Rapper J. Cole talked to The Breakfast Club this morning where he promoted the release of his sophmore album Born Sinner. During the interview, the rapper revealed that he had very few reservations about putting his album out the same week as Kanye West’s Yeezus disc. He also talk about writing his radio hit "Crooked Smile" featuring TLC.

"I basically had the concept for the song which is talking about my grill. It was about flipping it and getting people to embrace their flaws. So when I finally got the hook of the song, it reminded me of something TLC would sing because they had monster hits with positive songs."

Watch the interview here:

Fans of J. Cole will be able to see the "Power Trip" rapper in NYC tonight with his "Dollar & A Dream" Tour.

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.

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.
