John Legend stars alongside his model wife Chrissy Teigen in this newly-unveiled music video for "All of Me" - the third single taken from his fourth studio LP Love In The Future, released early last month.
We get a candid three-dimensional view of the relationship of the GOOD Music crooner and his other half in this moving black-and-white clip directed by Nabil Elderkin (Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Nas).

Pusha T announces 'My Name Is My Name' new album release date

Big Sean - "Fire" | New Music
Big Sean inspires and encourages in his latest uplifting leak, "Fire," off his sophomore album, Hall Of Fame.
It's nice when we get a chance to reflect on how far we've come when we reach success. Being able to have a nice car and buying our parents a new home are just some of the ways we can spoil ourselves and our family or friends. On "Fire," the G.O.O.D. Music artist raps about buying his parents a new crib and his never-ending hustle. At the end of the track, he realizes his work is not just for the money but for "the feeling" and overcoming the odds, making it through the "fire."
The artwork posted above is the album's deluxe cover but you can see more of the packaging here. Sean's single, "Fire," will be on Hall Of Fame, out August 27.

Travi$ Scott signs to T.I.'s Grand Hustle label | Music News
Having already signed with G.O.O.D Music as a producer, it would have seemed like the next logical step for Travi$ Scott to go all the way and sign on to Kanye's label as an artist too - but it looks like the kid has other plans as T.I. announced on radio that he has signed the young rapper to his own label Grand Hustle, further building on his young empire of up and coming artists.
The deal has been in the works for a while now, as label boss T.I. reveals that he found Scott at the same as he found Iggy Azalea who has been the label's first lady for quite some time.
"I found [Travi$ Scott] online," Tip explains. "I was just getting out of prison and I was rebuilding, and I kinda like just cast a wide net. I need the best that right now has to offer. After casting that net, I got Trae the Truth, I had the pleasure of joining forces with him, Chip…Iggy Azalea, and also Travi$ Scott."
With two heavyweights in Hip-Hop seeking out the Houston-hailing rapper and producer, Scott appreciates being mentored and working with both T.I. and Kanye.
"It’s ill, it’s like the best of both worlds. You get to talk to these guys and they’re both well experienced. Tip is there with me like, ‘Whatever, bro.’ I’ll be like, ‘Man, I need this,’ and he’ll be like, ‘Man, I got you.’"

Kid Cudi announces he is no longer a part of G.O.O.D Music | News
The relationship between Kid Cudi and Kanye West has always been strong with Kanye calling Cudi one of his favourite artists, Cudi stating on "Dennis, Hook Me Up With That Whiskey" that West saved his life twice (we think just metaphorically), and their collaborations culminating in Cudi being on Ye's G.O.O.D Music label. Well as all good things must come to an end Cudi has surprisingly announced that he has now left G.O.O.D Music.
During an interview on Power 106, when casually asked how the label was treating him, Cudi began nonchalantly before dropping the bomb that he has left the label that houses Pusha T, Big Sean and Common amongst others.
"Everything is cool, everything is peace with everybody on the label, there's never been any issues. But I am announcing that I am no longer on G.O.O.D Music, and this is something that no one knows really."
Obviously shocked by the surprise announcement, jokes were made about Cudi not being able to put up with Kanye as his boss anymore which he quickly shrugged off saying, "I could never get tired of Kanye."
"I wanna focus on Wicked Awesome, I wanna focus on Chip and that's it. I wanna keep my sound going on the Cudi train."
It looks like we're not the only ones that will be shocked by the news as the Cleveland-hailing rapper went on to say that his former label mates will probably be finding out via the radio, too.
"I mean I don't have to tell nobody. I think nobody knows until now. I just talked to Kanye and told him that I wanted to do my own thing."
Cudi went on to say that he spoke to Don C and Jay Z before actually approaching Ye, to make sure he wouldn't offend his unofficial mentor with his decision.
Check out the full interview below to hear it from the man himself.
CyHi The Prynce - "Kick Back" | Music Video
G.O.O.D. Music emcee CyHi The Prynce is back on the scene with a video for the title track off his latest mixtape Ivy League: The Kick Back.
The visuals start off well, a house party with friends, drinks and snacks, and looks like it's going to settle into a documentation of late night buffoonery. Unfortunately for Cy and his mates, the story turns into an episode of The Shield when a breaking news alert brings the fun times to a grinding halt. Finger-pointing and name-calling ensue and the video ends in a "to be continued" manner.
Check out his latest project Ivy League: The Kick Back here.
