Ella Mai Drops Her Self-titled Debut Album October 12th & Everyone is Ready

I have been a fan of Ella Mai since I heard her song "A Thousand Times". However, she's new to the masses of individuals who've been under a rock when it comes to real R&B music because she recently has gained traction as one of the top charting female artists for her single, "Boo'd Up". There's not a song by this artist I won't listen to; she speaks to my soul. And I'm pretty sure that's why she's acquired so much attention over the past few months because all of her songs are like that: melodic, soulful, relatable; she's just so f&%$ing talented! And gorgeous is just icing on the cake. Ella can sing her a$$ off! And her songs are so laid back with that neo-soul vibe that you can listen to all day...night...forever. She will remain a #playlistpermanent artist for myself and others who enjoy true R&B. 

For the record, her self-titled debut album drops October 12th and everyone is ready for it. The world is ready for real music and I am overly ecstatic that she's finally getting the recognition she so unapologetically deserves. Her natural beauty shines through her music with her unrelenting virbratto that just works. And she's not stopping at the number one spot on the Billboard...with over 1.3 million followers on YouTube, 1.8 million on Instagram, 239k on Twitter & those numbers continue to increase daily...she's taking over the world!

And while everyone is replaying her newest single, "Trip", I'm still vibing to her single, "Naked", which was released in February. It didn't gain as much traction once "Boo'd Up" hit the airwaves, but it's an amazing song with an even more amazing sentiment. Just because I care about your musical preferences--lol-- I'll leave you with the video for #Naked as well as her latest, #Trip. And you can #ThankMeLater.

Now, go pre-order her upcoming album so you can be the first to have it on replay while the rest of the world is still sleeping.

Her latest single, Trip:

And the bonus video I told you I was going to give you, Naked...#ThankMeLater

{ NEW ALBUM } @RaeSremmurd Releases SR3MM on May 4th

 SR3MM: Third Studio Album from Rae Sremmurd Dropped May 4th

SR3MM is probably one of the American hip-hop duo's most anticipated album releases, yet. They came onto the scene as two young brothers from Tupelo, Mississippi trying to make it, when P-Nazty, producer & Tupelo, Mississippi native, took notice and then introduced them to multi-platinum producer, Mike Will Made-iT.

Impressed by their sound and their energy, the brothers were signed on the spot & now here we are vibin' to their 3rd studio album from Ear Drummers Records.

Oh...a little insight...in case you didn't know: their name: Rae Sremmurd is their record label spelled backwards --Ear Drummers-- just thought I'd tell you. 

I was like, what! Ha!

See, this is what the industry's been missing: originality. Though their sounds are similar, their style is all their own. And the vibes you get when you hear their music is unmatched.

Striving for a higher pinnacle, their initial debut landed them at number 6 on the Billboard chart with over 7 million streams worldwide. The triple-release is made up of 2 solo albums & one collaborative: Swaecation & Jxmtro & SR3MM.

The two are amazing together.

Are you ready for their solos?

Stream SR3MM on Spotify below & let me know in the comments which song you want them to release as their next single. For which track are you most likely looking forward to the video? Leave all your comments below & if there's any upcoming albums you'd like me to do a review post on, let me know & I'll get it done!

Be sure to follow Rae Sremmurd on Twitter & Instagram & in the meantime, click below to get your own copy of SR3MM!

As always, I hope you enjoyed the content.

Until next time...

{ NEW ALBUM } @JColeNC Announces #KOD Releases THIS FRIDAY!

J. Cole Announces his new Album, "K.O.D" Release

I honestly believe every J. Cole fan has been waiting in limbo for a new album since his 2016 release of "4 Your Eyez Only"...all while keeping the latter on repeat & spreading his tracks throughout numerous mixes & playlists, just so you won't go through withdrawals.

Well, if you're one of those fans, fret not any longer...

J. Cole officially announced his new album is dropping THIS FRIDAY {4/20} titled "K.O.D". Now, what the acronym stands for, right now, I do not know but I'm sure we'll know by the end of the week. Are you not excited, though?!?! You guys! I was like WHAT?!?! And I literally just got this news TONIGHT {4/16}.

Rumors have been emerging about J. Cole releasing a new album earlier today {4/16} when he unexpectedly wiped his IG account & then replaced all his social accounts with a lavender shaded image. Then he announced on Twitter to his fans (right) & proceeded to hold an impromptu performance --basically an album listening-- for NYC fans & those in proximity. With the flyer being as discreet & to-the-point as possible, fans were in for a treat as he performed ALL 12 songs that are going to be on the K.O.D. album.

With his social accounts coming up with the mysterious purple shade of artwork, fans were on edge trying to see what J. Cole was up to. Well, now we know.

Because just hours later, he tweets:

And within minutes, there were thousands of retweets & likes...and as you can see, this was around 6:30, so I'm pretty sure there's more than that now.

Not to mention, it's been stated that this album took only 2 weeks to make. That takes pure talent you guys! You cannot deny that.

Nonetheless, be on the lookout for an update as soon as the album drops, I'll do a full review & give you a chance to listen to a few of my favorites off the album...which will probably be every...single...song! But, hey! If you're a J. Cole fan, you won't mind.

But that's all I've got for you right now & I hope you enjoyed the update you guys; like I said, come back later for the update. I'll check in with y'all again later this week. Thanks for reading!
