R&B crooner John Legend has released a new love ballad from his forthcoming Love In The Future album (June 25th). The single features production by Da Internz, Kanye West, Dave Tozer and Nana Kwabena.  During an interview with Billboard, John talked about the album saying,

"Over the years, I’ve been in a comfort zone with Kanye and Dave, and we’ve had great collaborations. But this album also offers some fresh collaborations. And together that typifies the sound of this album. ‘Love in the Future’ has the feel of my first two albums but takes that sound forward."

Maybe he got some inspiration from all the wedding planning he and fiancee Chrissy Teigen have been doing.  Listen to "Made To Love" below:

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.

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.

Published

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.
