Thicke wowed audiences around the country with his performance of “Lucky Star,” the album opener and a “vibrant breath of fresh air” (Soul In Stereo). Sitting down digitally with Clarkson, the two discussed Thicke’s nearly seven-year journey to this new music, as well as the vision supporting many of his songs, fatherhood, and the insane bank robbery that inspired “Oh Shooter” from A Beautiful World.

“Ultimately, On Earth, and in Heaven showcases us the same Robin Thicke that we’ve always known, but with an extra level of caring—care for his craft, care for his public persona, care for his family and the things that he’s defined as important to him,” writes American Songwriter of the new music.

Tidal, the music streaming service started by Jay-Z, has been purchased by Twitter, the payments firm, of which CEO Jack Dorsey is a significant investor. Tidal co-owner Jay-Z took a 33% stake in the company and will now be a member of the board of directors. He better gets some time off the clock if he’s inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was said that artists would be “empowered” by this agreement. This contract is designed to support artists and help the industry as a whole. As he has said in other tweets, it’s a big deal for many people; the fact that Jack and I have discussed TID’s possibilities only serves to make me more optimistic about its future. This universal desire makes me all the more eager to be a part of the Square board.
While the concept was uncomplicated, it took a long time to put together; Dorsey claims the project actually started when he stumbled upon new ways for artists to fund their own endeavors. “With what we’ve been able to do for the cash-for-transaction vendors, we also feel we can help the artists we represent now,” he noted We’re going to start with the small and concentrate on the most essential fan bases. Dorsey also stated that Jay-Z will serve on the advisory board, which will span the company’s entirety, not just Tidal. And as well as Tidal’s “celebrity and creative spirit,” such as songs like Drake’s “Started From the Bottom” and Puff Daddy’s “Come Fly With Me,” we’re all included in his public social media posts on the same day.
Tidal confirms that rapper Jay-Z and other artists, including Rihanna and Kanye West, purchased it as an artist-owned streaming service in 2015. Per Forbes, Jay-Z had previously sold a third of the company to T-Mobile; last week, he re-bought the shares he had once sold to Sprint, now taking control of the company. Dorsey and Jay-Z first discussed the acquisition of Tidal with the press a few months ago.

Impressive streaming figures from over a hundred million plays attest to the legitimacy of Sacramento, California, rapper and RUNWAY CHALLENGE queen Stunna Girl’s claim that she is an elite MC who commands respect in the industry. Her latest mixtape, “Stunna This, Stunna That,” is available for download today.
In the preceding weeks, she set the stage for the project’s arrival with the lead single and the first track on the album, “Still Smoke,” which she freestyled in the studio. Before moving on to a new album, we decided to sample the Axel Foley classic song. She shredded through the REEFA produced beat, with teeth bared and powerful verses. It also reached #11 on Spotify’s premier hip-hop playlist, “Rap Caviar,” in addition to ranking in the top ten across all streaming platforms. While this song solidifies Rihanna’s position as one of the newest waves of fire female rappers, the story suggested that she had already lost that battle to Tyga and Rae Sremmurd’s former singer (Kid Zucc).

Dremon a young artist from the Wild West, captures an oasis vibe with his captivating music, catchy hooks, memorable choruses, and smooth, flowing verses. Dremon can fit into any playlist without feeling out of place. The versatility of his music solidifies his position in the music industry. Dremon is a Hip-Hop Artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico. His 2012 album, Great Escape, street LP, earned him a rising name, leading him to a meeting with Jimmy Kang, CEO of Str8up Ent and VP of Wu-Tang Management, and eventually three years under their management.
The route from there gave great valuable lessons and means to what Dremon would choose for a career. While pushing his album, The Music, he acquired more exposure with performances and networking with established artists and film cross-over in, “Money Is King,” (Freeway Rick Ross, Jadakiss, Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister) in the feature film, Busy Day. The album began receiving rotation on local/ internet radio stations, with attention as a first-round winner of the Swisher Artist Project/ Grant 2016, scoring several soundtrack/placements/Reviews for the movie The Perfect Pickup; 2017’s XXL 20th anniversary edition, First Hip-Hop artist interviewed by ABQ The Magazine, Weekly Alibi, A&R Factory, The Colt Show, and placements for his single, “Gravity,” produced by Mike Cee more. By the end of 2019, Dremon was well on his way to the top, receiving over 150,000 streams for his song, “Beneficial,” with an artistic visual to stand out.
With an amazing outbreak starting up with “Gravity,” premiering on Shade 45 and HBCU College stations, the stage was set for success with the “Feel the Culture” 2020 Tour. This Wild West artist was moving with promise but with a world pandemic of Covid-19 land sliding the world, all concert/tours or major events throughout the world were postponed/rescheduled or canceled, thus pushing his new album, 2nd Nature, later into the year. This is a moment where most of the world was locked down, but it wouldn’t stop there for him. After catching attention with the release of his Neon Tokyo 90s animated music video, “No Exaggeration,” the optimistic artist found himself with press runs and the Jumping On Tour, keeping things up to momentum. With new singles “Say Less,” “Do It for Me,” and his album 2nd Nature still on the float, it’s safe to say Dremon will not stop.
Concepts reign strong in Dre’s visuals so it is rare to see him just post up and rap. With in almost every visual I’ve watched there is a story line to follow which shows a higher level of creativity. His visual shot in Las Vegas by RomeYaFavoriteRapper from Philadelphia, brought a story line and unique vision to add to Dre’s catalog. The concept of “Wax” was very easy to follow as the young king enjoys a day and night out in Sin City, he is followed by an attractive but unwarranted guest. Tune into “Wax” below by Dremon!
One of the most consistent artists in the industry is none other than NBA Youngboy. He has released four albums, 17 mixtapes, three EPs as well as a plethora of music videos. Now, he has collaborated with Rich The Kid to release a project titled Nobody Safe. They have also released ‘Automatic’ before releasing their album. This is Rich’s second project this year, as he dropped Bossman in March. On the other hand, this makes Youngboy’s fifth project in 2020.
