Ella Mai has had one heck of a year. The slow burning buzz turned boil of her hit single, “Boo’d Up” has made the British singer a household name. Although the song caught fire over a year after its release, her entire Ready EP was more than a solid effort. Now, fast forward to the […]

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 […]
