“Jealous” is performed by Ella Mai and Kiana Ledé

“Jealous” is performed by Ella Mai and Kiana Ledé

Kiana Ledé new single was released on Monday (April 3). The track is produced by VRon, who also produces Ella Mai’s latest effort “Jealous.” From what the title might indicate, both artists are revealing their insecurities about a relationship that isn’t monogamous on the track.

Kiana Ledé released her debut studio album, KIKI, back in the summer of 2020, which features 17 songs, including contributions from artists such as Moneybagg Yo, Lucky Daye, Ari Lennox, 6LACK, Col3trane, BIA, and Arin Ray. Within a couple months after KIKI was first released, fans would receive a deluxe edition, which contained seven new recordings and collaborations alongside Jacquees, Ant Clemons, and Gary Clark, Jr.

In one of her previous interviews, Kiana Ledé talked about growing up and how she built her career as a musician since she was a child.

“I am still young, so there is a lot to learn and a lot of opinions out there,” Kiana Ledé explained. “With the help of a big management team, myself, my producers, as well as a label, there are many individuals who are involved in the music industry, which is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. It makes me feel really blessed that everyone cares about what I am doing, but it makes me feel very scared too, as I want to sort through all the information… I think it is becoming a little easier now to sort through all the information. The best way to describe me is that I’m stubborn when it comes to my career, but in the best way possible.”

Lil Tjay is recruited by Morray for his new video “High Price”

With his first release of 2023, Morray returns with his first release of the year and enlists Lil Tjay for the assist on the track. This introspective song titled “High Price” shares with the listener moments of reflection that the North Carolina native learned through the journey to the top of the music industry. In his verse, Meek, whose lyrics deal with chasing goals in order to achieve success, mentions Philly rapper Meek Mill when he raps:

Morray continued to stay connected with his fans throughout the year of 2022 through the release of singles such as the Southside-produced “Broken Vows,” and “Da Rant” and “Momma’s Love,” “Ticket,” “Still Here” in collaboration with Cordae. As well as contributing to the vocals to his own releases, Morray has also appeared on countless recent tracks such as “All Them Days” featuring Derez De’Shon, “Real S**t” featuring OMB Peezy, “TAIL LIGHTS” featuring Macklemore, and “Long The Way” featuring Jetson, which was featured on the Dreamville-curated soundtrack to Creed III.

It was April 2021, when the “Dreamland” artist released his last album, Street Sermons, which featured 13 tracks, including his breakout single, “Quicksand.” Later that year, he joined Toosii, 42 Dugg, Pooh Shiesty, Flo Milli, Coi Leray, and Blxst as a member of the XXL Freshman Class. As part of his career achievements, he attended his first Grammy Awards in early 2022, where he was nominated for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for his appearance on J. Cole “m y l i f e”  alongside 21 Savage.

“Nights Uptown” freestyle by Krept

“Nights Uptown” freestyle by Krept

I am pleased to announce that Krept blessed the masses with a brand-new track earlier this month (March 16), “Nights Uptown,” a Swan Sounds production featuring the South London rapper rapping about the hardships of life on the streets, the music industry, and the losses Krept has endured over the course of his career, was produced by Swan Sounds.

It’s not surprising that Krept & Konan are releasing their sophomore LP, Revenge Is Sweet, in 2019 as nearly all the major artists on the album are featured, including the late Cadet, Headie One, Stormzy, K-Trap, Wizkid, D-Block Europe, MoStack, and more. As a result, the album reached number five on the Official Albums chart and received a silver certification for its work. As from then on, the South London duo has kept their fans occupied with a number of releases including their No More Social Distancing EP as well as loose drops and collaborations such as “Trials and Tribulations” by Yungen, “Self-Obsessed,” “Who Wanna” with K-Trap “However Do You Want It” by Swarmz, “Pisces” by Russ Millions, and “Greazy” by Da Beatfreakz. Furthermore, they also represented their country along with S1lva, M1llionz, and Morrisson for the official UEFA Euro 2020 anthem, “Olé (We Are England).”

“Let Me Go” visuals shared by Daniel Caesar

“Let Me Go” visuals shared by Daniel Caesar

On April 7, Daniel Caesar will be releasing his much-anticipated debut album NEVER ENOUGH to the public. Fans have already had the opportunity to enjoy strong previews, such as the songs produced by Raphael Saadiq and Sir Dylan, “Let Me Go” and “Do You Like Me?.” As a result, the Canadian R&B savant returned today (March 15) to present the music video for the song it is currently featured in. There was recently a new clip released of Daniel Caesar running through a field symbolically never-ending, which was shot by Midman. There is a subtext in the song that croons about the tug-of-war that occurs between two lovers when they try to resolve matters:

Among the artists on Daniel Caesar’s last full-length release was 2019’s Case Study 01, which contained ten songs that included contributions from artists like Brandy, Jacob Collier, Pharrell Williams, and John Mayer. In 2017, he made landfall with his album Freudian, which had a number of major hits including “Best Part” with H.E.R. and “Get You” with Kali Uchis. He has also been involved in some of the most recent collaborations that have emerged in the music industry, including “careless” with FKA twigs, “Peaches” with Justin Bieber alongside Giveon and “Invincible” with Omar Apollo.

The “Japanese Denim” singer Daniel Caesar seems to have already hinted at what fans can expect from his next chapter in his career in a previous Instagram post, which hinted at the direction his career is headed. “Hi there, world. In spite of the fact that I was born a few minutes ago, I am already learning,” he claimed. “We are not supposed to consider this a new beginning, but just a long way from where we were before. I see a lot of myself in almost all of you, and I find it very reassuring. I look in the mirror. As there are so many things to discuss, you will be surprised to learn how close we are. For the time being, let us simply refer to this as the beginning.”

BlocBoy JB drops off new visual for “MURSIC”

BlocBoy JB drops off new visual for “MURSIC”

It’s been a couple of days since BlocBoy JB tipped off his new song titled “MURSIC,” which is obviously a nod to the rapper’s deep Memphis accent, which frequently appears on his tracks. The Karey Muney-produced record is full of hard-hitting rhymes that take aim at BlocBoy JB’s high-end lifestyle and his street connections:

“The video for “MURSIC” comes in the form of a matching visual produced by Spizzberg and Faceoff Visuals as part of a matching project. There is a scene in the clip where he appears with his crew at a desert location, where they have a brightly colored Corvette and a couple of four-wheelers with them. This video features clips from old western movies woven throughout, echoing Muney’s nostalgic production in which old Western films are interspersed with footage from modern films.

He now appears to be aligned with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group. BlocBoy JB first made his mark in the music industry with Drake’s collaboration “Look Alive” in 2018. As he previously mentioned in a past interview, he has high expectations for how the song will be perceived post-release:

“After it was released for the first time, they asked me, ‘How many views do you think it’s going to get in a day?’ I answered, ‘Uh, 100,000.’ That thing blew up like crazy. While I know it’s a banger, it’s not always the case that you get the most out of things the first time around. Whenever it happens, you think to yourself, “Damn, this really happened.” The problem with my mind is that it always takes me to places I have no expectations.”

Also talking about his experience in collaborating with 21 Savage for a hit record called “Rover 2.0,” he shared some of his thoughts about the experience:

As I wrote Rover, I was sitting in the back of a truck when I first started writing it. It is not a Rover, but an Explorer… I am confident that this is an extremely difficult song. In other words, if I am unable to stop listening to a song, then I have discovered something, since I am quick to move on to the next song.”
