Kanye West And The Kardashians Doing Family Feud

(Radio.com) Kanye West is a fast rapper and a fast talker. Now, fans will get to see how fast Yeezy can answer questions about other people's habits and preferences when he faces the big board on Family Feud.

The West and Kardashian families were recently tapped for a bonanza episode of Celebrity Family Feud. Celebutante Kim Kardashian leaked the news on her Snapchat, posting snippets of West and the Kardashian/Jenner crew on the game show set.

"I've waited my whole life for this moment," enthuses Kanye in one clip. Judging from the shots, it looks like Team West will include Kim (his wife), who was excluded from a Kardashian team huddle, reports The Fader.

Drake's Journal From His 'Degrassi' Days Up For Sale

(Radio.com) Sixteen years ago, Aubrey Drake Graham was an actor on a Canadian teen soap, but he had dreams of being a rapper. Today he's rap's biggest commercial force with streaming records, hit albums and $1 million in cash to give to strangers.

If you wonder how Drake made the jump from point A to point B (or in his parlance, from the bottom to here) a notebook purported to be Drake's Degrassi diary is available for purchase for a cool $54,000. The memorabilia site Moments in Time reportedly discovered the document in a furniture factory once owned by Drake's grandfather.

The journal includes lyrics like the "10 Mack Commandments," a riff on The Notorious B.I.G.'s "10 Crack Commandments": "Show up for your date kinda late/ If she say be there 6/ then be there 8."

"To my knowledge, there haven't been any lyrics from Drake on sale," Moments in Time's Gary Zimet told Radio.com. "The fact that there's so many of them in the notebook, it's such a rare find." Read more here.

Lana Del Rey In The Studio With Jack Antonoff

(Radio.com) Jack Antonoff has produced hits for some of pop's biggest female stars. At the 2018 GRAMMY Awards, he earned nods for his collaborations with Lorde (Melodrama) and Taylor Swift ("I Don't Wanna Live Forever"). He's also worked with P!nk, Sara Bareilles, St. Vincent and more artists with pop appeal and unique musical points-of-view. If Lana Del Rey's Instagram story is any indication, she may be next on Jack's list of collaborators.

Lana live streamed a video of her inside a recording studio with Antonoff. As she filmed, Antonoff reclined on a cushy leather couch and faint music played in the background.

In addition to the Instagram live update, a Lana fan on Twitter stumbled upon a selfie Lana shared with Antonoff and Marina Diamandis (of Marina and the Diamonds) over the weekend.

Lana's last album Lust For Life dropped last year and featured A-list collaborators, including The Weeknd and Stevie Nicks. The prolific singer-songwriter may be assembling another dream team for her yet-untitled sixth studio album. Watch a fan capture of Lana's hangout with Jack Antonoff here.

Lil Yachty Streams New Song 'Most Wanted,' Previews 'Interested'

(Radio.com) Almost a week after Lil Yachty announced the release of his sophomore album, Lil Boat 2, the rapper shared two new tracks. Over the weekend, he dropped "Most Wanted" and a minute-long snippet from a second track titled "Interested."

"Most Wanted," produced by EarlThePearll, features syncopated beats, galactic keyboards and lyrics about fame: "Hip hop's most wanted/ I'm in a ghost, haunted/ Took a break, now I'm back 'cause that's what they wanted."

Yachty first teased the song on Twitter and let fans know the song won't be on his upcoming album. "Interested," which will be included on Lil Boat 2, features creative beats and Auto-Tune vocals.

Meghan Trainor Talks Setbacks That Led To 'No Excuses'

(Radio.com) Meghan Trainor has a big year ahead of her. She's got a wedding to plan, a new hit TV show and her third studio album on the way. Over the weekend, Trainor teased her next single, "No Excuses," from that yet-untitled record.

It's been two years since Trainor released Thank You, and, in a new Instagram post, she promised the world that her best music is yet to come. In a handwritten note, Meghan took fans back to the period shortly after her GRAMMY win for Best New Artist. What transpired was a period of physical, creative and emotional renewal.

"After winning a GRAMMY, releasing my second album and going on my third tour, I thought I'd be on top of the world -- but I was wrong, it was exactly the opposite," she wrote. "I endured a severe vocal chord hemorrhage and was forced to have surgery and to cancel all of my remaining concerts and commitments at the end of 2016�It was the darkest place I've ever experienced, and I was unsure if I'd ever come out of it�but I DID!"

Despite the setbacks and challenges, Meghan managed to find love and refocus her musical efforts on her new album. The lead single "No Excuses" drops Thursday morning and she explained to her followers what that title means.

'There are NO EXCUSES, I'm gonna choose happiness..and I can't wait to show you what I've learned/created for this third album. It's my best work yet," she wrote. See Meghan's teasers here.

Kendrick Lamar Wants To Be Villain in 'Black Panther' Sequel

(Radio.com) For the sequel to Black Panther, Kendrick Lamar says that he would like to play a major role, and he doesn't really want to be remembered as one of the good guys.

"I really enjoy [Erik] Killmonger's character, just off the simple fact that he was a villain but he came with some real [talk]," Lamar told the BBC. "He was a villain, but he was loved and misunderstood. So if I could, I'd play a Killmonger for sure."

Lamar curated and contributed to the soundtrack for the current film, which also features SZA, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, and SOB x RBE. Read more here.

'The Voice' Goes Behind The Scenes With New Coach Kelly Clarkson

(Radio.com) Kelly Clarkson made her big debut as a coach on the 14th season of NBC's The Voice on Monday (Feb. 26). Ahead of the broadcast, The show has shared an engaging new behind-the-scenes video featuring Clarkson's first day on the job as she gears up for the new season.

In the clip, Clarkson shows love for her fellow judges, starting with Blake Shelton. Shelton makes the mistake of calling Clarkson out as a newbie on The Voice, with the "Since U Been Gone" singer reminding him that she mentored his team all the way back on the show's second season (much to the delight of Adam Levine and Alicia Keys).

It's clear that Clarkson and Shelton will be the source of some serious fireworks this season, with the clip capturing the two playfully bickering on set.

"We're close enough to where I can really mess with him," Clarkson says. She goes on to share that she's toured with Levine in the past, and even dishes that if she was into into women, her woman of choice would be Alicia Keys, calling her "walking zen." Watch it here.
