Lil Wayne And Madonna Release 'Revolver'
Just get used to hearing 'Revolver' on the radio right now.
Uh-oh, let’s start up the Madonna – Lil’ Wayne sex rumors all over again. Weezy and Madonna bring forth a collaboration of royal proportions with Wayne’s track “Revolver,” set for official release on June 30th this year. Interestingly enough, this is one week after Wayne is releasing his new rock/rap album Rebirth. That being said, it appears that the track will not be included in the rapper’s new album, unless it will be receiving its umpteenth pushback.
With all that information aside - the song itself is incredibly poptastic in nature, which is expected with Madonna and her back-up singers on the track. Expect this song to be played and over-played again and again until your ears bleed on radio stations across the US. That is when stations get their hands on the song, of course.
Not the first time her Majesty has collaborated with a rapper, and probably not the last. She has done tracks with Pharrel, Kanye West and 2Pac (among others). I’m sure this song will pop to top of the charts once it drops.
Personally, I am not a fan of the song, but hearing Madonna sing, “You’re an accessory to murder cuz,” sounds a bit comical to me. Have a listen and let me know what you think.

Nice to Meet You: Broadmoore
Louisiana spice meets vintage 90s alternative - that’s Broadmoore in a nutshell.
Broadmoore started in Lafayette, Louisiana back in 2004, and has since risen the ranks of southern bands. The band planned and executed an east-coast tour in 2006 all the way to New York before recording and releasing their first album A Tank Named Desire. Their DIY ethics combined with their spirit for ethereal aggressive music gained the band a decent following...
