4 Awkward 2019 Grammy Moments

I tuned in to the Grammys last night, as I typically do every year. I’m not a fan of the entire broadcast. I do like seeing my favorite artists perform and the awards they may win though. Alicia Keys hosted the event and everyone from Lady Gaga to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Diana […]

Reeze Gets Us Ready For The ‘Night Shift’

I was first introduced to Reeze’s music about a year ago, with his single “Knew Dat”. That song is one of my morning workout regulars on my playlist, so I decided to check out some of his previous singles and his debut EP, Square One. Now, he’s back with his brand new single, “Run It […]

5 Reasons Why Missy Elliott Is Set To Dominate 2019

Missy Elliott has had quite roller-coaster career. Although she hasn’t released a studio album in 14 years (2005’s The Cookbook), her presence has remained relevant. To this day, her creativity in music videos, styling and song construction remains unparalleled. 90s baby’s laughed aloud as young millennials questioned who the hot, new featured artist was on […]

Amerie Returns At 4:00 AM

It was that “One Thing” in 2005 that gave Amerie her big breakout hit. However, her last studio album, In Love & War, was released in 2009. Since then, her presence has virtually disappeared from the music industry. So it only seems fitting that her new studio album is a double release. Amerie switched her […]

Mariah Carey: ‘Butterfly’ Is Officially Legal

Mimi a.k.a. The Elusive Chanteuse a.k.a. Mariah Carey has a lot to celebrate this week. First, she has a brand new single, “GTFO”. However, I’ll get to that a little later. She is also celebrating the 21 year anniversary of her classic album, Butterfly. Although it’s a bit disturbing how obsessed (pun intended) she became […]

Janet Jackson Is Back With ‘Made For Now’

Janet Jackson has made one hell of a comeback in the last year. Then again, her influence has never really left. After a well deserved break with her new baby, Eissa, she returned with her first leg of the State of the World tour at the end of 2017. The tour is still in full […]

Justin Ruff Gives New Blue Moon

It’s rare to find genuine R&B music these days. This is why (with a few exceptions), I’ve been resorting to some 90s classics lately. However, I have been following Justin Ruff and his music for a couple of years. His brand of music never disappoints. So, I was excited to hear his latest single, “Every […]

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 […]

What The Jay Z Grammy Snub Really Means

If you caught the 60th Annual Grammy Awards show last night, then you know the most nominated artist of the night went home (kinda) empty handed. Jay Z was nominated for a whopping 8 awards (including Album of the Year). However, even without any wins his influence was as big as ever. The Album of […]

Miguel’s Intricate War & Leisure

Miguel could have easily titled his latest album Easy Rebel Soul. He has solidified his signature sound on his fourth studio album, War & Leisure. This time, he has perfected his marriage of soft, melodic vocals with heavy, jagged guitar riffs. Miguel recognizes that he shines brightest when he’s in his soulful Rock element. The new […]
