The Week OnSMASH [1.12.13]

It may only be our second issue of the year, but it’s safe to say that if every week was like the last, we would have every right to be looking forward to what the further 12 months will bring us.

However, there were two accomplished artists who stole the limelight. After releasing no information or content since 2006, Justin Timberlake announced his return to the music scene; something almost everyone has been waiting anxiously for. The other major artist making the headlines was Beyoncé. Linking with the news that Timberlake’s single will feature herself and Jay-Z, we saw her cover the latest issue of GQ, which was arguably the most popular image of the past seven days. As well as this, her beloved Destiny’s Child announced a compilation album coinciding with the release of a Pharrell-produced single, along with plans for the rest to join Bey for her Super Bowl performance.

In other news, we heard brand new music from the likes of Juicy J, Rockie Fresh, Pusha T, Rick Ross, Big Boi, Curren$y, Joey Bada$$ and Future. The comeback to music from The Diplomats’ duo Cam’ron and Juelz Santana looks to be in full effect, as we saw them both release singles as we lead up to their forthcoming projects. In terms of new mixtapes, releases were a little slow, but the amount of singles provided was more than enough to keep you going.

Check out everything you may have missed with The Week OnSMASH.
