Rihanna

A few days ago, <a href="/profile/Rihanna" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Rihanna</a> surprised fans by dropping her new <a href="/profile/sia" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Sia</a>-penned single <a href="http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/rihanna-sledgehammer-new-song.1970360.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">&#8220;Sledgehammer&#8221;</a> off the upcoming Star Trek movie&#8217;s official soundtrack. It&#8217;s currently sitting at a 35% user rating, but that&#8217;s not going to deter Rihanna. Thursday morning, she dropped the single&#8217;s official music video.
Directed by Floria Sigismondi, &#8220;Sledgehammer&#8221; takes Rihanna to a far away planet, where she broods dramatically amidst a landscape of towering rock pillars. The video begins modestly; by the end, it has become a truly cosmic spectacle. 
&#8220;Star Trek Beyond&#8221; stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana. It is scheduled to hit theaters on July 22.
