June gets off to a “bad” start for fans of Rihanna. The Barbados native’s sophomore set, Good Girl Gone Bad, drops today and features Jay-Z on her hit track “Umbrella” as well as Ne-Yo on “Hate That I Love You.”

Rihanna has taken the title of the album seriously in her current video, which sees her come off like a young Madonna – slutty but strangely playful. In a recent interview with Giant magazine she said:

“I got all painted in silver, almost butt naked (she whispers). That was one of the scenes in the video. I felt liberated. I felt free and I felt like I was a “good girl gone bad.” It was a pretty cool thing to do. I never thought that in a million years I would paint myself up to my nostrils in silver and do a video. It was fantastic. It was one of my favorite scenes in the entire video.”

Discovered by Method Man and Ol’ Dirty Bastard in 1997, Cilvaringz is the next big thing in the vast Wu Tang Dynasty.

After being invited on stage to freestyle during the Wu-Tang
Forever world tour in Amsterdam, he went on to sign with Wu-Tang Productions and make rap history as being the artist with the most international performances in hiphop – 38 countries in 5 continents.

Cilvaringz’ debut album “I” is set for release on June 12th and features production exclusively by The Wu-Elements (RZA, 4th Disciple, True Master, Mathematics & Bronze Nazareth).

The set also includes an hour-long DVD that relives his (and the whole Wu Tang Clan’s) performances during the 1997 Wu-Tang Clan world tour, interviews with the Clan, RZA & Ringz’ trip to Egypt, recording sessions and more.
