Nas, Wiz Khalifa, Missy Elliot & More Will ROCK THE BELLS+New Ish From T.I., Tamia & Po Johnson

May 16 | by Natasha

It's about that time. The ROCK THE BELLS North American concerts lineup just got released--and it's a doozie for the hip hop fans. Check it inside, plus new ish from T.I., Tamia & VH1's Po Johnson....

Nas will be headlining the North American concerts of Rock The Bells this summer. It goes down August 18th weekend in San Bernadino, CA, then August 25th weekend in Mountain View, and the East Coast wraps it up Sept. 1st weekend at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ.

Nas is bringing hip hop's popular kids of the moment with him--Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, SchoolBoy Q, 2 Chainz, Tyga & plenty more. And the vets are bringing it too--Method Man (YES) & Redman, Missy Elliot & Timbaland, Naughty By Nature, Salt-N-Pepa, Ice Cube, Slick Rick and plenty more. Lupe Fiasco tweeted he will NOT be there though, despite what's printed. Peep the full line up:

This is gonna be a hot one. And if you didn't know, Mr. Jones is also a co-founder and partner in Rock The Bells. Work.

In other rap news, T.I. stopped by the Angie Martinez show (pictured above with Angie, DJ Drama & DJ Enuff) last night at the Hot 97 studios. And he revealed his upcoming album, Trouble Man, will drop September 4th. And yes, there will be a second season of his and wife Tiny's VH1 reality show, "A Family Hustle."

In the meantime, check out Tip's new track of the album he dropped yesterday called "Like That":

You feelin it?

One of our fave YBF chicks Tamia released more behind the scenes footage from her upcoming video for her single "Beautiful Surprise" off the album of the same name:

The gorgeous mom of two made sure she had a cameo from her baller hubby Grant Hill. Cute!

And LaLa Anthony's bestie Po Johnson just released a trailer to her upcoming video "Do It Again" directed by Rasheed Daniel:

The VH1 reality sidekick is busting out her own album soon. And the full vid--shot at the Gun Bar in NYC--will be released May 31st.

@Furiuous Do you even listen

@Furiuous Do you even listen to people who can actually sing? I know how much you love Rih and all I like her too but there are actually female vocalist out there who can really sing. Like : Tamia, JoJo, Christina A, Pink, Melanie F,Mariah C, Faith E, Blu Cantrell, Kelly Price and many more that you really should know about. I know you are young but please broaden your musical taste to more than just Rih and Bey. In fact I listen to these 2 only when I need music to keep me going on the treadmill or eliptical. Do me a favor and go to Youtube and look Tamia up because she sounds better than Bey and Rih! I'm just stating facts here.

She knows who the hell she is...she's just hating on another female artist that has a better voice than her precious Rihanna. By the way, a fun fact - You know the reason Rihanna keeps patting her self in her dances? She's trying to get Furious to finally come out her snatch! LOL

Really Furious? You so much about everyone personal life and whos gay and whose not, but one of the best singers in R&B some how you dont know anything about. (eyes rolled) You know who she is because you have commented on her before. Pass that blunt you and Rihanna smoking this way

So you've never heard of

So you've never heard of Tamia? She's an established singer who has had a few hits played on adult R&B radio stations. She also happens to be married to NBA player, Grant Hill. Your questions implies shade; but since you've never heard of her, why can't you just give her video a look-see and find out? YBF has introduced artists before. She is a new artist TO YOU.

Wow TI has really fell off

Wow TI has really fell off since he had to go to jail and all. When will black people learn that going in and out of jail is counter productive you waste so much time and when you finally get out you look like a has been. He has lost his swagg and his looks. He looks old a beat up looking like the skinny one in Mobb D and now he chasing that white girl trying to put her out. You all know he is sleeping w/ her. I 'm not gay but she does have a nice body! What happened to you TI? You use to get offered movies and now you are on a corny reality show! SMH! Boy you fell hard.

Sad. I'm hoping he's just a little unfocused but will find his groove again. As far as that reality show, I don't see how he thought that would help his career. Only has-beens or never-was's get on that shit. Us much as I don't see Diamond from Crime Mobb's career going much further than it is now, at least she has the sense to know that Love & Hip Hop Atlanta wouldn't have been a good look for her career.

I love Tamia. She's talented. Funny story. They were married when Grant played for the Detroit Pistons. Rumors are she slighted a lot of his friends from a local barber shop. Apparently they weren't "thorough breed" enough to be invited to their nuptials. Grant got his hair cut in the 'Hood". LOL
