It’s no doubt that Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs is having the best week ever!  The man has been on a roll this week closing out the month of March with much madness.  He has already announced that he’ll be opening up a charter school in his native neighborhood of Harlem New York.  He later announced that he and the entire Bad Boy Records roaster will do a one night only reunion concert in Brooklyn honoring The Notorious B.I.G.‘s 44th birthday.  And now he drops a new music video!

Puff Daddy unleashed the visual for the fan favorite track off the MMM album he dropped last year on his 46th birthday.  The hip-hop hit-maker teamed up with musician, Ty Dolla $ign, for the track, along with rapper, Gizzle.  The music video’s comic relief intro is the Happily Ever After interlude from MMM, right before Puff Daddy recreates B.I.G.’s debut music video “Juicy.”  In true Diddy fashion he and the crew have an epic house party full of gorgeous women surrounding them.  If you look closely you’ll see Puff sporting the same Bad Boy jersey B.I.G. wore poolside in his “Juicy” video.

Watch where “You Could Be My Lover” and “Juicy” meet.

Bad Boy come out and play…

Since Diddy and his crew took the stage at the 2015 BET Awards to celebrate Bad Boy Records 20th anniversary, fans have sat hoping and praying for a Bad Boy Reunion tour to happen. Whispers from artist camp said it was in the works but nothing has come to fruition until now.  Well…there’s still no tour, but we’re about to get a taste of what we can expect from said tour.

Diddy announced that he and the gang will perform a One Night Only concert at the Brooklyn Barclays Center on May 20th to honor The Notorious B.I.G.‘s 44th birthday.

“This isn’t just another concert, this is hip-hop history,” Diddy told REVOLT. “The Bad Boy Family includes some of the biggest names in music and songs that helped define a whole generation of music. Also, we are celebrating one of the greatest of all time, Notorious B.I.G. This will be a night to remember. I can’t wait to see you all there.”

The concert is scheduled to have epic performances from Faith Evans, Ma$e, Lil Kim, The Lox, Mario Winas, 112, Total, and French Montana.  Also, Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige are scheduled special guests to perform.

Tickets for B.I.G’s One Night Only bash go on sale Saturday April 2nd at 11am.

If Danny Brown is trying to break into the Karaoke business, then the the visuals for his new song “Jealousy” are a pretty good start. The music video as a whole looks like GloboDigitalVid put Tumblr and Pen and Pixel in a blender, poured it in a cup from the 1990’s and sprinkled some low-fi VHS optics on top.

Yet, even with such an awesome music video, the song “Jealousy” is not overpowered by its graphics. Danny’s clever lyrics matched with The Purist‘s haunting synthesizers and samples form the Notorious BIG will make this track stand out on The Purist’s new mixtape TR-ILL (we see what you did there). The mixtape is compilation of the British artists’s multiplexed beats with features from rappers like Big Twins, Havoc,  and Sean Price. But for now, if you are into eerie, blaxplotation-infused soundscapes or Danny Browns freaky flow, then “Jealousy” is definitely the track for you.
