New Song: Psy Featuring 2 Chainz And Tyga, 'Gangnam Style' Remix

Posted 3/5/13 4:30 pm EST by Michael Depland in Celebrity, Music

Psy teams up with 2 Chainz and Tyga for the official "Gangnam Style" Remix produced by Diplo..

Psy remixed "Gangnam Style," and you KNOW 2 Chainz wouldn't miss that for the world.

Have you ever heard of "Gangnam Style"? It's a song by Korean artist Psy. OK, so we're guessing you've maybe heard it, as it's literally THE MOST VIEWED YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ALL TIME. (Uh, yeah, it currently clocks in at 1 billion views.) So, if you're Psy, and you've created THE MOST viewed YouTube video of all time, how do you even begin to top it? Well, Psy's managed to wring a few last drops out of last summer's horsey dance craze with a brand-new "Gangnam Style" remix, PLUS a Remix Style EP! Good move! The only question now is, who to recruit for said remix? How about the dude who appeared on nearly 100 singles last year? The one and only 2 Chainz! Oh, and for good measure, let's invite "Rack City"'s Tyga as well. Now THIS is something we're ready for.

Listen to Psy featuring 2 Chainz and Tyga's "Gangnam Style" remix after the jump.

New Song: Usher, 'Go Missin''

Posted 2/15/13 11:57 am EST by Jenna Hally Rubenstein in Celebrity, Music

Usher teams with Diplo again on his brand-new song, "Go Missin'"

If it ain't broke (and everyone is OBSESSED WITH IT), then don't you dare fix it! We're of course referring to Usher and producer Diplo's outstandingly successful musical relationship: Last year, the duo's initial collab, "Climax," won Usher a Grammy for Best R&B Performance AND went on to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Now, exactly one year after revealing "Climax" on Valentine's Day 2012, the "chemistry"-filled duo is at it again, this time with a new track, "Go Missin'." (Also released on Valentine's Day -- those guys are such romantics!)

Listen to Usher's "Go Missin'" after the jump.
