Tamara Saul has been making steady moves within the European R&B circuit since the release of her Neon Nights EP. Its title track was featured on BBC Radio 1 on #R1Review and serves as an indicator of what this up-and-coming songstress from Zagreb, Croatia has in store for us. Take her latest creation "Biggie Say My Name (Girls Love Beyonce Bootleg)" for instance, where Tamara interprets Drake and James Fauntleroy's single while also serenading the legacy of the late and great The Notorious B.I.G. And while you're at it, also have a listen to Ta-Ku's version of the song as well.

Remember Lil Wayne's plan to release Devol -- an album that only consists of love songs? Well, it appears that this project is finally coming to fruition. In a conversation with MTV's Sway Calloway, he said:

“I do still plan on dropping that. I’m very excited about that album. I know ya’ll probably like, ‘I don’t want to hear no love songs according to [Wayne].’ But I’m talented. [Birdman] let me do whatever I want to do, so I’m putting that album out, ya dig.”

Moreover, Tunechi also confirmed another Big Tymers album. However, don't expect Mannie Fresh, but rather Birdman teaming up with Drake and Wayne for this one. A sequel to Baby and Weezy’s 2006 sequel album Like Father, Like Son is also in the works. And we know, Mannie is busy in the studio with Yasiin Bey.

While down in Miami, Florida over the weekend, MTV had the opportunity to catch up with Young Money's Lil Wayne. Here we note Weezy speaking on what is rumored to be his final album, The Carter V. Fortunately, however, it isn't expected to arrive any time soon, as Wayne and company have several album possibilities in the works, one of which being a Big Tymers reunion, welcoming along YMCMB golden child, Drake. Will this actually come to fruition? Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain, that would be pretty crazy. Stay tuned for more.

Drake recently dropped off his James Fauntleroy-assisted ode to BaddieBey with his "Girls Love Beyoncé" single, and now 20-year-old producer JAYBeatz has taken it upon himself to mashup Beyoncé's vocals onto the new tune. Replacing Fauntleroy's chorus, which stems from Destiny's Child's "Say My Name," the North Carolina-based beatmaker provides a solid recreation, giving listeners a better idea of what the track would have sounded like had Drizzy got Mrs. Knowles on the original. Stream and/or download the song below and let know how you feel about this one.
