STOP SLEEPING ON TINASHE I’m sorry, usually I’m not that direct when I’m writing about an artist I love but when I see an artist that sings, writes, produces and most importantly PERFORMS consistently and they’re still being slept on I get in my feelings. 2016 was a great year for Tinashe. From multiple magazine… Read More Tinashse Is Ready To Take Over 2017
Zara Larsson continues to command me to love her more than I thought I could whenever she drops a new song. The latest being “I Would Like”, an undeniable floor filler with a hook that will not be ignored. Larsson’ vocals are on 10 (as always) on the Monsters & Strangerz (Nick Jonas’s “Levels”, Fifth Harmony’s… Read More Zara Larsson Keeps The Hits Coming With ‘I Would Like’
Terror Jr became the mysterious pop group of my dreams when they dropped their first single on a Kylie Jenner glosses commercial earlier this year and now we have a bop filled EP to get us through the rest of 2016 (The election coming to an end is reason enough to party our fears away right?).… Read More Terror Jr Supplies The Bops With Debut EP

I haven’t been this excited to post an OTW playlist in a minute. Last month I had about four songs on rotation so I didn’t want to force a playlist but October will more than make up for it. What I love most about this month’s playlist is that it’s a nice balance between mainstream… Read More OTW – October 2016
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’
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
