Main Pick
Headliner: 360

Representing: Queens, New York

Mixtape: Beginning of Forever

Real Spit: Not everyone gets a chance to see their dreams pan out. Queens, New York rapper 360 took a leap of faith last year when dropped his Everywhere and Back for free. Today, 6-0 is a full-time rapper and after he drops his new project Beginning of Forever on Tuesday, he doesn't plan on ever looking back.

"When I wrote the first song 'Vision,' I started writing from a whole different perspective as from my last project Everywhere and Back," 360 told Mixtape Daily of his upcoming BOF. "When I came off that I'm writing for the purposes of, just coming into music period; now I'm writing from a perspective of competing with other rappers."

Not all rappers are 60's competition however, he has made some well-known friends along the way. Freddie Gibbs and Jadakiss lend a hand on 360's "Own Thing" remix, while Waka Flocka jumps on the aspirational "Vanity."

"I want it all, I want everything in this life," 60 sings on the hook.

There are a number of street-centered records like the chest-pounding "Realest in America," but on "Gotta Get It" 360 links with Wyclef Jean and shows his versatility on a song that proves he's thinking bigger than the block. "So when you first come into the game they try to label you/ Pave my own lane, 'cause that's what hard labor do," he spits before 'Clef sings a motivational chorus.

Chances are 360's dreams don't stop at releasing online albums free of charge, but if he's truly focused on forever, then ...

Just before lands in theaters this Friday, MTV is giving fans an early look with an exclusive clip this Thursday.

It all starts at 7:56 p.m. ET, when the clip premieres on air and online. Directly afterward, MTV News' Josh Horowitz will sit down with actors Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Michael Shannon, as well as director Zack Snyder for an in-depth, extended interview available exclusively at MTV.com.

The cast and director will then reveal behind-the-scenes information about the iconic hero's latest film adventure and answer fans' questions. You can get in on the action by submitting your own questions on Twitter to @MTVNews, using the hashtag #MTVFirst and #AskSuperman.

is on track to see its box-office totals soar, as the film's trailers hint that this could be the Superman film his loyal fans have waited decades to see. 2006's Bryan Singer-helmed "Superman Returns" failed to meet expectations, and the Kryptonian's previous two films, "Superman III" and "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace," have not aged well since their late '80s releases.

The new film reboots Superman back to his roots, last explored onscreen in 1978's "Superman." MTV News spoke to Dylan Sprayberry, the actor who brought teenage Clark Kent to life in the new film, and found out what it was like to portray an icon.

"I think a lot of the percentage of young boys when they are growing up want to be a superhero. I know I did. I would put a towel on my back, run around, and across my couch and try to practice flying ...

It looks like Emblem3 might just have what it takes to be the next big pop stars.

On Friday, the former "X Factor" contestants performed their brand-new single, on "Good Morning America," and in less than a week, the music video for the single (the band's first clip) received more than a million views on YouTube. Pretty impressive for guys who were relative unknowns this time last year.

The video for "Chloe" shows off the trio's SoCal vibe but delivers a strong message. When they recently stopped by MTV News, they admitted that the clip brings the song to a whole new level.

"I loved the video — it made the song really cool," Wesley Stromberg said. "That whole day we were on cloud nine."

The group, composed of Wesley, his brother Keaton Stromberg, and Drew Chadwick, shot the video, which was directed by Ray Kelly, last month in Los Angeles. The clip focuses on a series of shy girls, outsiders to the popular crowd, who pass along buttons that say "I'm a Chloe."

The buttons encourage them to realize that inner beauty is what counts. The video ends with all the Chloes coming together for an Emblem3 show.

"When we were onstage with the whole crowd scene, that was cool because everyone was bumping and jumping and rocking out to the song," Wes said.

But as much fun as that was, the guys most enjoyed the scene in which they were able to let their inner rock stars out.

"My favorite scene is when we were trashing the dressing room," Wes said. ...

Like any true boss, Rick Ross is cunning and calculated, so when he announced his upcoming sixth studio album Mastermind with a cinematic trailer at the top of the year, every detail was deliberate.

The two-minute, 45-second clip is set to the soulful melody of Curtis Mayfield's 1972 classic "Give Me Your Love (Love Song)," giving fans a hint of the new album's sonic direction.

"That's most definitely the feel and that's why I made sure I wanted to open at the top of the new year," Rozay told MTV News on June 3, when he and his MMG team sat with us to discuss the release of their upcoming Self Made, Vol. 3 compilation. "I wanted to make that clear for the ones that paid attention that that's most definitely my vibe."

It's a sound that Ross began tinkering with on "Pots and Pans," a deep album cut from his first album, but one that he really began to become known for on his 2009 Deeper Than Rap LP with songs like "Magnificent" and "Valley of Death." With last year's God Forgives, I Don't, Rozay seemed to perfect his sound on "Amsterdam," with producer Cardiak delivering a rich and soulful 1970s-inspired beat to rhyme over.

Ross says we can expect that sound to make up at least some of his album, but he never knows where his creative bounds may lie. "I love making those kind of records, those 'Cigar Music' records, those 'Amsterdam' records, and that was most definitely the energy, but I record so much material — we ...
