Aloe Blacc

It's been eight years since the celebrated trio of Evidence, Rakaa Iriscience and DJ Babu released an album together, so the anticipation is understandably high. The wait is almost over though as Dilated Peoples' 'Directors of Photography' is scheduled to arrive next month.

Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Hudson, Ed Sheeran and more celebrated America with great performances at the 2014 Philly 4th of July Jam.

Chart-topping superstars The Roots, Nicki Minaj and Aloe Blacc are among the acts scheduled to perform at the 21st anniversary of Philadelphia’s Wawa Welcome America July 4th festival.

There’s no escaping Aloe Blacc’s aspirational jam 'The Man,' which has been featured prominently in a Beats by Dre commercial. Now comes the video, which shows the crooner going back in time and recapturing historic moments of the past.

The top of the year is always a bit slow when it comes to new music releases but March is changing that trend. A few oft-delayed albums will finally see the light of day.

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres dances her way through the new Beats Music commercial, which will be played during the 2014 Super Bowl on Sunday (Feb. 2). The clip features Aloe Blacc's cheery 'Can You Do This.'

Aloe Blacc's anthemic tune 'The Man' became a huge hit after it was featured in a Beats by Dre commercial last year. With the song currently in the Top 10 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart, the soul man has now released the remix featuring in-demand rapper Kid Ink.

Bruno Mars may not have an album scheduled for 2014, but he's still looking to stay on the map with his Moonshine Jungle Tour. The 'Gorilla' singer will start the North American leg of the tour in April, and this time, he'll be joined by some special guests.

Aloe Blacc's song 'Wake Me Up' currently sits at No. 4 after spending 17 weeks on the chart, and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere soon. The just-released video to the acoustic version isn't exactly hurting its relevancy either.

It's basically a fact that Pharrell is enjoying the best year of his career, but it isn't just super stars like Robin Thicke and Daft Punk who are reaping the fruits of his labor.
