A collaboration between Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, and Jessie J? Yes please! Dubbed "Bang Bang", Republic Records announced this morning that the three superstars would be releasing the "powerhouse anthem" on July 29th. The single will be featured on Grande's upcoming album, "My Everything" (out August 25th), and Jessie J's album due out this fall.
What do you think? Will "Bang Bang" be the song of the summer?

"CoverGirl" Becky G just premiered the music video for her single, "Shower". The video is exactly what you might expect, with Becky, well, singing in the shower. See it in full below:
Wednesday night, Avicii brought his 2014 “#TRUETOUR” to the TD Garden in Boston, and oh was it a party. Over 10,000 teenagers turned out, which unfortunately was the biggest problem of the night.
Music and set-wise, the show was amazing. Not only did the 24 year-old Swedish DJ create seamless mixes between the hottest tracks in the EDM world, but also the stage effects were phenomenal. Each song was accompanied by either smoke, fire, or confetti, which just seemed to increase the crowd's volume.
However, where things took a turn for the worse was with the audience.While it may seem normal to turn up and have a good time while at a concert, these teens seemed a little too “turnt”. While at the show, I witnessed almost ten young concertgoers (likely 15 or 16 years old) being taken to the hospital, perhaps from a drug or alcohol overdose. In fact, it took seven paramedics to restrain this one girl on a stretcher.
At night’s end, over 36 were taken to local hospitals, while over 50 were treated on-site. It’s a shame, because Avicii had a great show for everyone, but seemed to be overshadowed by the "turnt up" teens.

To our readers,
On June 25th, 2013, I set out to create a small music-news blog with the simple goal of “no-gossip” reporting. The past year has been an amazing journey for Roman’s Rap-Up. What started as a small, local blog, has grown into an internationally known music news hub. Not only have we reported the latest and most up-to-date news from the music industry, but also we’ve brought you exclusive interviews with the biggest names in the industry, like Pusha T, Hunter Hayes, Jennifer Lopez, and more. Along the way, we’ve also conducted exciting giveaways as well.
In the coming months, we look forward to giving you even more coverage and photos from the hottest events, along with even bigger and better giveaways.
On behalf of everyone here Roman’s Rap-Up, I thank you for your continuing support. I can’t wait for you to see what’s in store!
