Future is taking it back to the streets with his next single. Following his Miley Cyrus collaboration “Real and True,” the Freebandz rapper calls on Pharrell, Pusha T, and Casino for “Move That Dope.” Prior to the song’s release on Friday, he took to Instagram to reveal the cover art.

“They say it’s dropping Feb 7th but who knows…It’s fiiiiiiiiiiiiiire tho!!” tweeted Pusha T.

Future’s sophomore album Honest is also set to feature appearances from Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West.

“It’s a real dope album and it should be eventful when it comes out,” said Mike WiLL Made It, who serves as executive producer.

Future plans to announce a release date and unveil the cover art sometime this week.

With four days to go until the song premieres, Shakira has revealed the sexy cover art for her collaboration with Rihanna, “Can’t Remember to Forget You.” The Barbados beauty lies down in front of the Colombian bombshell, whose rests her hand on RiRi’s shoulder.

“Only FOUR days until ‘Can’t Remember To Forget You’ with @rihanna !! Here’s the single artwork…. #soexcited,” tweeted Shakira.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, Shakira spoke about working with Rihanna. “We’ve been keeping it under secret [the collaboration], but we just shot the video. I never thought we could come together—with me on ‘The Voice’; taking care of my baby, Milan; Rihanna touring,” she said.

“But working with her was utopia. She’s the cutest woman on the planet. And at the end of the day, we’re both basically Caribbean girls. The chemistry was so good. She taught me dance moves. She was a sweet teacher.”

The song, which premieres January 13, is the first single from Shakira’s upcoming album, due in early 2014 on RCA/Sony Latin Iberia.

Miley Cyrus is taking some time to smell the roses. Following the Mike WiLL Made It-produced “We Can’t Stop” and No. 1 hit “Wrecking Ball,” the pop singer slows things down with “Adore You,” the third single off her chart-topping album Bangerz. She revealed the artwork, which shows her face next to a bouquet of roses.

The ballad, written and produced by Stacy Barthe and Oren Yoel, will impact Top 40 radio on January 6, 2014.

Miley will celebrate the new year with a performance in Times Square on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” and kick off her “Bangerz Tour” on Valentine’s Day in Vancouver.
