Bruno Mars and his band sure know how to put on a show. Thankfully, his stage presence and voice were put to great use at the Grammys last night as he paid tribute to musical icon Bob Marley along with Sting, Ziggy Marley, Rihanna and Damien Marley. This was definitely my favorite performance of the night, and it looks like the crowd enjoyed it more than anything. Rest in paradise, Mr. Marley!

Justin Timberlake wasn't eligible for any awards at last night's 55th Annual Grammy Awards, but he was one of the ceremony's biggest winners. After performing his new hit "Suit & Tie" with Jay-Z and debuting his follow up "Pusher Love Girl," it was clear how refreshing his return to the music world truly is.

Watch below as he puts on a well rounded show, and hit the comments with your thoughts on his performance!

[Music Video] Drake - "Started From The Bottom"

This video dropped before Drake took home the Grammy for Rap Album of the Year, but the honor makes "Started From The Bottom" even more fitting. "HYFR" was a pretty hilarious video, but this may take the cake as Drake gets upgraded from a stockboy to night manager to superstar while bringing his friends up with him.

[Music Video] Melanie Fiona - "Wrong Side Of A Love Song" (Co-starring Omari Hardwick)

There's way too much fine in this video for my eyes to handle. And to make things more difficult, Larenz Tate was behind the camera directing the action in Melanie Fiona's latest video for "Wrong Side Of A Love Song."

Watch below as she reflects on a love lost, and hit the jump to view the amount of chemistry Melanie and her on screen beau Omari Hardwick had while shooting. The MF Life is in stores now!

Nas Lost To Whom?!?! A complete list of Nas' Grammy Snubs

When someone's had a career as fruitful as Nasir Jones has, it goes without saying that he should have more than a few Grammys under his belt. To the horror of many hip hop fans (myself included), Nas boasts 0, despite being nominated a whopping 9 times.

Immediately I wondered, who took home the golden award? Were the victors the rap reincarnation of Milli Vanilli, or were they deserving opponents? Take a look at Nas' Grammy snubs over the years, and wish him luck as he's nominated for 3 awards tonight thanks to the commercial and critical success of Life Is Good.

Luke James - "I.O.U."

Grammy nominated singer Luke James is forever indebted. To whom? I'm sure fans would like to take credit, but it turns out his new single "I.O.U." is dedicated to his mother. Awwwwwwww.....

Stream "I.O.U." below, and while you're at it, download his free album Whispers In The Dark produced by Danja. Good stuff.

ForteBowie - "Gucci Mane"

In case you didn't know, ForteBowie is the rapper that completely knocked the first verse of Trinidad Jame$' "Southside" out of the water. I've been hoping to hear more from the Atlanta rapper since hearing his Don't Be S.A.F.E. guest verse, and POW, a new EP is on the way.

Stream ForteBowie's latest track "Gucci Mane" below, which probably won't sound anything like you assumed it will. Definitely plan on adding this to some sets.

Download

ForteBowie's debut EP Vice Haus is set to hit the net on February 18th.

James Blake - "Retrograde"

I think the gloomy weather in Atlanta is connecting me closer to this song, but James Blake's "Retrograde" is sure to get played consistently, even on the sunniest of days.

James Blake's 2011 breakthrough self-titled debut has left fans thirsty for more, and when news dropped that his sophomore effort Overgrown is set for an April 8th release, anticipation grew even larger. To top it off, check out "Retrograde," Overgrown's first single which premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.
