Big Time Rush's '24/Seven' Album Cover First Look! (EXCLUSIVE)
Rushers, we're so excited to premiere the cover art for Big Time Rush's new album, 24/Seven (due in June), with all of you!
During our recent live video Q&A couch sesh with the guys, Logan Henderson, James Maslow, Kendall Schmidt and Carlos Pena, Jr. told us they thought long and hard about what they wanted as the image for the album cover. And we love that they chose something everyone could relate to.
They kept it casual by hanging out in front of a convenience store being, well, normal guys!
It's straightforward and represents BTR outside of their crazy work schedules. With Logan on the skateboard, Kendall with his slurpee, Carlos holding a toy helicopter control and James just hanging out, they prove that they are just four guys who like to have a good time, all the time.
What do you think of the album art?
Also, don't forget that season 4 of Big Time Rush starts on May 2 on Nickelodeon!

Meet The Fruit Shoot Skills Crew
N.C. Flex
N.C. FLex is the Daddy of the Crew – and he’s all about bringing the noise – whether he is making it himself or getting down to some heavy beats! N.C. FLex’s skills in Street Dance and Percussion make him a heavy hitter when it comes to giving the Crew the heartbeat they need to get up, and get the crowds pumping! N.C. FLex makes sure the Crew stay as tight as possible, and deliver the business every time!
L.A. Trucks
L.A. Trucks is the UK number 1 female Skateboarder and is a serious female force to be reckoned with when she is riding! L.A. Trucks has been getting on her board, and getting gnarly since she was young, and ever since guys told her ‘Girls can’t skate!’ she has worked hard to prove them wrong! She surfs curbs and hammers half-pipes like she was born on a board and the best thing about it all – she helps other girls who love skating to believe that anything is possible, even if it is a male dominated sport.
L.A. Trucks will bring Spirit and Resilience to the Crew – and knows that whenever times are getting tough and you feel you’ve given all you’ve got, then you’ve just got to get back on the board and enjoy the ride!
Connor Boost
URBAN GYMNAST
Connor is the Power House of the Crew! As an Urban Gymnast, Boost combines his incredible acrobatics and free running skills to navigate his environment in the most creative, exciting and adrenalin-fuelled way possible! There’s no such thing as a stroll down the road for Connor – every We see the street we walk down quite differently to Connor – he see’s them as a gauntlet of endless possibilities, and he enjoys every step of the journey!
Connor will bring Nerves of Steel and Identity to the crew – with free running built on self-expression, he wants to make sure anyone trying any skill makes sure they do it the way they want to – and has an amazing time doing it!
Matti Axel
Matti is a Flatland BMXer who takes riding to a whole new dimension! Flatlanding – the ‘Break Dance’ of BMX – is all about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on two wheels (and often, just one wheel!) and Matti is the Master! He uses his bike to create movements you’d never expect, with balance, fluidity and gravity-defying skill! And whether he is riding solo or rolling with a crew, he knows that everywhere is a skate park, and no ride is ever the same!
Matti Axel will bring Originality and Out-the-box thinking to the crew – after all, he is proof that if you push the boundaries of creativity – the rewards are spectacular!
Roxy Flo
Roxy Flo is one of the top Break Dancers on the planet, and is known for her incredible freezes, effortless power and gymnastic flexibility in making the music come alive! Roxy loves ripping up the stage with a crew, but is always ready to step into the spotlight and own the stage solo-style.
Oh, and one more thing… Roxy is the Guinness World Record holder for most Head spins in 1 minute, 71 rotations to be exact! There is no doubt that Roxy is bringing pure Swagger to the Crew – so wherever they are, they know they can count on Roxy to catch the beat and bring the noise!
Drew Hoops
Drew Hoops isn't just a Basketball Freestyler, he is THE Basketball Freestyler – and to put it lightly, there’s nothing this guy can’t do with a ball, or two, or three!
Drew’s lightning fast fingers and mind-blowing ball handling skills set him apart from most players around. Whether he’s spinning, dribbling or dunking his way across the court, it’s obvious this baller has serious bounce! Off the court, he is a gentleman, but on the court it’s a different story – and when he has a ball in his hand, and a defender in his way, one of them is leaving embarrassed… and it’s not Drew!
Drew Hoops will be bringing the Flair and Cheekiness to the Crew – if they need a boost he will be there to pick them up and get them bouncing again!
Laura Kicks
Laura Kicks is one of the most renowned Football Freestylers in the world, and it’s obvious why! Her ball skills wow the crowds and it’s true what they say about keeping your eye on the ball, because when Laura’s around you never know what might happen! But one thing is pretty much certain, that ball won’t touch the ground!
Laura is a winner – through and through – and she knows exactly what it takes when the pressure is on and you need to make it count, so Laura is bringing Style and Focus to the crew – after all, when things are getting hectic – you’ve got to keep the goal in your sights!
