August officially comes to an end tomorrow and I couldn’t let a month pass without a playlist of songs that have been stuck on repeat. Usually I like to make these OTW playlists earlier and add songs throughout the month but with moving to a different state (post coming soon) and trying to acclimate to… Read More OTW Playlist – Aug 2016 (Featuring Frank Ocean, Dua Lipa, Kehlani and More)
The wait for CL to make her official U.S. debut has almost been as painful as waiting for Frank Ocean to drop Boys Don’t Cry but thankfully the global superstar has arrived with a new English single and it’s pretty lit (No marijuana pun intended). If you have no idea who CL is I’m going… Read More Get ‘Lifted’ With CL On Her U.S. Debut Single
Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi proved Rae Sremmurd had more to offer beyond a few party songs when they dropped their debut album SremmLife in 2014. Whether they were dropping back to back hits, penning a woke bop for Beyonce or making headlines with their rage-filled concerts, Rae Sremmurd have easily become of the most exciting hip… Read More Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane Strive For Legendary Status On ‘Black Beatles’
The work of a songwriter can be very underrated when it comes to the public’s view of the music industry. People love whenever Rihanna drops a new song but the writers behind those smash hits don’t always get a lot of mainstream love. I think that’s why some songwriters decide to step out of the… Read More Victoria Monet is Stepping Further into the Spotlight With ‘Do You Like It’
During my hiatus from writing I didn’t get to discuss Fifth Harmony taking their well deserved spot on the pop charts or their solid second album 7/27. I’m sure most of you have spent a lot of time with 7/27 since it dropped in May so a lengthy think piece of the bop-filled record is unnecessary… Read More Fifth Harmony Saves The Best Tracks For Napster (‘Voicemail’ ‘Big Bad Wolf’)
Before Rihanna dropped her eight studio album Anti to the navy and tons of anxious ears; there were a few rumors on what the record would sound like. One rumor that had me excited to hear the new era of Rihanna was Florence and the Machine’s “Only If For A Night” being an interpolation for… Read More Rihanna Drops Chaotic Paris Visual For ‘Goodnight Gotham’
Mod Sun and Dej Loaf are two artists that have been on the grind for a couple of years so I hate that it took this long to really get into their music. Mod Sun (stands for “Movement on Dreams, Stand Under None) has been making music since 2004, drumming for the band Scary Kids… Read More Mod Sun + Dej Loaf Drop Lit Single ‘We Do This Shit’ For the Summer
JoJo really knows how to release a scathing breakup song. From classic teenage kiss offs like “Leave (Get Out)” and “Too Little Too Late” to the mid-tempo pop rock ballad “Diaster” released in 2011, with age comes more insight that people are horrible, relationships aren’t easy and sometimes breaks up deserve to be commemorated in… Read More JoJo Is All Out Of F*cks On New Single
With the recent celebration of hip hop legends like Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah and Lil Kim on VH1 Hip Hop Honors and the wave of popping female rappers including Dreezy, Cardi B, DeJ Loaf, Snow Tha Product and Kamaiyah to name a few; it is a great time to be a woman in the hip… Read More Get Familiar With Detroit’s Next Up Kash Doll
If you truly know me then you know that there aren’t too many times where I will cape for Pitbull. I can admit I was a big fan back in 2006 when “Bojangles” was out and that commanding base line made me want to move whenever I heard it but as time went on the… Read More Pitbull Drops A Good Song With Flo-Rida & Lunchmoney Lewis
