Turn Up The Music

Accepting R&B Artist of the Year

Game is currently at work on his upcoming album F.I.V.E.: Fear is Victory’s Evolution, having already enlisted producers including Cool & Dre and DJ Khaled to co-executive produce the project.

But for the LP’s title track, which will also serve as its single, producer Sap says that helmed a banger for the Compton, California emcee. “I actually produced this record for Game called ‘F.I.V.E.,’ featuring Chris Brown and Lil Wayne,” he told XXLMag.com. “That should be dropping anytime now. Supposedly it’ dropping Memorial Day Weekend, but I’m not sure.”

“F.I.V.E” will feature Weezy and Breezy and, according to the Delaware producer, will have an East Coast sound. “It’s definitely got an East Coast style a little bit—it kind of reminds you of how that ‘Real’ joint is,” he said, referencing a Meek Mill cut. “It’s not a South beat. It’s more of an up tempo beat, but it’s not a club record. It’s more of a traditional hip-hop beat, like a hard sample. It’s Game’s style but it’s still something you can hear Wayne on, too.”

“I told [director] Colin [Tilley] when I called him, ‘We gotta video, we gotta do the best video, we gotta win awards, and you gotta really take it there because we got nothin’ but megastars on one record,” DJ Khaled told MTV News’ Sway Calloway from the Universal Studios set where he shot the video at the end of April.

Last summer, Khaled hosted “I’m on One,” an inescapable rap jam that partnered Lil Wayne, Drake and Rick Ross for the first time. It seemed that the #1 Billboard rap single would be hard to top, but with Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown on “Take it to the Head,” the Cash Money DJ is making a serious run for hip-hop’s 2012 summer anthem. The stakes are high, and the video, which premieres Sunday on MTV Jams, is equally as huge.

The video set is reminiscent of the 1974 disaster film “Earthquake,” where most of Los Angeles is destroyed by a quake that registers 9.9 on the Richter scale. “Colin Tilley is an amazing director, so he had this amazing idea where he wanted fire behind us, trains broken, ground shaking,” Khaled described. “We’re giving you new stuff.”

IN OTHER NEWS: Colin Tilley recently received 2 nominations at the MVPA Awards for his work on the “Look At Me Now” video.

The Girls Aloud star went as far as saying that she fully supports RiRi’s decision to publically forgive Breezy for the attack – which saw the Turn Up The Music singer receive 180 days of community service, as well as five years probation.

Speaking about the Bajan babe’s decision to work with Chris on a remix of her track Birthday Cake, Chezza told In:Demand With Alex James: “I think it’s really kind of her actually. She’s come out and publicly forgiven him really.

“I think it’s about time we all did if I’m completely honest, if you want my opinion.”

The Call My Name singer continued: “I work with people all the time with my charity that are transformed characters. They’ve done things when they were young that they regret, they’ve been to prison and they’re now upstanding members of the public and help our community and are amazing people.

“I think because he’s in the limelight… he hasn’t had the chance to be forgiven or to forgive himself because we haven’t let him. Now that she’s come out and embraced him again, I think it’s time we all moved on. That guy is talented as hell.”

Despite Cheryl’s comments, Rihanna and Chris recently unfollowed each other on Twitter, after Breezy seemed to offend the We Found Love singer with lyrics in a new freestyle.
