It was only right that Jay-Z would bring out a surprise guest during his set at the first annual Made In America festival in Philadelphia last night. As curator of the two-day event, Jigga selected a fantastic first day of shows, with performances by an eclectic group of artists including Maybach Music Group (Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill, and Rockie Fresh), as well as Calvin Harris, Passion Pit, D’Angelo, Janelle Monae, Jay Electronica, and Skrillex. However, there was no doubt as to who put on the best show. By the end of the night, Hova had virtually the whole G.O.O.D. Music crew onstage with him to perform some of their own hits, with the crowd going wild. Kanye West, Big Sean, Common, Pusha T, and 2 Chainz all came out to show Jay some love, while wifey, Beyonce showed her support from the sidelines. For some footage of the G.O.O.D. Music set and the other performances, courtesy of Yardie, hit the jump! Stay tuned for a re-cap of today’s Made In America events.

Well Chief Keef is all about keeping it “3-Hunna” but I guess Plies didn’t want to take it that far, so he keeps it “Hunna” in his brand new track. It’s been awhile since we heard from Plies and that might be a good thing to some people but for those of you who enjoy Plies, this new track is for you.

Last week’s chart-topper 2 Chainz falls to the No. 2 position this week after moving approximately 195,000 in the last two weeks. But taking the No. 1 spot for the first time in his career was Trey Songz with his fifth studio album which sold roughly 135,000 copies in its first week. Although this marks his best chart position on Billboard to date, it wasn’t enough to top the sales of his previous album Passion, Pain & Pleasure, which moved 240,000 units. Check out a special letter Trigga wrote for his fans after the jump.
