What's Good Y'all?! When I think of my favorite R&B artists, I'm often surprised by how many are from the UK: Nao, Craig David, Amy Winehouse, and even The Beatles—because, come on. So I was excited to discover Nippa, a new crooner from Tottenham, London. At just 22 years old, Nippa has already toured with Blxst, Craig David, and TS5, so he's not entirely new to the scene, but he's still charting his path. His debut album, Homegrown, introduces us to this young talent. Homegr

What’s Good Y’all?! Happy spooky season! WOW, this year has flown by, right? Friends, I have a confession, and I’m deeply disappointed in myself for the way I picked this week's feature. I started out passing on this album a few times because I wasn’t feeling the cover of the album—ridiculous, right? I am a big cover art girlie!

What’s Good Y’all! As September slowly comes to an end, I want to end the month off with an artist you DEFINITELY need to look out for! While searching for new music, I came across Lynn The Bad Guy's "On The Radar" freestyle on my feed. Her presence caught my attention. It showed innocence and youthfulness. I wondered, “What do her voice and bars sound like?” but most importantly, who is this new artist and where did she come from? Lynn the bad guy is now based in Austin, TX,

What’s Good Y’all?! As fall swiftly approaches, I feel like my next feature matches the vibes of new beginnings. SZN4 is up next, and I mean that quite literally. If you tuned in to Season 1 of Building the Band, this quartet may not be new to you; for me, though, I'm just getting a glimpse of the blues-embedded sound and soulful voices of SZN4. ​ Aaliyah Rose, Cameron Goode, Donzell Taggart, and Katie Roeder were among the favorite groups on Building the Band; in fact, they

Released on August 28, 2026, this eight-track EP dives into the complexities of young love, from self-discovery to heartbreak.
