'Tha Carter IV' is due to be released on August 29, while Canadian rapper Drake's sophomore effort 'Take Care' is due to drop on October 24.

Lady GaGa Reveals 'You and I' Cover Art Amidst Copyright Infringement Lawsuit

Lady GaGa was recently hit with copyright infringement allegation over her single "Judas". Instead of issuing statement regarding that matter, she took to Twitter to post an official cover art for her next single "You and I". "You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don't love yourself," she tweeted along with the picture.



The cover art boasts two images of the Mother Monster posing as her male alter-ego Jo Calderone. Taken from a June 2010 photo shoot with photographer Nick Knight for Vogue Hommes Japan, both of the pictures feature her wearing a white tee and suit, having her black hair gelled up and smoking a cigarette.

Prior to revealing the artwork, GaGa hinted when music video for the single will arrive for fans' viewing pleasure. "The Music Video for 'You and I' will be my 1000th Tweet," so the outlandish singer/songwriter wrote. By Friday night, August 5, she has already posted 992 tweets.

Details of the video were previously revealed by GaGa in a radio interview. "The premise of the video is that I've walked all the way from New York City to Nebraska to get him back," she said. "I'm walking with no luggage and no nothing and it's just me and my ankles are bleeding a little bit and there's grass stuck in my shoes and I've got this outfit on and it's real sort of New York clothing and I'm sprinting."

"The [video is about the] idea that when you're away from someone you love, it's torture," she continued. "I knew I wanted the video to be about me sprinting back and walking hundreds of thousands of miles to get him back."

GaGa was accused of ripping off "Judas" by a singer named Rebecca Francescatti. The second single from album "Born This Way" was claimed by Rebecca as a copy of her 1999 song "Juda". Through a lawyer, she said, "Though the songs are different styles, the composition is the same and the chorus is the same melody."

Rebecca furthermore claimed that the similarities between the two songs are not a coincidence because her former bass player named Brian Gaynor is now employed by a music company that wrote 17 songs on GaGa's recent album. Thus, Rebecca "is [now] seeking recognition for what she created."

Lady GaGa's "Judas":

Katy Perry Makes History

After breaking Hot 100 record by spending 52 consecutive weeks - an entire year - in the top 10 of the U.S. single chart, Katy Perry is celebrating another accolade. The pop singer is poised to score her fifth No. 1 single with her latest offering "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)".



The single currently sits at No. 2. When it succeeds to follow its four predecessors by taking the penthouse of the chart, it will make her 2010 summer album "Teenage Dream", where the single appears, become the only album which produces such a feat in over 15 years of its history.

It will place the album next to Michael Jackson's 1987 "Bad" which also generates five separate No. 1s, but it makes the record come one step ahead of Justin Timberlake's 2006 "FutureSex/LoveSounds" and Lady GaGa's 2009 "The Fame" which both had four singles sitting at the top spot.

Overall, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" will be Perry's seventh No. 1 single during her entire career in music so far. She will be tied with the Mother Monster for having second-most No. 1s single. Both of them trail behind her best friend Rihanna who holds the record with eight chart-topping singles.

Beside giving her multiple No. 1 singles, "Teenage Dream" has also helped Perry bring home a lot of coveted awards this year. Just two weeks ago, she got nine nominations at MTV Video Music Awards which is going to announce its winners in a live ceremony from Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles on August 28.

Kanye West & Lady Gaga Among Group Invested In Upstart, Turntable.fm

Musicians are getting into the tech game heavy. Chamillionaire recently visited the TechCrunch Mobile Conference, and Justin Timberlake nabbed a piece of MySpace ... and now, Kanye West and Lady Gaga are the latest to put their money behind technology.



West and Gaga recently joined forces to put their money behind rising NYC start-up, Turntable.fm.

According to Business Insider, the celebrity investors teamed up with Union Square Ventures to give the invite-only social network a $7.5 million cash infusion.

For those not familiar Turntable.fm, it's centered on listening to music with others, giving a "thumbs up" to favorable tracks and earning "DJ points," which win users avatars in the form of colorful animals and weird shapes.

Critics have questioned whether the service is actual legal, but getting backing from music superstars such as Kanye and Lady Gaga should help in that department.

Bjork Premieres New Michel Gondry-Directed Video for 'Crystalline'

Bjork has just released a Michel Gondry-directed video for her new single, "Crystalline," and it's predictably gorgeous. Filled with stop-motion animation, an homage to early filmmaker Georges Melies, crystals growing in slow motion, hypnotic animated line drawings, the singer's verbal abstractions and, best, a wild drum-and-bass breakdown at the end that hopefully signals a trend, the song, and the video, continue to expand the singer's range. (Now if someone can add some bass to the track, it'll be finished.)



"Crystalline" is from the Icelandic singer's forthcoming full length "Biophilia," which has a street date of Sept. 26. Not only is the album to be released in the standard formats, but Bjork, ever the boundary-pusher, plans to release it as a series of mobile phone apps. Watch the video for "Crystalline" below.



Now tell me, honestly that, this beat doesn't go hard...I 'll call you a liar!!

Lloyd Says Ladies Can Get “An Orgasm” From His Album (Video)

In his latest interview, R&B singer Lloyd talked with Karmaloop in the midst of his touring with Lil Wayne, Keri Hilson & Far East Movement. The singer also recalls the craziest tour experience to be at an afterparty at the Boston stop, where a girl ended up taking his shirt off without his knowledge & he ended up wearing a hat instead.



As for what makes him the “King of Hearts,” Lloyd talks about his honesty, his sex game (lol!), compassion, passion, courage, and fearlessness. And just like the many R&B artists that have dabbled in rapping, Lloyd talks about having always “been a rapper,” which he showcases in his forthcoming mixtape that also includes features from The Game, Roscoe Dash, and Lil Wayne. There is still no release date for the mixtape .. :\

But the best answer: “What can a woman expect to get from my album? An orgasm” LOL!

Drake Details His New Album 'Take Care' and Previews Some Songs

Drake is getting ready to release his upcoming sophomore set "Take Care". Talking about the album to Rolling Stone recently, he said he is going to pour his emotions into it. The taste of what to expect from the album has been given in a form of two gloomy songs "Marvin's Room" and "Trust Issues".



However, 24-year-old Drizzy doesn't want people "to just hear a piece and judge the album on that." In the interview for the magazine's latest issue, the "Best I Ever Had" hitmaker reasoned, "With this album, I want to tell a whole story." He additionally said, "I hate singles."

In delving deeper into his emotions, he refused to let the success of his first album "Thank Me Later" get to his head. "In no way am I not proud of it," he stated, "but I think I got caught up in making it seem big and first-album-ish. I was a bit numb, a bit disconnected from myself. I wasn't able to slow down and realize what was going on around me."

The Grammy-winning MC recorded his new materials in low-key sessions in his longtime producer Noah "40" Shebib's studio. "This is home," he gushed. "If I'm in a big expensive studio, it starts messing with my head about what kind of music I should be making."

Some of the songs which were previewed included Rick Ross-featured song "Free Spirit", Lil Wayne-assisted track "The Real Her", and Shebib-produced tune "Shot for Me". The "Real Her" is described by the publication as "a narcotically woozy love song with detuned pianos," while the "Shot for Me" is "a marvel of melancholy bravado" with aching synthesizer notes.

The album will be released across the United States on October 24.

Otis - Jay Z - Kanye West (Audio)

So the verdicts are out, some say they hate the new song by Jay Z, and Kanye, Others say they love the No Hook fashion...Well we say Jay Z, and Hov Did exactly what they always do, Drop something Left of the competition, Raise the debates, and takeover from the arguments! This is what hip hop needs whether you like it or not, its these type of moves where you argue about the wordplay, and the simplicity. Where the new age argues the song doesn't have a catchy bass line, but hip hop official's scream for more of that "1994 Rap"

We personally here at Indytrack hustle and Over Time Grind, are just happy not to hear another Auto Tune Track from Yeezy Explaining some diabolical moment in life while he is overseas chillin lol. Just give us that old school Cocky My flow is better than your Kanye for a while...To Us Otis is not MJ from the Free Throw Line...But it is a easy Between The Legs 360 Dunk. Especially comparing to the other music that's springing a leak!

Producer of Leona Lewis' 'Collide' Responds to Plagiarism Rumor

Leona Lewis has recently dropped a fresh dance track called "Collide", but the release was marred with accusation that the song was a rip-off. It was reported that the new single was a copy of another up-beat track called "Penguin" by up-and-coming Swedish DJ Avicii aka Tim Berg.



"Collide" is produced by Sandy Vee and written by Autumn Rowe. Fuming over the plagiarism allegation, Sandy wrote on his Twitter to slam those spreading the rumor. "Talk only if you know what u r talking about....if not shut up. FYI , check the credits, u will find Tim Berg, Autumn and I," he tweeted.

The copycat rumor was first run exclusively by Digital Spy. "Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Scott Mills have been playing 'Penguin' for months now, but this week we've realized Simon Cowell and Leona Lewis have stolen our record. 'Collide' is identical to Avicii's track!" a source told the publication.

While Sandy has already responded to the plagiarism rumor, Leona herself still kept silent. Instead of throwing a rant, the former "The X Factor" winner focused on those being supportive. "Sending everyone love and big bunny hugs! Thank u for all the support and love on here! Hope u enjoy #collide let the summer fun begin! xxx," she wrote.
