Big Sean

Tastemakers and music lovers gathered in New York Tuesday night (Aug. 6) as G.O.O.D. Music rapper Big Sean hosted a private listening session for his upcoming album, 'Hall of Fame.' While speaking to the crowd about what to expect, he went on a tangent talking to the audience about his confusion at not being recognized as "one of the best rappers" out right now.

Actress-turned-singer Ariana Grande harks back to a Lil Kim classic on her latest single, 'Right There,' which finds her sharing the mic with Big Sean.

Detroit's Big Sean has now unveiled the tracklist and album art for his upcoming sophomore release, 'Hall Of Fame.' The project features Nas, Kid Cudi, Nicki Minaj, Juicy J, and Miguel, among others.

Miley Cyrus 2.0 continues to infiltrate hip-hop. We've seen the once-innocent Hannah Montana kick it with gully rap stars like Juicy J and Mike WiLL Made It, but now it appears she's chummed up to Big Sean, providing the eye candy in his new 'Fire' video.

Nothing was the same, except Drake's track record. With both one of hottest records -- 'Started From the Bottom' -- and arguably the hottest verse -- on Migos' 'Versace' remix -- of the year to his name, Aubrey extends his hot streak with 'All Me,' the new single from his upcoming third album.

Last week, MTV revealed its list of nominees for the 2013 VMAs. And while there are a few welcome surprises (like Flying Lotus, A-Trak and Janelle Monae), a lot of the categories just feel... same-y. Put it this way: Justin Timberlake and Macklemore, aka your mom's favorite rapper, are up for almost half the awards being presented.

Kid Cudi will be bringing 'Indicud' to live audiences this fall.
