The Houston native has been preparing himself for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards to take place February 2017. Metro is not privy to the award ceremony as he has been, considered fro the past three years, bringing even more attention to the musical scene for the Texas based artist.
The single is being considered for at least two categories, Best R&B Song and R&B Performance! The newly released record “Mercy Merci”, has already been making noise on airwaves and will soon have a video release. A true R&B record, the new single elaborates on a relationship controlled by want and need of acceptance. “Who Do you Think you are?” Just one of the phrases from the new song, that invoke emotion to the listeners ears.
J Metro has a catalog of hits including 8 billboard charting singles, and with the year closing out, we can only expect to hear a long awaited debut album from the R&B artist sometime next year. Mercy Merci will surely become a staple in Metro's career as the single becomes a real R&B classic by its 90s jam feel. Don't miss out on the opportunity to support this amazing artist by voting for him, and getting your download of Mercy Merci today!

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. stopped by to see an old foe, and Manny Pacquiao tried his best to give him a show.
With Mayweather watching intently from a ringside seat, Pacquiao dropped Jessie Vargas in the second round and bloodied his face Saturday night on his way to a lopsided decision that gave him a piece of the welterweight title once again.
Pacquiao won on all three ringside scorecards — 118-109, 118-109 114-113 — to take the piece of the title Vargas won in his last fight. The AP scored it 119-109 for Pacquiao.
"Not bad," Mayweather said, giving Pacquiao a thumbs up after the fight.
It was vintage Pacquiao at times, even though he couldn't stop Vargas like he desperately wanted to. And with Mayweather at ringside it certainly will stir talk of a second fight between the boxers who went at it last year in the richest fight ever.
That, of course, would depend on Mayweather coming out of retirement and Pacquiao being able to fight while still attending to his duties as a senator in the Philippines. Mayweather did not answer questions about a possible return to the ring shouted at him by writers at ringside.
"I invited him to be here tonight," Pacquiao said, saying "we'll see" when asked if the two could meet again.
Pacquiao pressed the fight from the opening bell, trying to score a knockdown. He looked as if he would when he caught Vargas with a straight left that put him on the canvas, but Vargas got up quick and fought the distance.
"I feel I could do more but every round I tried to knock him out," Pacquiao said.
Just before the bell rang to start the fight, Pacquiao smiled and waved a fist at Mayweather. He clearly wanted to impress Mayweather, who won their first fight easily.
But Pacquiao, who has not knocked out an opponent in seven years, wasn't going to stop the younger Vargas in his hometown. Vargas had difficulty dealing with Pacquiao's speed, but was more than willing to trade punches to try and lure him into a brawl.
In the eighth round he succeeded at doing that, hitting Pacquiao with a big right and punching his gloves together as if to tell him to stand and fight. Pacquiao went right back after him and they traded punches before staring at each other when the bell sounded to end the round.
"Fighting Manny Pacquiao is like playing a very fast game of chess," Vargas said. "You have to be alert at all times, there are a lot of punches coming in. He was very fast and he was very sharp."
Vargas was cut over the right eye by an accidental clash of heads in the eighth, and blood trickled into his eye but it didn't seem to be a factor.
The taller Vargas landed some good right hands of his own, but they were infrequent and he rarely followed up on them. Still, they were enough to keep Pacquiao away at times and offset some of his advantage with speed.
"I didn't want to be careless," Pacquiao said. "I was very careful to go inside because I know he will counter me."
Pacquiao was credited with landing 147 of 409 punches to 104 of 562 for Vargas. Pacquiao also was given a 101-70 advantage in power punches.
Mayweather took a ringside seat alongside his daughter to watch the man who helped make him untold millions when they fought in 2015. Mayweather won that fight, and Pacquiao's performance was largely panned, though he claimed to have an injured shoulder.
Pacquiao, fighting in his 22nd title fight in a pro career that stretches back to 1995, trained at night in the Philippines in the weeks leading up to the fight so he could tend to his day job as a newly elected senator. With the senate out of session, he was back in a more familiar place, with a crowd of some 16,132 nearly filling the UNLV campus arena to watch him take on Vargas, who was in only his second title bout.
Pacquiao, who earned a reported $100 million to fight Mayweather in the richest fight ever, was guaranteed $4 million plus a percentage of the revenue of the fight. Vargas got $2.8 million.
Pacquiao improved to 59-6-2, while Vargas fell to 27-2.

The fallout from Lil Wayne's ill-fated interview with ABC's"Nightline" continues. The controversy surrounds Wayne's answer to a question about Black Lives Matter by host Linsey Davis.
"That just sounds weird that you put a name on it.," Wayne told Davis. "It's not a name; it's not "whatever, whatever." It's somebody got shot by a policeman for a fucked up reason. I am a young, black, rich motherfucker. If that don't let you know that America understand black motherfucker's these days, I don't know what it is. That man white; he filming me. I'm a nigga. I don't know what you mean, man. Don't come at me with that dumb shit, ma'am. My life matter. Especially to my bitches.
T.I. posted a portion of the interview on Instagram, with a blistering caption ripping Weezy for what he considered to be "cooning" for the camera.
"@liltunechi This is my son & daughter showing me this for the first time & asking me what you mean? I'm at a complete loss of words here. Wayne I've known you over a decade. Our daughters grew up together practically," T.I. wrote. "Reginae' spent countless times at my house with Niq-Niq when you were in prison & you extended my daughter the same courtesy when I was in the same position. Our relationship outside of music is what makes me sensitive to your disposition. I KNOW you wired a bit different than most other responsible adults, but still nigga U TRIPPING!!!! I don't know what you goin thru,or what you are attempting to avoid but this shit is absolutely unacceptable!!!! You're disrespecting yourself,bringing shame on your family name & tarnishing your legacy. You have children (including mines prior to now) that have looked up to you. You have sons & a daughter that depend upon your leadership. Bro if you don't stand for something out here,all the money,jewelry,cars,mansions bandannas & hit records don't mean shit!!!! Our people are being oppressed!!! We are being hunted,captured & slaughtered out here daily!!! You have to get outta that bubble that you've been living in & get out here & educate yourself on what's going on around US!!! I'm always here to share whatever knowledge or understanding I may have to assist your growth & development,but u MUST STOP this buffoonery & coonin' you out here doin. You looking like somebody who has something to gain or lose by pretending like it's not as bad as BLM making it seem & you're not aware of an issue that needs to be addressed. That's what would be considered "Uncle Tom Shit".... I know U,YOURE BETTER THAN THIS!!!!! I've been proud to call myself a fan & a friend of Lil Wayne ,but if that must end in order to stand up for those who can't do it for themselves...So be it. If you're not prepared for a question in an interview,say No Comment Bro. But stop embarrassing yourself & everyone out here who's been supporting you. There is no middle ground. Oppression knows no neutral party,either you're part of the oppressed,or you with the oppressor. There is no such thing as oppression not affecting you. It's #USorELSE out here."
Wendy Williams took aim at Blac Chyna, her mom Tokyo Toni and fiance Rob Kardashian during her show Friday, November 4.
Williams said Rob is a shell of his former self, has "given up" on life, is overweight, dresses terribly, isn't smart, has no swagger, isn't be a real man and is being taken advantage of by Chyna and Tokyo.
"Chyna comes from the world of the [stripper] pole," Williams told her audience. "I feel like this is a great come-up for Chyna. Not every woman can be marching on Congress, or running for president, or having a talk show or being a professot at Harvard. There are some women who are left to their own devices and apparently that was Chyna. That's why a woman goes to the pole," the talk show host continued. "And her come-up is she runs into this guy and she's taking advantage of everything. I'm glad she's not my kin. It's very fun to watch she and her mom Tokyo Toni come up off of the backs of people who don’t see through their ruse. Oh, she's not attracted to him."
On Saturday, November 5, Chyna fired back at Williams in an Instagram post.
"Wendy.. Wendy.. Wendy....you lost your motherfuckin mind hoe?" Chyna captioned a less than flattering photo of Williams. "How dare you speak on me, my fiancé, and my mom like you were at the Christmas table with us?! I find it so funny how you love to talk about Rob and his insecurities like at a point in time you wasn't a fat 400 pound ass bitch on the radio! You telling him to put some some bass in his voice? You want him to be like Kevin? Right you want Rob to put some bass in his voice and a fist upside my head next right? You want him to be like your husband? Rob is MY MAN! MINE! I love him for who he is which is why we are together. Therefore it doesn't fucking matter what you 'Think' or 'Want' him to be he's not for you Bitch! Then let's not talk about this Lil vendetta you have with my mom. Wendy Bitch you're cruisin' Honestly, truly.. You go out there talking about my family like you just hit the pipe backstage! When I decided to do this show I knew I would be letting the world see us. But your horse face ass woke up on the wrong side of the stable and decide to go overboard with your fuck boy comments. Bitch fuck you ! 'P' body ass hoe."

O.T. Genasis is preparing to drop a new mixtape titled "Coke N Butter" soon. Here's an official music video for the lead song off of the project, "Right Back."
During his 2010 stint in New York's Rikers Island jail, Lil Wayne, kept a journal on the eight-month experience. Those notes became a new book titled "Gone 'Til November: A Journal Of Rikers Island."
Hot Boy Turk sat down with DJ Smallz and read a page from it. Then talked about how it related to his prison experience and offered advice that hopefully will keep others from going through the same thing.
Popular podcaster Taxstone of "Tax Season" sat down with VladTV recently and had an interesting take on Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, and the revelation that he called Lil Jon an Uncle Tom while filming an episode of "Celebrity Apprentice."
DJ Vlad: What's your take on Donald Trump?
Taxstone: I like Donald Trump. I like open racists. I like people that's openly racist. I don't like sneaky racists. He's an open racist and I Appreciate that about him.
Vlad: You appreciate that he called Lil Jon an Uncle Tom?
Taxstone: Maybe he was right. Maybe he is an Uncle Tom. Trump gon' say what he want. I think everybody can say whatever they wanna say. I think we all should be allowed to say what we wanna say. I think we should be allowed. I think we should allowed to be racists. I think we should be allowed to express our feelings. I think if your true feelings is that you don't like a certain race, or color, or whoever ... I think you should be allowed to do that. I don't like you either, motherfucker. It's that easy. You don't like me, I don't like you.
Vlad: You're not talking about disliking a certain person because that's perfectly fine. You're talking about disliking a whole race of people.
Taxstone: Ain't nothing wrong with that. Dislike me, motherfucker. Dislike all of us. I don't care. What the fuck is your dislike gonna do to me? For other people they deal with certain sensitivities that I don't deal with.
Vlad: If you have a president that dislikes black people that is gonna do something to you.
Taxstone: Oh yeah, as far as the president, but this is the United States of America. We can't act like this has never been ... this is what it is, motherfucker. He's just saying it. How many presidents we might have had that don't like black people? I don't think [George W. Bush] ever liked black people. I agree with Kanye West. All the Bush's. Bush Gardens, George Bush, Laura Bush, any Bush.
Amber Rose held her second annual "SlutWalk" in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 1. Supporters of Rose's movement argue that the event empowers women.
Critics like Brand Nubian rapper and socially conscious speaker, Lord Jamar, believe it's immoral.
Jamar recently sat down with VladTV to discuss Rose and her "Slutwalk."
"A SlutWalk is some dumb shit," Jamar said. "That's my take on it. [It's] some stupid shit. If my son's mother appeared at a Slutwalk with my son, I'd be tight like a motherfucker. What the fuck are you doing at a Slutwalk? The shit that we embrace in this society. The shit we try to justify ... it's truly insane. And now that done give [Rose] a show and a platform to promote this shit even more."
"Sluts should be shamed," he continued. "Nobody, male or female, should be running around fucking everybody. Me entering a woman is different than a woman being entered, but that's a whole 'nother thing right there. But all of this shit about a woman should be able to do ... dress however the fuck she wants. Even if her pussy's hanging out and her ass is all out and her tits is all out. And anything that she does should be OK and she shouldn't be shamed for it? Shame is necessary in society. Shame is necessary to curtail unwanted behaviors. Equal is not identical. Don't try to compare a man's shit to a woman's shit because it's not the same."

The latest single release“Memories” has set the tone for The Boy Illinois upcoming project "Home Court Advantage," by bringing a classic, lyrical, fun feeling that has been lost in hip hop. Illi creates a story, placing the listener in a setting where you can visualize everything he spits, from riding the "L" (CTA Train), to not making money yet creating opportunities. Although it is a short song, it is jammed with a dozens of life lessons, “Memories” takes you back to hot punch lines and unmatched bars. With a catchy hook & mid tempo flow, The Boy Illinois grabs hold of his claim to righteousness but all about success, money, being the best and coming up with his team from day one.
