It’s a Yalee world and this isn’t the “Yalee” we thought we knew. Dropping his new album 1V1(You VS. The World) it’s safe to say Yalee is back and here to stay. Known for his hit single “Pretty Girl Dance” and the remix “Pretty Girl Dance Pt.2” featuring New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap, the Ohio raised R&B/HipHop artist has the industry in a frenzy. Yalee took his album to the next level making it not only easy listening to the ears, but creating a visual to the mind.
“RIP to Junior, RIP XXX, RIP to Nipsey. Damn who’s next?”-Yalee
Nipsey Hussle, Junior Guzman, the young 15 year old boy who was brutally stabbed in the Bronx by gang members, and XXXtencion’s murders all have one thing in common, their deaths hit different. The single “Momma Sorrows” which pays homage to the young lives taken before their time features Yalee’s mother, who is a phenomenal Gospel singer. The movie aired today, Thursday October 24th and when I tell you I cried, I mean I cried. I called it a movie because that’s exactly what I thought I was watching. This wasn’t your average music video with bling, fancy cars, or strippers, this was a video that told a story, a video that portrayed the hardship of losing someone you love sooner than expected. It was a message to start showing how much you care for a person while their alive rather than when their six feet under. The young soon-to-be legend’s song hit and it hit hard.
When asking him what inspired the song he replied, “I wanted to put my mother on a song with me, she’s been asking and with everything going on in the world I felt like this was the moment to really shine light on Mothers, the women who have carried us for 9 months and the ones that have to deal with the passing of their children.” Now living in New York City, Yalee continued to say how the late rappers, and young teens death really took a toll on him and wanted to start putting out music to inspire the youth, rather than corrupt their minds. The younger generation is all we have, nowadays music is mostly about drugs, gangs, and how you should be acting instead of simply being yourself. “Momma Sorrows” is an anthem, a battle cry for change before it’s too late.
We can’t wait for the next single. Go gettem’ Yalee!
Have ya’ll seen the new OnlyJahmez music video to his latest single “StrawberryShortcake“? If you’re anywhere on social media as much as the rest of the world then chances are you have. After it’s official premiere on BET Jams, the 22 year old hitmaker dropped the official music video on his Instagram page and it has been doing numbers!
Shortly after, it didn’t take long for the twerk videos to come rolling in and snatching everyone’s attention. What’s everyone listening to? What’s the hottest song right now? StrawberryShortcake from the one and OnlyJahmez. This record is unbelievable, and now you can finally stream it exclusively on Spotify.
It looks like Jahmez and Team ONLY are setting sail for an immaculate fall with this one. Not only do they have the East Coast high schools on lock, but the universities too. Ask about it – ain’t nothing heavier than this Shortcake banger right here.
With OnlyJahmez album release right around the corner, turn up to his newly- released single titled “StrawberryShortcake“, exclusively on Spotify below. Although Jersey is a hard place to break out of, I’ve been hearing this guy’s name everywhere. It’s only a matter of time until he’s signed to some of the biggest record labels in the world. F*ck what a hater got to say, keep doing your thing Jah!
Lana Del Rey has been teasing her upcoming album for quite some time now. In a concert in Spain in July, she said the record was “coming out next month”. On Instagram, Lana Del Rey confirmed that Norman Fucking Rockwell will be coming out August 30th. In the post, we can also see the cover art, with the track list beside it.
The LP is produced by Jack Antonoff, who worked on Kevin Abstract’s ARIZONA BABY and Taylor Swift’s “The Archer”. We’ll see how much Norman Fucking Rockwell resembles those productions.
Lana Del Rey has already shared some songs that will appear on the upcoming release. These include “Venice Bitch,” “Mariners Apartment Complex,” “Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have – But I Have it,” and a cover of Sublime’s “Doin’ Time”.
Let us know your thoughts on Norman Fucking Rockwell in the comments.
On Monday, it was announced that Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” has broken the record for most consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Top 100 charts. The official count is 17 weeks with previous songs, “Despacito” and “One Sweet Day”, holding the record at 16 weeks.
I never liked this song and now I like it even less. The song is annoying, repetitive and frankly I never chose to listen to it on my own. But to be fair, any song that is going to be number 1 on the charts for that long is going to be considered overplayed by anyone. That doesn’t mean that each song that does that are equally worthy.
Billboard Hot 100: #1(=) Old Town Road, @LilNasX & @billyraycyrus [21 weeks]. *record breaking seventeenth week at #1*
Blueface recently kicked his two girlfriends out, even after the two got matching tattoos. This may seem cruel, it is understandable when one of them said on her Instagram stories that they were only with Blueface for the clout and money.
The rapper discussed the matter in his recent interview with The Breakfast Club. He said that even if they joke about being with him for the wrong reasons, that’s enough of a reason to break off the relationship.
I find it interesting how Blueface is so quick to judge his girlfriend’s motives when he literally has two girlfriends. It’s not like he is being super faithful either. But then again, I get why he did what he did and wish him luck in finding others who will appreciate him for his person rather than his money and reputation.
Travis Scott has just released a music video for “Wake Up”, a song off his latest album Astroworld.
Directed by Jonah Hill, the video is in black and white and follows Travis as he walks through a large house that is littered with bodies. Things progress and eventually he is floating in the sky.
This is Travis Scott’s fifth music video for Astroworld-related songs and Complex thinks this will be the last. There is no news about a follow-up album as we head into the second half of the year.
In my opinion, the video is great but it is brought down by the song, which is far from my favorite off the album. Even a good music video can’t make up for a lackluster song.
