Due May 5, X is set to include collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Brandy, Kelly Rowland, and Lil Wayne.

The streets keep calling Chris Brown. The R&B singer kicks it with Compton rapper The Menace (formally Compton Menace) on the latter’s new single, “Put On My N*ggas.” Over the LongLivePrince production, Breezy spits a gritty verse and lays down a smooth hook.

“They wanna know what I’m doing and why I’m so addicted to the street life / And my mama said a ni**a ain’t livin’ right,” he sings.

The song is from Menace’s upcoming album R.O.M.E featuring The Game, Problem, Gudda Gudda, and more.

In addition to Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown’s upcoming album X is set to feature a collaboration with Ariana Grande.

The R&B superstar took to his new Instagram account to share a photo of the singers rehearsing for the music video. A shirtless Breezy stared into Ariana’s eyes while performing some intimate dance moves.

Ariana wore ballet shoes as she wrapped her arm around Chris’ neck.

“First time back up en pointe in years,” said the former ballet dancer. “I missed it so much but my toes certainly didn’t #blisters #bloodytoez.”

While the song title is currently unknown, they did share some of the lyrics: “Dug a single seed into the ground, I hope it grows / In a year or two if you’re around, you’ll see a rose.”

Breezy’s album X is due May 5, while the song will debut in March.

Earlier this month, Chris shot a video for his banger “Loyal” featuring Lil Wayne, French Montana, and Too $hort at Universal CityWalk.

He will appear in court today to face a judge for a progress update. “Court tomorrow. Prayers and Positivity. Thank you so much GOD and team breezy for everything you do,” he tweeted.

Chris Brown will be extending his residency at a Malibu treatment facility. The R&B superstar has been sent back to rehab for two more months.

Brown appeared in an L.A. courtroom on Friday for a progress report update in the Rihanna assault case. Los Angeles County Judge James Brandlin ordered him to remain in the anger management and drug rehab program he entered three months ago, reports CNN.

Brown’s probation officer said that the 24-year-old singer “continues to make great improvement” in dealing with anger, stress, and drugs. However, the judge decided that he can’t go free yet and must first be tried on his assault charge in Washington, D.C.

After the April 23 hearing, the judge will decide whether Brown should go to jail for violating his probation in the Rihanna assault case.

Brown, who was joined in court by his mother, appeared disappointed by the decision. He closed his eyes and seemed to meditate while his lawyer, Mark Geragos, met with the judge and prosecutor.

According to court documents (via TMZ), Brown’s anger issues were triggered by bipolar disorder, severe insomnia, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

“Never really goes the way u plan. #LIFE,” tweeted Brown following his court appearance.

He is scheduled to remain in rehab until April 23. It’s unclear how this will impact his album X, which is slated for a May 5 release.

Kid Ink rides out on the remix to his DJ Mustard-produced single “Show Me” with 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Trey Songz, and Chris Brown. The song, which appears on his No. 1 album My Own Lane, premiered moments ago on Power 106.

The L.A. spitter puts on for the West Coast, Trey and Juicy get freaky on their verses, and 2 Chainz delivers some laughable lines (“Just bought a car, that bitch came with Grey Poupon”).

On April 1, Kid Ink will hit the road for his 21-date “My Own Lane” tour with King Los and Bizzy Crook.

Take a listen and see tour dates below.

The wait is over. After several delays, Chris Brown has announced a release date for his long-awaited sixth album X.

The follow-up to 2012′s Fortune will arrive on May 5, which coincides with Brown’s 25th birthday.

“X is by far my best album yet…. Setting the date for MAY 5,” tweeted Breezy.

The album has spawned the singles “Fine China,” the Aaliyah-assisted “Don’t Think They Know,” “Love More” with Nicki Minaj, and “Loyal” featuring Lil Wayne, French Montana, and Too $hort.

He has also collaborated with Kendrick Lamar (“Autumn Leaves”), Brandy, Kelly Rowland, Wiz Khalifa, and B.o.B., as well as producers Timbaland, Diplo, Polow Da Don, Danja, Pharrell, and Drumma Boy.

“I tried to stay away from the Euro beats, and not go totally pop,” he told Rolling Stone last year. “Instead, I wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach. The record pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes. I wanted to put that classic essence of R&B and soul with the new age of music now.”

In addition to X, Chris and Tyga are working on their collaborative album Fan of a Fan 2, which is also expected to drop this summer.
