In February 2021, Eric Bellinger and Hitmaka collaborated together for their joint project 1-800-Hit-Eazy, which was a 14-track album of original material that featured features from Chrishan, Rahky, and a number of other artists. It has been a pleasure to experience the accompanying visuals for plenty of tracks from the album since it was released, including tracks such as “Hypebeast,” “Star Projectors,” “Serious,” and “Only You.”
The two recently announced that as the two-year anniversary of the release of their LP approaches, a sequel is finally on its way. With the single “BNB” released last month, fans have already sampled 1-800-Hit-Eazy: Line 2’s sound. The album lands on Feb. 10. It has been announced that a new song from this duo, “Decide,” is out. Co-produced by Keyz and Hitmaka, the song is about offering an ultimatum to your partner: “You have to decide.”
It must be noted that Eric Bellinger released his last full-length solo album in the year 2021, a well-received offering that included guest appearances from Teedra Moses, Kierra Sheard, Dom Kennedy, Brandy, The Game, and Sevyn Streeter. In the months that followed, he earned a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Progressive R&B Album for that project which later on earned him a Grammy. Additionally, he made his television debut in 2021 with an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
It was explained by the singer Eric Bellinger in a recent interview that it was quite a transition to move from being a songwriter to being a solo artist. This is after spending most of her career as a songwriter. “When it comes to those people who are used to you as a songwriter, the first thing they say is, ‘Man, I’m sure Chris Brown would make that sound crazy if he made it’. It would be amazing if Usher was to cut it, wouldn’t it? ” He asked. “In the same way that you had to work your way up to the top to become a songwriter, you have to stay resilient.”

As you may recall, K Camp shared the most recent work he has been working on, Vibe Forever, back in August. The well-received album included several appearances from Doe Boy and Ne-Yo across a total of 12 songs, all of which were well received. Keeping up with the pace, Atlanta native Adam Levine dropped another offering for his upcoming album yesterday, releasing the official music video for his song “If These Walls Could Talk.” In the music video, which was directed by Andrew Percival, fans get a glimpse of a love affair between two lovers during an intimate night. In the song, K Camp talks about knowing the value he can bring to the table when he raps:
A full-length album called FLOAT was released back in the year 2021, followed by Vibe Forever. Among the artists who graced that project were Trey Songz, Mooski, and the late PnB Rock, who appeared on the Ginuwine-sampling “Life Has Changed” single that was the second single to make its debut on that project. In the past, he wrote Kiss 5, the last chapter of the fan-favorite series he started writing in 2013 that he continued to write over the years. Several months later, he returned to the project and dropped the official deluxe version of the album. This version added six more tracks and a new feature that was performed by Sevyn Streeter.
During a recent interview with a national journalist, K Camp the music video artist for “Lottery” shared the best part of being an independent artist with us. According to him, ownership means “you own it.” It means more paper. “I’m able to do all the things I want to do because I’m more creative.” In other words, I’m able to be as free with my art as I like. In other words, it means I will drop when I am ready to drop. Having the ability to drop in real time is absolutely crucial nowadays.”

There was no doubt I would do a cover of SZA’s track ‘Snooze’ from her upcoming album SOS, as this is the track that I co-produced with her.

Make sure that you take a moment to stream my new single ‘Breaking Point’ on Spotify if you caught the vibe,” Thomas wrote on the social media site Instagram.
