The dance-heavy video was choreographed by Laurieann Gibson, with direction by Bille Woodruff and production by Jaala Ruffman.

After much controversy and hoopla, the long awaited shipping and uploading of Lil’ Kim’s brand new mixtape, Black Friday. It’s been quite some time since Kim has released anything musically and it’s not certain whether or not the promotion of this mixtape is any lead to a new album.
The mixtape contains what some artists are calling unofficial features and “remixes” from Keri Hilson, Rihanna, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross and more. Surprisingly, there’s also a track that features Nicki Minaj.
Check out the track “Power” from singer/songwriter Mateo. This is his take on Kanye’s popular song “Power” and is the first leak from his upcoming collaboration with Grammy Award winning producer Kerry “Krucial” Brothers (best known for his work with Alicia Keys).
Some of you may remember Mateo from our Artist Spotlight back in ’09 (VIEW IT HERE) and maybe even his version of Jay-Z’s and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind” (LISTEN HERE) that gained him somewhat of a following in 2010.
His latest project, the mixtape “Love & Stadiums” will be hitting the net soon. Be on the lookout for more info.
Here’s the new video for “Gone and Never Coming Back”, the first single from her upcoming second album, The MF Life, which is slated for release in July.
