R. Kelly Releasing 11th Album Write Me Back June 26
May 16th
R. Kelly was forced to take a musical hiatus for emergency throat surgery in 2011, but Kells is coming back full-force this year. In addition to rolling out 32 additional chapters of his “Trapped in the Closet” series later this year, he’s releasing his 11th album Write Me Back on June 26.
“Share My Love,” the lead single from Write Me Back, was released in February and has already made waves on radio. The latest cut, “Feelin’ Single” will be available digitally on May 29. The new LP is a follow-up to R. Kelly’s 2010 release Love Letter, which was an ode to music from the ’50s and ’60s.
Back in December, Kells shocked fans when he announced that he would be adding 32 chapters to his popular ”Trapped in the Closet” series, and in March it was confirmed that the series would be aired on IFC later this year. Twenty-two chapters exist thus far in the soap opera series that begins with a one-night stand and weaves into an extended tale of sex and lies, starring Kelly’s alter ego, Sylvester.
“When I first began experiencing the unknown journey of writing ‘Trapped in the Closet,’ I knew after the first chapter that I had tapped into something that was not of this earth,” R. Kelly said in a statement at the time of the IFC announcement. “Being the nosy person that I am, I more than anyone wanted to know what the second chapter would be. And now here we are at chapter 23, trapped in the million dollar question — what the hell is the package? Well, ladies and gentlemen, not only am I ready to reveal what the package is, but I have many more chapters to share.”
It’s set to be a pretty eventful year for the Pied Piper. In February, he was one of the entertainers at Whitney Houston’s funeral, performing a moving rendition of the late singer’s hit “I Look to You,” which he also wrote.

DMX Gets Back To The Music On His Weigh In EP
May 16th
By Rob Markman
DMX dropped his free EP The Weigh In on Tuesday, making it the first time in six years that X has released an album. The Yonkers vet tells MTV News that he’s happy to get focused on the music again.
“It’s a good thing. I wish it was always like that but you can’t really worry about what people think, what they say. I just gotta do me,” DMX told MTV News over the phone on Tuesday. “The focus is on taking the music seriously, as a job, and less trouble.”
When DMX first emerged in 1998, he took the rap game by storm with a pair of groundbreaking and multi-platinum albums, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. Through the years, however, X has been making headlines for his mounting legal trouble and jail stints. It’s actually an issue he addresses on “Last Hope,” one of the EP’s stand-out tracks. “Damn I’m goin’ through it again/ After tellin’ everybody I wouldn’t do it again,” he spits with his unmistakable gruff.
Just as its title suggests, The Weigh In is merely a set-up for the main event. X will drop his new studio album, Undisputed, this fall. “Everywhere I go people are like, ‘When’s the album droppin? When’s the album droppin’?’ So I was just like, lemme hit ‘em with something, let them know, give them a little appetizer of what it’s gonna be like,” he said of The Weigh In. “Not the same songs, because I’m sitting on like three albums right now, but ya know, just what it’s gonna be like.”
As if X wasn’t enough incentive for fans to download, the Dog also called in a few favors from Snoop Dogg and Tyrese, who both appear on the EP. “It was incredible. I just happened to call Snoop, while I was in the studio, he answered the phone, I sent him the joint, the next day I had it back,” he recalled. “I appreciate the fact that the love is still there. I look forward to working with more artists. I normally don’t work with too many artists, but these have always been friends of mines.”

Star Wars – “The Empire Strikes Back” Retrospective | Behind The Scenes Look
May 14th
Not that we’re taking a definitive stand on the matter, but we could argue — like the majority of well-informed fans before us have — that The Empire Strikes Back is the best film in the Star Wars canon. There’s the super-dark tone, the introduction of Yoda, the expert direction by Irvin Kershner and one of the best plot twists in cinematic history. Lucasfilm – ahead of the Star Wars Celebration convention in Orlando in August — has released a spate of behind the scenes images from arguably the best loved chapter in George Lucas’ opus. And while the pressure was on the filmmaker to repeat the success of the first Star Wars film (now appended with the subtitle Episode IV: A New Hope), the following captivating images — some taken from the book The Making of the Empire Strikes Back by J.W. Rinzler — show the cast in a light mood as production began in 1979. (And yes, we realize the last photo is taken from The Return of the Jedi – we’d recognize that gold bikini anywhere.) via: Daily Mail
