Chris Brown is slated to unveil his highly anticipated album Breezy on June 24. R&B veteran Chris Brown recently gave fans a few new previews from his forthcoming album, including “Wheels Fall Off” and “Call Me Everyday” with Wizkid. Brown is back with his latest music video for “WE (Warm Embrace),” a Don City-produced track originally released in April. As he dances the night away with Normani, Brown introduces Normani as his love interest in the video:
Brown recently spoke with Big Boy about Breezy for Big BoyTV and revealed that he had recorded more than 250 tracks for the album. Brown said, “I have so many tracks. According to Brown, I had almost 250 songs for the actual project. “Yes, I was thinking, We need to scale it down and figure out what we can do.”
Earlier this year, Chris Brown released his last solo album, Indigo. It featured 33 cuts and collaborations with artists such as Lil Jon, H.E.R., Juvenile, Tyga, Juicy J, Nicki Minaj, Drake, G-Eazy, Justin Bieber, Gunna, and more. Following the release of Indigo, Brown returned with an extended edition featuring an additional 10 tracks and contributions from Davido, Rich The Kid, and DaniLeigh. This critically acclaimed and commercially successful album topped the Billboard 200 and reached Platinum status thanks to 108,000 first-week equivalent albums sold.
It is always stimulating to see new rappers rise to fame from the bottom up, especially when it is a woman who has made her mark. There is no doubt that the south has produced some high quality talent over the past few decades. Rap, in particular, enjoys great success and legacy throughout the south, especially in Texas. Rising stars such as Erica Banks are bound to hold household names in the near future because of their ability and work ethic. It’s still pretty early in the game for Ms. DeSoto, but she is definitely making a mark on the game right now. Diary Of a Flow Queen, the debut studio album from Erica Banks, is out today (June 17).
Despite the sluggish start to the year, music in general has been doing well this year, and Erica Banks has certainly contributed at a fabulous pace. The DeSoto rapper’s hit single “Bust It” came fresh from her tour and set the tone for all of the great things she will be able to give to us in the days ahead. Diary Of a Flow Queen is a manifesto of the artist’s ascendance to the top and a clear demonstration that she is here to stay.
In an interview with HotNewHipHop, Banks discussed how surprised she was to hear that DaBaby wanted her to sign to his Billion Dollar Baby label after just a year of rapping: “I just wasn’t expecting it to happen so fast.” I had just started rapping a year before, and then he reached out to me, although it wasn’t very recently. However, I was overwhelmed. When you have people offering different goods in different locations, you’re left wondering, “Where should I go?” I simply go with my intuition.
With assists from Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y, Guapdad 4000 assembles a dream team for a new music video, “Pose.” Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y contribute as well to the production, making for a feel-good video that showcases the charm of each rapper. With the upcoming single, Wiz Khalifa puts the spotlight on some production work by Drew Banga:
He has blessed his fan base all year with a steady stream of new releases. You can listen to recent releases like “Cheap,” “Fearless,” “Black Iverson” and “Ruthless.”
Khlifa has been working on a collection of collaboration albums since April, including Full Court Press, which he recorded with Smoke DZA, Big K.R.I.T., and Girl Talk. His previous album was dominated by fan favorites “How The Story Goes,” “Put You On,” and “Ain’t No Fun”. Earlier this month, Curren$y released his new album Spring Clean 2, which was produced entirely by Fuse from 808 Mafia.
Today (June 10), Kid Cudi launches a new chapter in his career which begins with the release of his new song, “Do What I Want.” The release of the new song is the start of udi’s forthcoming Netflix series, “Entergalactic.” The series is something udi and his team have been working hard on for a while now. The track features Cudi’s signature flow fans are all familiar with and love:
An annotation on the Genius website indicates that Cudi released “Do What I Want” on April 16, 2020 during an Instagram Live. In addition to performing the track at The Smoker’s Club Festival, he also performed an older version of the track.
Kid Cudi accompanied the track’s release with a caption filled with gratitude that will be sure to get fans pumped up for the album release. Throughout this period of time, he has been working on something that he has been waiting to share with the rest of you. He called it “my greatest achievement.” You will be moved, taken places in your heart, and fall in love all over again after watching it. “I am incredibly proud of everybody involved in helping bring my vision to life.”
French Montana fans can rejoice. This week, Bronx rapper Harry Fraud announced that he and he will once again join forces on an album titled Montega. The album will arrive on June 24. Fans can get a first look at French’s upcoming project today (June 10) via a new song called “Drive By,” which features Detroiter Babyface Ray. In essence, both artists have no problem letting their listeners know how much they have won to date:
French Montana’s single “Drive By” follows closely on the heels of his previous single “Alcatraz,” another hard-hitting record that is slated to appear on his fifth studio album Mac & Cheese. It came two years after he released his fourth studio album, They Got Amnesia, which featured guest appearances from Doja Cat, Kodak Black, Rick Ross, Pop Smoke, Lil Durk, Saweetie, Fabolous, Fivio Foreign, John Legend, and more.
As a featured artist, French Montana continues to maintain his position as one of hip hop’s hottest commodities outside of his own work. Additionally to his involvement in National Champions (“If I Go Down”), French has been featured on songs such as El Alfa “Máquina de Dinero,” AB “Pit Not the Palace (Remix),” DreamDoll “Ice Cream Dream,” and Skillibeng “Whap Whap (Remix).” Given French’s track record, it’s a safe bet that many of these artists will return the favor with his upcoming release.
