Sevyn Streeter, one of Chris Brown‘s newest talented artists on his CBE label, is proving to the masses that her pipes are worthy to be listened to.  She covered the late Aaliyah‘s "Come Over."  So decide inside if you’re loving it…

This 26-year-old Florida native isn’t new to the music scene, but she is new to the solo scene.  Now that she’s making her solo debut after her time in the group RichGirl, Sevyn’s proving why she’s a fresh face we’ve gotta watch.

Since Aaliyah was one of her biggest musical inspirations growing up, Sevyn recently recorded a cover for the late singer’s song "Come Over."

While recently out on a promo tour, Sevyn made a trip to Aaliyah’s high school in Detroit and saw how much impact one artist can have on generations to come.  So she penned an open letter to Aaliyah (which she posted on her site) about how big of an inspiration the singer was to her.  She said in part:

"You made us feel comfortable in our own skin…we feel just as comfortable in our sweats and sneakers as we do in our jeans and heel….Putting in the Dr. Doolittle soundtrack–and learning the choreography to "Are You That Somebody" on the porch….That’s what you did.  You made us all feel like we were good enough to be you.”

 

Check out the rest over on her website and a pic below:

With his latest track, “BIG SACK,” recently released and produced by the skilled Joe Peoples, BIG 4.1 delivers not just a song, but a mantra for financial empowerment and self-improvement. In a world obsessed with flaunting bags, BIG 4.1’s message cuts through the noise, urging listeners to focus on filling their “BIG SACK” with tangible wealth rather than mere appearances.

In an exclusive statement, BIG 4.1 explains his motivation: “It’s that time, it’s right on time for what’s going on and to teach our culture to save up that BIG SACK start at 20. By the time you’re 40 you can retire yourself if you do it right.” With lyrics that resonate beyond the beats, BIG 4.1 aims to spark a movement towards financial literacy and empowerment.

As BIG 4.1 gears up for his show in Anderson, South Carolina, alongside his team, the BOONDOCK KINGS, his mixtape “ME VS ME BAR-4-BAR THE MIXTAPE Vol 1” sets the stage for a musical revolution.
