Ed Sheeran stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this week. While he was in New York and NBC studios he took the opportunity to collaborate with Philly's own The Roots on a cover of Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen". Do you think Sheeran's acoustic take could shoot to the top of the charts and unseat the original? Take a listen:

BjÃ¶rk has released a 360 degree virtual reality video for the song "Stonemilker" off her album Vulnicura released in January. If you view the video on Youtube using the Chrome browser you can interact with the video and explore the environment as it plays. It was shot on location in Iceland by director Andrew Huang. He explained that it was a spontaneous shoot born out of access to the VR equipment. He also says that the "the cyclical format of the 360-degrees was perfect for the circular fugue structure of 'Stonemilker.'" BjÃ¶rk has always been known to push the boundaries of creativity. The video debuted during her March retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Rita Ora has released a steamy new video for her single "Poison" off her upcoming second album. The video follows Ora as she gets 'discovered' by a fashion photographer on the streets and quickly rises to stardom as her friends get left behind. Ora realizes she doesn't want all the glitz and glamour and torches it all to go back to her old life, only to find it's not that simple. The song itself was written by Julia Michaels and Kate Nash.

Jay Z's Budweiser Made In America will not be returning to Los Angeles this year. Last year, the Labor Day Weekend music festival expanded to LA's Grand Park and was run simultaneously with the event here in Philly. Numerous issues impacted the decision including the ability of the location to handle such a large event, residents' complaints about noise and crowd control, poor fan experiences, lack of lineup cohesion, and questions about the economic impact to the city. Budweiser Made In America will be back for the 5th year on the Ben Franklin Park Parkway. There is also talk of a free concert in the works for New York's Liberty Island with Mary J. Blige as a headliner.
