November 22, 2012 Rihanna's 7th studio album was released on Monday and it's already predicted to debut at NUMBER ONE on the Billboard charts next week!
Since most artists wait until the actual holiday season starts to drop more music, this week's HHH is a little light -- but not all is lost. Here are some of the biggest stories from the past week in hip-hop, but be sure to keep an eye out for next week's Hip-Hop Headlines, because all of the music that's pending will definitely make that food coma worth while.
November 19, 2012 Just in time for the release of her 7th studio album "Unapologetic", Rihanna drops the visuals for Diamonds! Check it out inside along with the official remix with Kanye West.
November 17, 2012 Rihanna paid tribute to her late grandmother, who passed away in July 2012 after a long battle with cancer, with a large tattoo of the Kemetic goddess Aset (Greek name Isis) on her chest.
Uh-Oh! It's looks like Rihanna's new album 'Unapologetic' has sprung a leak. First, we heard Rihanna and Chris Brown's infectious duet 'Nobody's Business' and now we get another collaborative smash with her destined club hit 'Numb,' featuring Eminem.
Are Rihanna and Chris Brown (aka ChRihanna) trying to tell us something, like, say, the status of their relationship is none of our bidness?

November 14, 2012 In the mid 1960’s, while touring with Ramsey Lewis, Maurice White introduced the Kalimba to American audiences. An African instrument, the Kalimba is made of a small wooden box with thin metal strips attached to the base. When the strips are plucked—they sound like vibes. Maurice went on to later form a group called the Salty Peppers; Capitol Records lures them to the left coast in 1969 with the promise of more to come.
'Nobody's Business,' the controversial collaboration between Rihanna and her former beau, Chris Brown, is an upbeat pop song that recalls classic Michael Jackson, based on a 90-second sample of the track that leaked this week.
Rihanna has added some extra swag to her Diamonds World Tour with the recent addition of suave rapper A$AP Rocky. The Harlemite will join the Bajan songbird on the North American leg of the trek in 2013.
