Inside the 25th issue, which also features articles on "Single Ladies" star Denise Vasi and funnywoman Tiffany Haddish, French Montana discusses her rap influences, whom he’d like to work with and how he created his debut album, Excuse My French.  Here are the highlights:

On collaborations he would like to pursue:

“I would say my dream collab would probably be something with Tupac . He was my favorite artist and I grew up listening to him. I have a lot of respect for the work he did, and it would be an honor to be on a track with him.”

Where he finds inspiration for his signature rap:

“I get inspiration from everybody: artists like Adele, Cold Play. I would love to work with them and give the fans a little something different. I always wanna outdo myself and change it up. I think collaborations with artists like that would be a great look.”

Describing the types of music he enjoys:

“I listen to everything; all types of music all the time. Not heavy metal though.”

On surviving the industry:

You need to know how to help yourself by yourself because sometimes there won’t be people there to lean on. You have to hold yourself up when nobody else can.”

Describing his debut album Excuse My French:

It’s just a lifestyle. It’s the life that I live every day. One day I might wake up in a bad mood and make a song about that. One day I might be with a lady and make a song on that; I’ll be in a good mood and write about that. The album is just all the different emotions I go through on a daily basis.”

 

The French Montana issue of BLEU hits newsstands June 15th.

Published

on

Ottawa’s Taz returns with a new single “Fall 4 You” produced by Denysxw_beats. The video was shot in Miami. Fall 4 You was created, I never heard of him but when I heard the Beat , is when I just know , this is how I make most of my music . I hear a beat then I put words to the music. I recorded this song in 1 hour with a producer named Daniel “Dray” Paisly who works out of a recording studio here in Ottawa called The Cave.

When I was young I always listened to Hiphop / rap and was always listening to all kinds of artist and knew these 3 artists would make it big one day. The number one reason was their wordplay & lyricism. I like aboogie , polo G and liltjay because Their music taught me about life as a young teenager and the music speaks to me . These 3 artist always stood out to me from their melodic flow & cadence. I always dreamed that one day maybe I could be just like them.

Tierra Whack, the GRAMMY-nominated rapper and creative visionary, has once again left fans in awe with her latest video, MOOVIES. In this witty and playful visual, Tierra takes us through a series of movie dates gone terribly wrong. With each new suitor, her hopes for love are dashed, yet she persists in her quest for romance. Directed by her frequent collaborator, contemporary artist Alex Da Corte, the video blends humor and heartache in a colorful display of Tierra’s dynamic storytelling and Da Corte’s artistic flair. Following the success of her critically acclaimed debut album WORLD WIDE WHACK, this video showcases a lighter side to Tierra, as she remains optimistic despite her unlucky streak in love.

Critics and media outlets alike have showered “WORLD WIDE WHACK” with praise since its release in March. Variety described the album as “tender, fatalistic, colorful, and endearingly weird,” a combination that only an artist as unique as Tierra could pull off. Pitchfork echoed these sentiments, pointing to her “eye for surreal, captivating detail” that continues to shine through every project. Tierra has been actively performing, including a standout appearance at NPR’s Tiny Desk, which NPR called “one of the best Tiny Desks in history.” She’s also performed alongside fellow artists like Jill Scott at The Roots Picnic and made a surprise appearance at Childish Gambino’s tour stop in Philly, keeping fans engaged and excited about her every move. Stream your copy of the project here and let us know your thoughts on the official below. Keep up with Tierra Whack by following her on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube.

Fleetwood Jr Channels Life’s Struggles in New Song “Feel Me”

Published

on

Orlando native artist Fleetwood Jr dives deep into his personal journey with his latest single, “Feel Me,” released on September 28, 2024. Produced by Djstakkman, the track captures Fleetwood’s raw reflections on his life experiences, particularly his encounters with police brutality and growing up in a tough environment. For Fleetwood Jr, music is a form of therapy, allowing him to process the trauma of being exposed to police aggression as early as age six. He uses the song to voice his feelings on violence in communities, the misplaced glorification of neighborhoods, and the harsh realities of loyalty and relationships.

“Feel Me” stands out not only for its hard-hitting lyrics but also for its relatability. Fleetwood Jr crafted the track to resonate with others who share similar struggles. For him, it’s the embodiment of an underdog mentality—rising from the hardships and defying the odds. His favorite line, “N***** beefing over streets I went and bought a LLC, Kolin Kaepernick so much violence make you take a knee,” critiques the senseless street violence while offering a clever nod to self-empowerment and accountability. It’s a track that speaks to anyone who has overcome adversity while pushing for growth and resilience.

Fleetwood Jr is steadily making his mark in the industry, with several upcoming performances, including a mic session with Has1ATL and a performance in Orlando on November 23rd. He’s also preparing for the release of a music video for “Feel Me.” Having shared stages with legends like Young Dro and rising stars like Omertta, Fleetwood Jr is poised for a major breakthrough, continuing to rep his city and Da Underdawgs Ent LLC with every verse.
