveals that the new track will be released tonight (Tuesday, May 31). This will be Jay Z's second verse this month, appearing on a remix of Fat Joe and Remy Ma's "All The Way Up" just last week

Future & Jay Z To Release Single With DJ Khaled
Southside mentioned the song during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid.
Stop the presses!! Future and Jay Z have a song together... with DJ Khaled. This revelation comes courtesy of 808 Mafia producer Southside, who mentioned the record during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid.
"I got the new single with Future and Jay Z too," Southside said. "And Khaled. That shit's crazy."
Southside revealed that he produced the song with Jake One and a producer named G-Coup. Khaled has a history of bringing huge names together, so the fact that he is involved makes the Future-Jay Z pairing more believable. As does the fact that Jay Z is now Khaled's manager. This is not the first time Southside has offered a juicy bit of insider information re: Future. In November, he mentioned that Future was sitting on six albums and three mixtapes. (Fewtch has blessed the streets with one album and one mixtape since then.)
Southside mentions the Future-Jay Z-Khaled single at the 3:30 mark below. The whole 20-minute interview is worth a listen -- the Atlanta producer discusses his role in Kanye West's The Life of Pablo, how he and Flocka changed the sonic landscape of hip hop, the time Kanye told him he was the future of music, and more.

Jay Z & Timbaland Testify In Court For “Big Pimpin” Trial
Jay Z & Timbaland showed up to court on Tuesday & Wednesday to testify in their "Big Pimpin" trial.
Jay Z & long time collaborator, Timbaland, showed up to an L.A. court room on Tuesday & Wednesday to testify in a trial surrounding copyright infringement over their 1999 hit collab “Big Pimpin’.” The two are being sued by the heirs of Baligh Hamdi, an Egyptian composer who created the 1957 song “Khosara Khosa.”
According to the Associated Press, Jay Z spent 90 minutes answering a series of questions and recounting his life, successes, and the creative process that led him and Timbaland to create “Big Pimpin’.” To prove his point, Jay brought out physical copies of his 1999 album Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter to show the juror the liner notes that credit "Khosara Khosara." “We have the rights as you can see on the bottom of the CD,” Hov told jurors.
Later, the Roc Nation mogul went on to explain that he thought the rights to “Khosara Khosara” had been properly negotiated after issues were raised following the release of “Big Pimpin’.” According to their lawyers, Hamdi’s family had been repeatedly paid for the use of “Khosara Khosara,” the song in which four of its 74 notes are repeated throughout “Big Pimpin’,” an Egyptian music expert claimed in court.

Jay Z & Beyoncé Are Renting A Mansion In L.A. For $150k A Month
Jay Z and Beyoncé have picked out a pretty amazing home to rent in Holmby Hills.
It's no secret that Jay Z and Beyoncé have a whole lot of money to their names, but right now, they're still looking to rent rather than own, at least when it comes to living in L.A.
The couple just did the paperwork for a $45 million space in Holmby Hills, but rather than dropping 8 figures on a home, they're going with a more reasonable 6-figure rent. Hove and Bey will pay $150k per month for the 20,000 square foot mansion, which they've signed a one-year lease for. It's a pretty smart decision if the two are looking to move around a lot over the next few years without being tied to properties, and if you're Jay Z and Beyoncé, why wouldn't you?

Jay Z & Beyonce Are Getting The Boot From Their Holmby Hills Estate In L.A.
It looks like Jay Z & Beyonce are getting the boot from their L.A. mansion.
About eight months after moving into their 16,000 square foot Holmby Hills Estate in Los Angeles, The Carters are having to pack their bags again, and not under their own will.
According to TMZ, the Holmby Hills estate that Jay Z & Beyonce rent for a light $150K a month has been just sold, and the Carters have 60 days to get everything out. Jay Z could’ve bought the mansion for around $35 million, which is what the new buyer paid, but apparently he wasn’t interested.
Not to worry though, TMZ has learned that The Carters are already on the hunt for a new pad in the Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Holmby Hills area. All for the benefit of their daughter Blue Ivy, who was enrolled in a private 15k toddler program.

Jay Z Plays Undercover Fanboy At Beyonce's Made In America Show
Jay Z was the most hyped fan in the crowd during his wife's Made In America performance.
Made In America might have been created by Jay Z, but this year, the festival was totally owned by Beyonce. And her hubby seems to agree.
Hov didn't come on stage during Bey's headlining set. Instead, he snuck into the crowd, and, dressed in a grey hoodie, he looked like just another fan. In fact, he looked like one of the BeyHive's most devoted fanboys, rocking back and forth and singing along to songs like "1+1" and "7/11."

Jay Z Caved And Got An Instagram Account
Give the homie @hovsince96 a follow.
Jay Z finally caved and got an Instagram account, opting for the handle @hovsince96. He dedicated his inaugural post with a tribute to Michael Jackson, who would have turned 57 years old today. The picture depicts a younger Jay Z rocking a Latrell Sprewell jersey and posing with the late singer. “Happy Birthday to the King! This may be my first and last post," he wrote.
Jay Z isn't much of a Twitter guy either, except for that time when he rattled off an extensive Twitter defense of Tidal.
As of press time, it's been three hours since Jay Z's post and he's already racked up 70,000 Instagram followers.
