Ro James Blows Some Hot ‘Smoke’

Ro James’s debut studio LP, ELDORADO, was one of my favorite R&B albums of 2016. His raspy (and at times falsetto) tenor is kin to the early days of Prince. I have been waiting on him to drop some new music. This year, he decided to break his nearly two year studio silence. Ro James’s […]

Jessie J: A New R.O.S.E. On The Horizon

I’ve always been a fan of Jessie J’s voice. She’s sultry, sexy and boisterous, without being too over the top. I kept waiting for her and her ex boyfriend, Luke James, to do some songs together. However, she has since moved on from that relationship. What happened? The singer has stated that she felt Luke […]

Luke James Returns With ‘These Arms’

Luke James returned with new music this weekend. Although it’s been nearly four years since the release of his self titled debut album, he has been keeping himself quite busy. He has released two EPs in the last year, Move Me and Spellbound. He also starred as Johnny Gill in the critically acclaimed New Edition […]

What Ever Happened To Ye?

Eight days ago, Kanye West was finalizing the cover art artwork for Pusha T’s Daytona album. Now, we all know that $85,000 “cover art” to basically be an old photo of Whitney Houston’s bathroom, with drug paraphernalia sprawled across the counter. Want to know how much he spent for the Ye cover art? Not a […]

Whitney Houston Lives On In Daytona?

Pusha T has returned with his new album, Daytona. The album’s original title was King Push. It’s no surprise that Kanye West’s imprint is all over this album, since Pusha T is with G.O.O.D. Music. First of all, let’s not minimize the potential Midas touch of having Kanye West handle your whole album. Common’s BE […]

25 Reasons Why Janet Is Still The G.O.A.T.

On May 18, 1993, Janet Jackson released her most commercially successful album to date, janet. That was 25 years ago, which is an eternity in the ever changing music business. However, Janet has defied all of the odds over the years. Plus, the 25th anniversary of her biggest album couldn’t have arrived at a better […]

August Greene: Jazz Infused Hip Hop With A Purpose

I love all types of music and Hip Hop is one of my favorite genres. There’s a time for mindless party music and then there’s a time for something real. August Greene has done just that. Don’t feel bad if the name sounds unfamiliar. The group just released their debut album, but its members are […]

Andre 3000 Pays Tribute To His Mother

It’s been about 15 years since the release of Outkast’s commercial juggernaut, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. That album solidified the duo as Pop superstars and one of the greatest (THE greatest in my opinion) rap groups of all time. However, that was 15 years ago. Outside of the Idlewild movie soundtrack (released in 1996), the duo […]

BJ The Chicago Kid Gives Teaser Ceremony

I have been a longstanding fan of BJ The Chicago Kid ever since I heard his last album, In My Mind. I even went back to check out his debut, PINEAPPLENOW-LATERS. Now, he has come out of nowhere with some new music.  The music industry has seen a popular shift in artists dropping new music […]

JaySyd’s Old Feelings, New Memories (Interview-Part 1)

It’s only been a couple of years since JaySyd released his EP, Her. Since then, he has been busy churning out more catchy, infectious tunes. His work ethic is incredible, as evident by his album Thanks for Nothing (2017) and his new project, Old Feelings, New Memories. JaySyd was born in Germany, but based in […]
