19-year-old singer, actor and comedian Reed Shannon, has found a home in acting and singing. He got his first big moment playing young Michael Jackson in Broadway’s Motown The Musical in which he was handpicked by Berry Gordy to play the role because of vocal abilities.

From there, he’s appeared on many TV shows on Nickelodeon, ABC and movies (Canal Street Movie), and most recently was hired as the voice of The Cartoon Network. He’s been a featured comedian at some of the top comedy clubs around the country. His first love is music, and he’s ready to dominate. He’s teamed up with Grammy Award Winning Record Executive Amir Windom (Bruno Mars, Pharrell, Trey Songz) to take his music to a higher level. He’s currently signed to Abrams Agency for film and TV.

Reed Shannon is currently the voice of The Cartoon Network. He does all on air promotions for The Cartoon Network, and some of his music from this project will be featured on the shows. He will star in the upcoming movie Chasing The Sun and will have song(s) on the soundtrack (from this project and new original music). He’s currently on 2 Nickelodeon shows and his music will be used in some of the episodes.

They struck gold before, so it only makes sense to create new magic. Following “Finesse (Remix),” Bruno Mars and Cardi B join forces once again on the track “Please Me,” a retro-and-B vibe I’ve come to expect from these two together…expect this cut to make a lot of appearances on your favorite radio station (and television, whenever the sure-to-come visual is released).

Check out “Please Me” below and expect for from these two (like a tour) in the future. Add in the chart-topping “Money,” you can also expect that Cardi B sophomore album to make landfall sooner than later.

UPDATE: This is far too amazing. Check out the funky new visual for Gucci Mane, Bruno Mars and Kodak Black’s latest collab above.

Gucci Mane might have the biggest hit of his career on his hands right now: the Atlanta veteran connected with Bruno Mars and Kodak Black on the new single “Wake Up In The Sky,” which can be streamed above. This track will presumably appear on his forthcoming album Evil Genius.

Sidebar: this might be the longest period between albums/project that Guwop has had in the last decade.

It gets even better: he also produced a visual of his new collaboration which perfects the nostalgic cut by throwing up right into the set of In Living Color, down to the interspersed painting scenes and wardrobe. Had one of the Wayans or other core members popped up, I might’ve shed a tear or two looking at this greatness.

Enjoy the new clip above (single out now as well) and expect Cardi to continue her ascent in 2018 (complete with debut album, we hope).

Bruno Mars is back with some more new magic smoothing things down with his song “Versace on the Floor.”

Fresh off dropping his top-5 hit “24k Magic,” the singer/songwriter dims the lights on his new slower track showing off his vocals for “Versace on the Floor.” With a 80’s and 90’s sound, Bruno sings about making love.

“So just turn down the lights and close the door / Ooh I love that dress but you won’t need it anymore (no you won’t need it no more) / Let’s just kiss till we’re naked… Versace on the floor,” he sings.

Preparing for his third solo album ‘24k Magic,’ he is already creating high anticipation with his lead single and performing on SNL last month.

Light some candles and listen to “Versace on the Floor” below and make sure to get ‘24k Magic‘ on November 18.
