50 Cent releases a lyrics video for his single “New Day” that features Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys.

Do you still need a print format? It's  right here for you.

[Intro]

It don’t take much strength to pull a trigger

But try to get up every morning day after day and work for a living

Let’s see ‘em try that

Then we’ll see who’s the real tough guy

The working man is a tough guy

[Hook: Alicia Keys]

Party people say, party people say

Ay it’s a new day, it’s a new day

World is getting ready, everybody ready, yeah!

For a new day, for a new day, celebrate and say

A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Aye

[Verse 1: Dr Dre]

I woke up this morning thinking ’bout the old me

When I was feeling like Miller Lite and Ol' E

But now I ride on some conscious shit

I’m getting bread while I toast to my accomplishments

Only one I could have a problem with is myself

That’s probably why my only competition is myself

From today to tomorrow

The Doc is just rocking the same drum

Fuck the past, though I ain’t forgot where I came from

I got the club rocking, uh

I got your girl jocking, uh

Me and Fif’ still in this bitch, bitch

We going the distance with you party people come’on

[Hook]

[Verse 2: 50 Cent]

Now, you can get your knees on the church floor, pray it get better

Or push the dough on the liquor store, see where it get ya

But me, I got to be on top

I said, me I get to be on top

I got the street on lock

I’m on automatic pilot, ain't nobody starting me

Growing up in poverty ain't fill my heart with larceny

Niggas ride, I don’t hide, I dump to get 'em off of me

I’m a leader, look and see the natural born boss of me

They from Bel Air, I’m from the bottom

Soon as I spot ‘em I get to drop ‘em

I got ‘em; the competition, red-dot 'em

It’s dinner time when the 9 come out

It’s off with the chain, off with the ring

Move --bang, off with ya brain

[Hook]

[Bridge: Alicia Keys]

Marks on the wall

It’s now or never at all

I’m gonna give it my all

Whether I rise or fall

[Verse 3: 50 Cent]

True story, I said I’d get rich or die trying

I did it, good luck sucker, trying to stop my shine

Nothing matters but the music, music my first love

We paper chasing -- I’m always coming in first, cuz

I’m built for it, see I’m better under pressure

I react like a maniac when I’m coming to get ya

I got to win, Em watch and Dre watch and my son watching

Fuck that, losing ain't an option

I’m sharp I’m on point

The ink from my ballpoint

Throwing out my pain

I’m back on my A-game

I’m focused, for me this is just another victory

Except that I’m stronger than an ox now mentally

[Hook]

Music: Will.i.am premiered his new single "Reach for the Stars" from Mars

Will.i.am has premiered his new single from Mars.

The NASA rover Curiosity beamed to Earth his new song "Reach for the Stars" on Tuesday in the first music broadcast from another planet, to the delight of students who gathered at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to listen.

The song had been uploaded to the rover, which landed near the equator of Mars, and played it back -- a journey of some 700 million miles.

The musician, who promotes science and mathematics education, was among more than a dozen celebrities who were invited to JPL to watch Curiosity's landing earlier this month. Others included Wil Wheaton, Seth Green and Morgan Freeman.

In 2008, NASA beamed the Beatles' "Across the Universe" into the cosmos to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the song.

Music: Ice Prince - Aboki & More

Chocolate City Music is pleased to announce the release of the highly anticipated singles from Ice Prince.

After a year of continued growth and success in his music career, Ice Prince gives his fans not one but two singles, titled Aboki and More.

Aboki which means friend in Hausa, and More were both written by Ice Prince, also known as Panshak Zamani and produced by the young talented producer Chopstix.



Celebrating some of the most successful individuals hailing from the Northern part of Nigeria, Aboki is a song that is guaranteed to get you on your feet.

More on the other hand is a beautiful love song which highlights the situations faced in relationships. Speaking briefly on his new singles, Ice Prince said:

“I’m absolutely excited about my new project; I feel it shows my fans a different side to me. My whole approach to the music, the delivery, my thought process is different from how it was last year.”
