Photos: Future & Ty Dolla Sign Perform at the "Purple Reign Tour" in Boston

Arguably one of the most "in" rappers right now, Future brought his "Purple Reign Tour" to Boston Friday night with special guest Ty Dolla $ign. Last time in Boston a few years back, Future struggled to sell 1,000 tickets. Now with the success of DS2 and Evol, the Epic Records artist sold out the 2,000+ person House of Blues, never mind selling out every other date on the tour. Going through hit after hit with "F*ck Up Some Commas," "March Madness" and more, the "Purple Reign Tour" will go down as one of the most hype shows Boston has ever seen.

Fifth Harmony is Back with New Single "Work From Home"

/

Fifth Harmony's new music video with Ty Dolla $ign, "Work from Home," is filled with heat. The scene of the video is a construction site filled with construction worker studs and the girls in complimentary construction worker outfits. As they strut through the site and examine blueprints, the dump truck windows basically steam up from the booty popping and male macho counterparts. Ty Dolla $ign is also dressed for the part, adding some grit to the otherwise sensual song. It is a fun, sexy dance video that is a great song add to any party playlist.

J.R. Premieres Video for "No Flockin Remix"

Rapper J.R. just released his music video for "No Flockin Remix." The music video is focused on J.R. himself with club lighting enhancing the sound. The rap has a slow but tough beat and fits well with the dark vibe of the video. This music video is being released days before his EP "Gang Season" is being dropped; J.R. has contrasted this slower-speed video with his last music video release featuring lots of spray-painted St. Louis's backdrop. "Gang Season" should not disappoint - look out for J.R gaining ground in the hip-hop industry in the near future. 

Rihanna Gets Close to Drake in "Work" Video

Rihanna and Drake finally released their duo music videos for their song "Work." The link includes two separate music video versions of the hit single, both with one of the artists' particular vibe attached to it. The first video is Rihanna's style filled with a bumping club and a Caribbean vibe relative to her ethnic relationship with the cultural lifestyle. She and Drake have a steamy dancing scene against the wall as fellow dancers work it, twerking and grinding on the dance floor. The next video is evidently relative to Drake's style, as it reflects a similar neon-color theme to his music video for "Hotline Bling." The video only includes Rihanna and Drake, as Rihanna sings and dances, and Drake watches from the couch. The sexy vibe is still prevalent, but the overall theme of the music video fits the rapper, and the first video fits the Barbadian singer. The compliments of each music video to its relative artist creates a cool contrast while still focusing on the single. Ri and Drake - good work.

Aloe Blacc performing at the Official Grammy 2016 After party in los angeles (Gibson Dintersmith/Roman's Rap-Up).

After an eventful Grammy's, the official after-party at the Los Angeles Convention Center was no disappointment. Featuring performances from Aloe Blacc, Thelma Houston, Arturo O'Farrill, and DJ Michelle Pesce on the main stage, the spacious arena allowed thousands of Grammy attendees to socialize after the main event, right across the street. The after-party included all kinds of entertainment aside from the performing artists, including jugglers, an orchestra, and an assortment of food. The 3 hour after-party was definitely a success, and the headlining performer, Aloe Blacc, put on a very memorable show for all guests.
