For this week’s “Feature Friday” installment, I have picked a rock song from Fall Out Boy titled “Tiffany Blews” featuring a short auto-tuned guest appearance from Lil Wayne.

The Fall Out Boy and Neal Avron-co-produced track appears on the American rock band’s fourth studio album, Folie à Deux, which was released back in 2008.

“Not the boy I was, the boy I am is just venting, venting; Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city; I’m not the boy I was, the boy I am is just venting, venting; Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city”

You can listen to “Tiffany Blews” below.

The “Feature Friday” installment for this week is Fall Out Boy‘s official remix of their “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race” single featuring verses from Lil Wayne, Travie McCoy, Tyga, Kanye West, Paul Wall, Skinhead Rob, and Lupe Fiasco.

The original version of this Neal Avron-produced song appears on the rock band’s album, Infinity On High, which was released back in 2007. This track was also performed live at the 2007 MTV VMAs.

“I am your arms dealer, I’m more like an armed dealer; Liter-rally, really, I don’t get this song neither; But I’mma figure it out like a palm reader”

You can listen to “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race” remix below.

The lineup for the 5th annual iHeartRadio Music Festival, which will be hosted by Ryan Seacrest, has been revealed and Lil Wayne will be one of the headliners. Tickets for the event will go on sale to the general public tomorrow (August 1st).

As well as Weezy, other artists who will also be performing live at the festival includes: Kanye West, Janet Jackson, Sam Smith, Duran Duran, The Who, The Weeknd, David Guetta, Diplo, The Killers, Jason Derulo, Coldplay, Fall Out Boy, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Disclosure, and more.

This year’s iHeartRadio Music Festival will be taking place over 2 days (September 18th – 19th) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and it will be streamed live via Yahoo! and iHeartMedia’s radio stations, as well as broadcasted on The CW Television Network September 29th and 30th!

On July 23rd, Lil Wayne will appear on VH1’s new music series called SoundClash, along with American rock band Fall Out Boy and British group London Grammar.

SoundClash, which is being executive produced by Questlove and hosted by Diplo, will feature three artists all on the same stage at one time performing their hits, songs with the other artists (if they have any), and covers.

Wayne has three collaborations with Fall Out Boy (“America’s Suitehearts (Remix)”, “Tiffany Blews”, and “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race (Remix)”), so I wonder if they will perform any of those tracks together? Even if they don’t, I’m sure it will still be interesting to watch!
