New Music Releases

It has been an eventful two weeks in hip-hop/Rap and R&B spaces. The girls and the guys have been fighting. Many spectators debate whether rap and entertainment confrontations are conducive to the art forms. Artists have competed and displayed their quarrels since the beginning of entertainment history. There are still talks of Big and Pac, whose verse was better on 'The Boy is Mine' record and a reason 'No Vaseline' is considered one of the greatest diss records ever. Competitiveness and disagreement exist in all professions. Rap and hip-hop are about shit-talking and proving who the best MC is. I see it as fun and harmless banter as long as everyone is mature enough to leave it there. Sometimes, you gotta tell a mofo to move around and then…let it go! 

A lot of hot new music was released over the weekend. Normani’s hot new Single, “1:59” ft Gunna, is a slow and sensual R&B bop. Check her out, and run the streams up. Foggieraw and Ari Lennox graced us with the regal visuals of their latest song, “Stay Awhile,” with a smooth and flirtatious vibe. It is a beautiful collaboration of rhythm and rhyme. Tiera Kennedy debuted her single “I Ain’t A Cowgirl.” In her song, Tiera is vulnerable with listeners about stepping out of her element to saddle her emotions and wrangle in her happiness after experiencing moments that made her realize she needed to put on her big girl cowgirl boots and go for her desires. Tems released her latest single, “Love Me JeJe”. The song is an up-tempo love song that makes you want to dote on and dance with your lover.
