There is just a few days left until Christmas. Sevyn Streeter and many artists are sending out holiday songs and projects to help get people into the holiday spirit by sharing their holiday music. In an effort to get in on the holiday spirit, Sevyn Streeter was kind enough to unveil her take on Nat King Cole’s beloved classic from years ago, “The Christmas Song.” While the songstress delivers the lyrics to the original tune, she adds her own special twist to the instrumental to make it her own:
There was an album by Sevyn Streeter named Drunken Wordz Sober Thoughtz that was released back in 2021. There were 15 tracks on the EP, as well as appearances by names such as BIA, Dominic Scott, A$AP Ferg, Chris Brown, and Lucky Daye. Then, a short while after, she released a deluxe version of her album, which added five new tracks to the original album.
It was my pleasure to catch up with the singer of “Before I Do” who was in attendance at the 2022 Summit x AT&T last month, during which she shared her most valuable advice for the aspiring artists who attend events such as these. “Be who you are. Enjoy your time. Don’t confine yourself to a single type of thinking,” she said to me. As far as I’m concerned, this is the most significant piece of advice that I would give an aspiring artist at this time. An idea is always a sign that you have a purpose for creating it. Don’t let anyone stop you from being creative, and do not let anything stop you from creating.”

There has been no shortage of tracks released by Jay Critch in 2022, as the rapper has been consistently serving fans with a steady stream of loose favorites, including “Sade,” “Close To Me / Active,” “Anyday,” “Lefty,” “At My Worst” that features Rich The Kid, as well as the most recent, “Up All Night.” On the weekend, Jay Critch added to his growing list with the release of his latest drop, “Cheating (Freestyle).” Over a bass-driven instrumental, he raps about staying real, no matter what:
Last year, “Dreams In A Wraith” rapper Fivio Foreign released Critch Tape, a 23-track LP featuring Lil Tjay, Fivio Foreign, and Drakeo The Ruler. He has consistently maintained his fan base with a number of releases over the past few years, which include “Click It,” “Spin No Blocks,” “Stamped,” “Deadline” that features Prince Swanny, “Gifted,” as well as his collaborative effort with Harry Fraud, “Born With It.”
Jay Critch revealed in a recent interview that he is a man of many words. However, he is one of the most valuable and reliable people to get advice from, regardless of where they come from in their career. “When it comes to Fab, I consider him my big brother,” he explained. “I will follow Fab and French Montana’s example when I become an OG in the game. They both get along well with young artists. They show love to young artists and they’re always there to be a big brother in this. The moment I met Fab, he showed me love, and I always appreciated that. Basically, what I have learned from them has been how to move in and out of s**t.”

It has been a hectic weekend for Monaleo since she returned with her latest offering, the powerful ballad “Miss U Already.” This powerful new track finds the Houston native addressing loss, grief stages, and mental health issues through her lyrics. As part of the release, Monaleo has teamed up with John Tashiro to direct a performance video featuring a choir that she personally hand-picked. There are some soulful lyrics that she delivers on the track, as she pays homage to those who have been in her life but are no longer with her in this world:
“A few months ago, Monaleo opened up my recording studio and invited my followers to record and sing with me, which is how the song “Miss U Already” came to be,” she wrote on her Instagram account about how the song ended up together. “From all the submissions I received, I scoured through them and selected the nine that you see standing behind me. They came to the studio, mastered the song very quickly, and amazed me with their voices.”
A viral single by Monaleo called “We Not Humping” made waves at the beginning of this year. In the months that followed, she contacted Flo Milli to perform the song’s official remix. A number of singles from the “First Draft Pick” rapper have been released throughout 2021, allowing fans to enjoy them including “Girls Outside,” “Suck It Up,” “Lock It Down,” “Draft Pick” with DJ Chose, along with one of her most heard singles, “Beating Down Yo Block.”

Chlöe released the sultry track “Surprise” in June. The song was written and produced by iLLA and Scott Storch. The singer released a live acoustic performance of the song on VEVO yesterday (Dec. 7), following up on her previous performance of “For The Night.” A sole guitarist assists in the freshly recorded rendition, which sees the Georgia-born songstress express her passion for an intimate night with her lover:
Since the beginning of the year, Chlöe has delivered a number of strong productions, including “Treat Me,” “For The Night,” and “Freak Like Me.” In September of this year, she released her first solo single, “Have Mercy,” a powerful track that she worked on alongside FNZ, BoogzDaBeast, Joseph L’Étranger, and Murda Beatz. Ungodly Hour is her second album with her younger sister Halle. It was her last full-length album before this one, and it is her last work to date. It was a 13-track project featuring contributions from such artists as Swae Lee and Mike WiLL make-It among others.
In a recent interview with ET, Chlöe spoke up about how critical comments can sometimes irritate her. However, she also works hard to make sure she doesn’t let them affect the quality of her work. “Being in this position is a weird experience, because as a human being it hurts when we hear certain things. In the same breath, it’s my job to do this,” she said. “So, it’s really up to me to set boundaries for myself in my mental state.”
