Foo Fighters have talked about the new creation process of their recently released album ‘Wasting Lights’ on multiple occasions but until now, they had not revealed the reason why they decided that a change was due.

Rick Ross is called ‘the Bawse’ by his followers and he has fully justified that nickname with his latest decision.

Wayne Wants To Be Known As a Musician Rather Than a Rapper
Lil Wayne has produced tons of singles in his career so far, but he has never been excited as he is now for the freshly leaked ‘How to Love.’
