Jack Diamond releases visuals for his latest single “Free Love” which features YFN Lucci with production by Kyle Junior.
Diamond delivers a relatable track regardless of gender, culture, and occupation. With images of himself in a coffin, it’s evident the old Jack Diamond is dead. He’s broken his own heart from thinking with it instead of using his brain and he’s fed folks that he should’ve let starve. The new and improved Jack Diamond, however, will make them pay, not by way of violence but through his shine and success…there’s no more free love.
The tones are smooth and soulful yet piercing enough to raise arm harms while Jack Diamond spews his lyrical oath. Watch the video for “Free Love” and get your copy below.
The story of A Muse In Her Feelings was always broken into chapters… Amusing Her Feelings is just one of the untold chapters that led to where we were on “No Good”. Thank you all for letting us do this project our own way ➗🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/DLixj5IrRc

Texas natives JLC and Judy Drama recruit Melbourne’s Dee Stakz for new single/video titled “Welcome to Da Jungle.” This fierce trio is unstoppable and on the move with nothing to lose. They can survive the jungle in all forms and come out on top of the game. The Cinematic production heightens the raw and gritty lyrics…Connect the dots while they claim their earned respect. Watch the video and get the inside scoop on “Welcome to Da Jungle” below.
MJ: Before we jump into the video, how did everyone link up, especially with Dee Stakz who resides in Melbourne?
JLC: It basically started from Instagram with Dee Stakz showing love and reached out to me with marketing questions. While I was growing and moving in the scene, I watched him grow as well. I had a track that I wanted a different sound and knew with his character and talent that it would be a hit. He came through with a verse, for the video, and the rest is history! As far as Judy, I kept her hearing her name in the scene and popping up on social media. I was drawn to her style and sway and the fact that she was also from Texas. We connected, and again the rest is history.
MJ: What was the goal with this single/video? Let us in on the process from the creative spark to the finale. Is it receiving the proper accolades you were expecting it to?
JLC: The goal was to provide fans with something they can relate to and show them they can come out as we did and to reach as many as we can! I came up with the idea as I was riding through my old hood in Fort Worth and just thinking how bad it was back in the day. I mean you had to constantly watch your back and watch who you let in your circle and it was people constantly getting robbed and set up. It’s like that now, but back in the 90’s it was three times as bad. As of now it’s nothing but good reviews and it’s just been a couple of weeks, as it spreads, we are looking forward to seeing how different crowds respond.
MJ: Was it difficult to shoot the video during a heightened period of COVID-19? Why is it important for you to continue to curate during the pandemic?
JLC: Actually, it was easy. It was kind of an in and out thing when you shoot so many videos you just do your thing and roll out, and I think I can speak on behalf of everybody on that note! I believe it was Dee Stakz’s first video, but you would never know it, he handled business! The pandemic is an opportunity for more exposure as people are watching more TV and have more of an online presence.
MJ: Talk about the chemistry between the three of you and how individual styles complemented one another.
JLC: Everybody is just down to earth and got jokes so that really makes it easy when everyone has the same goal in mind and takes their careers seriously. Our styles in my opinion with each verse is a different feel and different tone, talking about a different scenario with the same topic, and it makes it both interesting and captivating.
MJ: Take a minute to share with fans about upcoming solo or more collaborative projects.
JLC: I can’t talk about that…but we have a lot of people watching us and don’t want us, especially me, to go far in the industry. Our ideas are unique, and we must keep them secured until it’s release time.
MJ: Please take a moment to share anything else fans should be on the lookout for and how they can connect with you for updates and new music.
JLC: They can go to Amazon and read my E-Book “Hip Hop Marketing A Dirty Game” for some tips on marketing. I have some collaborations in the works and more music endeavors on the way so stay tuned.

Cleveland’s own Kid Cudi is back with the 3rd installment to Man on the Moon, and I am loving it!!! The cadence of this whole project is super dope with an outer space type of feeling. So no problems with playing this album from the beginning to the end. I hope Cudi knows that I am patiently waiting on a collab with Travis Scott…ijs!! It’s not alot of features, but the ones who are, like Skepta, Pop Smoke, Phoebe Bridgers, and Trippie Redd keeps this project LIT!! Rating 10 out of 10

I get excited anytime I hear of Fetty Wap releasing any project! For some reason, I think fans are still stuck on the Fetty from 2014, when he ahs evolved into a different man. Now I am shocked that he released a project a few months after his brother was murdered, but hey making music or just staying busy doing what you love is a form of therapy. I definitely love this project, and as always it has a super dope vibe. Fetty enlisted features with Monty and Styles P!! Rating 8 out of 10
I couldn’t wait for Jack Harlow to finally drop his first album!!!! While listening to it all I can think of is WOW….Jack is something to take serious. He already got me ready to place him above the other guy to whom others may call a “Culture Vulture”. With Jack I do not get that type of vibe from him… from the first time I ever heard of him, he’s stayed the same and very consistent. This project flows so smoothly that the cadence of this album shows that the production did a great job! With features from Lil Baby, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Adam Levine, Bryson Tiller, the deceased Static Major, and Est Gee lets you know that this album is a definite must listen!!! Shout out to Louisville, KY y’all do breed talent!!! Rating 9 out of 10
Now yall know that I already loved the album, and her adding extra songs to it only made it better!!! Mulatto added 5 additional songs to her full length album including a dope feature from Lil Baby. Rating 9 out of 10
Mannnnn, I see why it took forever for BIA to finally come out…..she is the SHIT!!! For Certain is a whole vibe of dope lyrics and beats that will definitely keep your attention from the beginning to the end! My ladies stay winning and BIA is another lady to add to the list. BIA enlisted features from Lil Jon, Lil Durk, Doe Boy and 42 Dugg. Rating 9 out of 10
People are looking at Lil Loaded with a side eye these days! Mind you he just got out of jail under the assumption for murder, and advised that he will be releasing new music once he gets out, now here you go! I see why Lil Loaded has a nice fan base, for his music is LIT! Features including Pooh Sheisty, Hotboii, and Big KayBeezy. Rating 7 out of 10
TAYLOR SWIFT – EVERMORE
I have no idea what will come next. I have no idea about a lot of things these days and so I’ve clung to the one thing that keeps me connected to you all. That thing always has and always will be music. And may it continue, evermore. evermore is out now: https://t.co/QYMUTL0IAjpic.twitter.com/tlSmahDkBi
I wont say too much in regards to this album, especially since this is the 2nd project she has dropped within the year! I get it though, this Coronavirus pandemic has alot of artists feeling uninspired, and I am glad to see that she is one artist who muscles through her problems to always come out on top! Taylor made this beautiful project with only three features from Haim, The National, and Bon Iver. Rating 9 out of 10
This album is hitting! I can tell that Kamaiyah must like that Louisiana beat type for I kept having to remind myself that she’s from Oakland. For this to be Kamaiyah’s first album, she’s coming out hard. She enlisted features from Jackboy and Mozzy, but the rest is all her, and it’s definitely listen worthy!! Rating 9 out of 10
Boldy James is out here coming to hard and representing those Griselda Boys proudly for he literally has dropped 4 projects this year alone and ALL four are hard!!! Of course it’s hardly any features, but Meyhem Lauren, Stove God Cooks, Eto, Mooch, and Rigz all contribute to the dopeness of this album! Rating 9 out of 10

This project is a whole vibe! Its alot of features that I am not going to name because its so many LOL definitely a must listen…good enough for the whole family to listen! Rating 9 out of 10
I am loving this deluxe by Amine. The original was dope too, but kind of a snooze in my opinion! The songs added to this deluxe reminds me as to why I like Amine music from the start! Rating: 7 out of 10
What I truly like about this album is that its such a feel good vibe from the beginning to the end. This album can be played around the seniors and the babies for the way Shawn sing his lyrics keeps things safe..nothing is overly done. Overall a great album with only 1 feature artist, Justin Bieber, and every song sounds like the piece to a perfect playlist. Rating: 9 out of 10
I am very excited to hear on YFN Lucci’s 3rd installment of the “Wish Me Well” series, that auto tune was not overly used!!! I liked his music, but I found myself having to hear a song repeatedly just to get into it. Of course this project is filled with dope artist features and club joints and songs for us LADIES! Rated 8 out of 10
I love when dj’s release projects with dope features from your most popular or artists who you should get to know! Dj Scheme followed the same playbook and did well. Rating 8 out 10
I am so happy for Rico Nasty!!!!! I have been a few for a couple years now, and what I love about her is she is making her own lane. Like how nobody can be like Future, no one can be like Rico period!! For this to be her first album, she went in. Dope features with artists like Gucci Mane, Don Tolliver, Amine, Trippie Redd, PPCocaine, my girl Sukihana, and the lovely Rubi Rose!!! Definitely a must listen! Rating 10 out of 10
Here’s another lady to whom I have been loving her vibe as an artist, writer, and just overall style! This project I swear has me wanting more! From having dope feature with another bomb artist Flo Milli and 6lack only adds to more flava, but Yung Baby Tate can handle her own tho! Rating 9 out of 10
Soulja Boy always stay consistent with his music even if it still sounds the same, but the beats are hard for he is a producer! I can admit that he has a couple of tracks I can find myself bumping to. This project has no features just Young Draco on every track giving you swagged out flo! Rating 6 out of 10
I like his voice for some reason, but he be telling some interesting street tales! Features including Icewear Vezzo, Lil Mosey, Tee Grizzly, Rich The Kid, and others let you know they most likely agree with me as well! Drakeo is fresh from out of jail so you know the project is filled with that Detroit flava, and deserves a listen!! Rating 8 out of 10
