William Singe Drops the Official Video for His New Single, "Please"

William Singe started as a YouTube sensation and is taking the world by storm. Not that long ago he was signed by RCA Records. {congratulations btw} Nonetheless, he's left his fans up in arms about his upcoming music. 

Fret no more. 

"Please" dropped at midnight and it is AMAZING! Typical Singe style...his vocals are lyrical heroine...bringing his runs and stunning range back in this track, this is definitely an artist that will transcend the industry. 

Get your copy of his single, "Please" via the following:

iTunes

Google Play

Amazon

You can also stream it via the following:

Spotify

Deezer

Pandora

And without further ado, the video:

It's only been an hour and the video is already over 18k views. By the time you read this, it'll probably be well into the 20-30k+ view range. Fans and supporters alike have been anticipating his return to the music scene since he signed his deal with RCA Records. Still awaiting the release date on the actual album but I'm hoping it'll drop in time for Christmas.

{MUSIC NEWS} Ella Mai Drops Her Self-titled Album October 12th and Everyone is Ready | @ellamai

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

{KILLSHOT} Who wants Beef? Eminem vs MGK | @Eminem vs @MachineGunKelly

{Killshot} Who Wants Beef? Eminem vs MGK 

Who won? Who lost? Don't let me sway your decision. I'm just another Eminem fan. Don't shoot the messenger. #Killshot

This will probably be the only post of this kind on this blog. This will be raw & unfiltered. The only edits will be grammatical. However, everyone is asking my opinion on this and I really wasn't trying to touch base on it because everyone is doing the same thing; jumping on the bandwagon of the MGK v Eminem beef. Well, you wanted my input; here it is:

So, Eminem just released his clapback to Machine Gun Kelly's diss, "Rap Devil". I want to come off as neutral as possible, but you all know that's not gonna happen, right? I'm only posting one video here. We've all seen the MGK diss video for his apparent suicide by a candy-named related artist. And everyone who is a fan of the old Em versus the new Em, well people consider him "new" I just consider him as a sleeper trying to wake the game up because he's called out talent before, which is why we now have a Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole collaboration to look forward to in the near future but no one will admit to that...will they?

Okay, so onward to the response to MGK's diss track, Eminem releases "Killshot" today; a few hours ago, MGK was pronounced DOA. His career...or what was left of it...has finally been stowed away for the 90s babies to ponder over. Where was MGK before he heard his name in a line of the number one album in the country? What was he doing exactly? Probably perfecting his "man bun", as Eminem so eloquently points out in his response. Do you guys really want to hear me rant? Or would you rather just listen to it? I'm going to let you listen to it. Then you can comment your thoughts below the post.


Now...does anyone remember the movie? Killshot? With Mickey Rourke & Diane Lane? No? Well, let me drop this bomb for you...directed by John Madden, Rourke plays the role of an assassin who, along with his partner, pursue a couple -played by Diane Lane & Thomas Jane- who just happen to stumble across an extortion scheme. They enter into the WPP & still believe the government is no match for the relentless assassins.

Now allow me to tie up the loose strings: MGK saw his chance to gain a short 15-minutes off of a guaranteed name (the extortion). Some so-called fans & those that don't know Eminem before the 2000's, (aka the couple) witness the scheme & go into hiding because they don't think Eminem has it in him to not only respond but to DEFEAT MGK at any cost.

Well, Em is Rourke. And he's relentless. #KILLSHOT bitches & he's got you in his scope...GOAT?! Drop your comments below!

{MUSIC VIDEO} Mark Battles Drops the Music Video for "What" on his Birthday | @markbattles317

Mark Battles Drops the Music Video for "What" on his Birthday

2018 has been an amazing year for hip-hop. All the new albums, EPs, rising artists...wow. And hip-hop fans are ecstatic as rising star, Mark Battles drops the music video for "What" on his birthday. "What" is the fourth track off the recently released Fortunate EP. Filmed by Vasi Films & produced by Money Montage, Battles took a break from the game and came back with a vengeance. His Fortunate EP is the deepest set of lyrical ingenuity since J. Cole released KOD. If you want the scoop on the EP, get that here.

Moving on to the track of the day, "What"...there's a lyric that I agree with 1,000%: "...I ain't in ya top 5, that's a good joke...". Battles is deserving of placement in your top 3, and I'm here to help sway your opinions.

So, without further ado, here's the video of the day from the birthday King, himself:

{ 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!

{ NEW MUSIC } "BANKROLL" by @BCole206

B. Cole's New Single "Bankroll" Sets the Bar

Photo Cred: JennThePR

B. Cole dropped his latest single, "Bankroll", on April 8th. And even before he released the full song, fans & supporters were retweeting, regramming, reposting everything "B. Cole" & his new song, "Bankroll". This single is definitely one to be in your hip-hop playlists & is getting more traction by the second. With over 10k plays on SoundCloud, it's setting the bar for upcoming hip-hop releases. With one of the lines from his new song: "If you fuck with us, you fuckin' with the winnin' team" being an absolute statement, B. Cole's "Bankroll" is defining how you 'win'. 

Following the release of his prior single, "F'N Wit You"--which, by the way, is still getting major play, the popularity of "Bankroll" is growing rapidly & if you haven't heard it then you're definitely missing out on one of the hottest releases to date. 

Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure it won't be long before you do with so many people sharing it, for one of your friends is probably already adding it to their mp3 playlists as I type. But I'm going to help you out a lot, for you can listen to it on SoundCloud below:

{NEW MUSIC} Alone by @halsey {ft. @BigSean & @stefflondon}

Photo cred: Directlyrics

So, do you guys remember the "You Need to Know Artist", Halsey, post from January?

[you can check that post out here]

Well, she's one of the electrifying artists whose music just sticks with you. And she's finally released her new single, "Alone" off her Hopeless Fountain Kingdom album.

There's the original: which I love...and then there's the remix that features Big Sean and

Photo cred: w3livenews

Stefflon Don, which I love even more. I'm not 100% sure if I entirely love the addition of Stefflon Don's part, but I absolutely love that Big Sean was featured. I'll allow y'all to make up your own minds on that because I'll post the video for both the original and the remix and you can leave your comments as to which one you prefer.

Alone: ORIGINAL 

Hopeless Fountain Kingdom on iTunes & Amazon

Alone: REMIX: Official video with Big Sean & Stefflon Don:

Get the single: "Alone" on iTunes & Amazon

Halsey has been very active with having songs with The Chainsmokers, G-Eazy and then her current world tour, which by the way has her in Nashville on July 18th at the Ascend Amphitheater along with Jessie Reyez at 8pm. If you're in or around the area & want tickets, go here. 

And don't forget that Halsey will be at the Summerfest artist showcase in Milwaukee on June 29th along with Logic & numerous others. You can get your tickets for that show here. These tickets will sell out so be sure to get them early!

Photo cred: HipHop24x7

So, which one do you like the most? The original? Or the remix? I have encountered on numerous occasions where the remix was actually better than the original. I'm not 100% sold on this remix. I don't exactly know if adding the other artists was a good idea, however it's getting a lot of traction thus far because the video is already over 140k views and it was just released on April 6th.

But you can leave your ideas in the comments & let me know what you think. Also, be sure to click the 'photo cred' links to check out the other articles on Halsey's "Alone" remix with Big Sean & Stefflon Don & leave a comment stating you got there from here. 

As always, I love you guys.

{ YOU NEED TO KNOW ARTIST } H.E.R. @HERMusicx

Who is H.E.R.? 

Despite how grammatically incorrect that sounds, if you were like me when first hearing this artist, you did not know who it was. You knew you liked the songs. You knew you were addicted to her voice. You knew you couldn't live without one or all of her songs on a playlist. You knew you had to have her album. You knew you wanted to hear more. You knew all of that. Except her name.

She literally took over the world with her first self-titled EPs, H.E.R.: Vol 1 and now she's stealing new hearts and making old fans fall in love all over again with H.E.R. Vol 2: The B Sides. Named in Forbes list of 30 Under 30: Class of 2018 & named "Artist to Watch" from Pandora, she definitely is leaving her mark on the industry...and the world. Her tours are sold out. Her singles are being downloaded at alarming rates. Her EPs are outselling some of the biggest albums of the year. Not to mention, there's a lot of people who still do not know H.E.R. name.


Ready to learn about the artist behind the moniker? Gabi Wilson is the name behind the silhouette you see on her covers. There was speculation after a few weeks. The vocals were similar, the vibes were remembered, sooner or later true fans were bound to put one with the other and find out who this mysteriously talented beauty was and how to let the world know just whom they were listening to.
H.E.R.'s debut project bolted to the No. 1 spot on the iTunes R&B chart. Not to mention, it's been streamed more than 12 million times on Soundcloud. Spotify? Up to 1.6 million MONTHLY listeners. All this without any real promotion of her project or pushing it to radio.
In earlier interviews, the woman behind the acronym said that music isn't listened to "for what it is" anymore and people are always so worried about who the artist is, what they're doing, what they're wearing, who they're friends with, etc...she said she just wants to let people judge the music for what it is without having to deal with the other part of the industry, which is the ever so annoying paparazzi wanting to record and photograph your every move. Nonetheless, she covers her face in photos to keep the mystery going & allows people who listen to H.E.R. to feel the emotions behind the music.

With her velvety tones, dynamic harmonies, soul snatching lyrics, and heart stealing melodies, this artist--whether you know her real name or not--will be the force that awakens real R&B and brings back the music we used to love.

Her latest: "My Song" off Vol. 2: The B Sides, released January the 2nd, is climbing the R&B charts and ever so gracefully showcasing her beloved talent. {audio video below}
