Earlier this week, we discovered that J.Cole was soon to reveal Forest Hills Drive: Homecoming Special. The colorful documentary is set to walk us through the highly publicized tour, with a central focus on Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Premiering January 9th at 10pm EST, we expect the lyricist to add life to this adventure and of course share words of inspiration along the way. In fact, the teaser validates exactly that, with reflective thoughts bringing light to the entire picture.

“My dream for Fayetteville is that people here can wake up and realize that anything you want is possible if you want it.”

“Yo, appreciate the moment, even if it’s just this five seconds on stage. Just feel this moment really.”

Hit play on the sneak peek above.

It looks like the BET Awards was utilized as a springboard to release new material for a couple of artists this year. Among Big Sean and Meek Mill, another artist that can be added onto that list is international artist Rihanna. Previewing a minute of her upcoming video for “Bitch Better Have My Money,” which drops Thursday 7/2, Riri made sure the focus was on her leading up to the teaser even from the comfort of her front-row chair.

Check out the teaser for Rihanna’s new video, “BBHMM” below:

Christmas has come early with the second official teaser to JJ Abrams’ “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” If you’re a Star Wars fan like I am (no, I don’t dress up opening weekend) which I’m sure the majority of human beings are, Episode VII is a seminal moment for fans of the force. The trailer depicts elements from it’s predecessor, “Return Of The Jedi,” with clips of a crashed Star Destroyer, mangled Darth Vader mask, and a quick shot of Han Solo (yes, Harrison Ford is signed on) telling Chewbacca “We’re Home.” The trailer(s) have offered little insight to the actual plot-line, but spoilers it has revealed are a mix of new and old characters, incredible CGI, an updated and seemingly stronger band of Storm Trooper alliance, picturesque visuals of the Star Wars planets, and a sequential tie-in to the storylines of the previous six episodes. The movie is scheduled for a December 18th premier. Hope to see you in line. (With or without a costume)
