Hey Goodies!!! I hope everyone’s week was great or if not….be blessed you have made it through it!!! This week of new releases are LIT!!! We got a new release from Paid In Full rapper Rakim. We also have Paid In Full rapper Rakim’s son who released a new project. Lil Keed and NLE Choppa have also step to plate with some fire music. Lil Baby and Rod Wave are following in the steps of other well known artist by re-releasing their most recent albums with added music then repackaging them as deluxe albums. Popcaan coming through with riddems, while Tobe Nwigwe making sure he keeps are heads spinning with not only dope lyricism, but hitting topics that should be on the forefront of the news!

I feel that these are all the ingredients to add for a fine dinner of fresh music!!! Oh and do not forget to check your girl out! I have fresh and new content up on 216 The Beat radio channel on Youtube called Tina with the Tea!!!!!

AMINE – LIMBO

It’s knew it was about time for Amine to drop another album!! I think it’s been since 2017!!!! Please believe that not only is the wait over, but it was well worth the wait. This sophomore album sounds like he really took his time and even made a very good dedication to the recently deceased ex NBA player, Kobe Bryant. Overall, this is a great album with a lot of feel good tracks with dope lyricism to top it off!

DABABY – BLAME IT ON BABY (DELUXE)

So DaBaby decided to follow the theme of 2020 which is re-release your album , but make it a deluxe album! Honestly…I’m liking a lot of the new songs added to the deluxe album vs the original! I swear DaBaby is not going anywhere no time soon!

LIL KEED – TRAPPED ON CLEVELAND 3

I swear Lil Keed is my favorite out of Young Thugs crew of slimes. The project Keed dropped last year was super dope even though I had to get used to his voice…you can tell he was speaking on some ish! Trust and believe that this project will provide extra bump in ya ride!!!

NLE CHOPPA – TOP SHOTTA

NLE Choppa came thru on this project! I can say that literally every song will have you bobbin your head continuously! If he stays clear from trouble I believe that he will have a successful career.

POPCAAN – FIXTAPE

If you are looking for some feel good music with some reggae feel…this album will give you that fix! Popcaan goes in on this album, even Drake is featured on this blazing album.

ROD WAVE – PRAY 4 LOVE (DELUXE)

I see the formula for re-releasing albums with additional songs by which makes the project a deluxe version. Like Dababy, I like the songs a little more that was added onto the original album. I personally enjoy Rod Wave’s music for he makes music that you can feel, and this project is something his fans will definitely enjoy.

TOBE NWIGWE – THE PANDEMIC PROJECT

This right here!!!!!!!! OMFG THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!! This is a project that we been needed and I suggest for all to listen to. This project represents everything we people of color are feeling especially during this year of 2020. Great work Tobe!!

TAHMELL – HOME

I swear to be the son of rapper, Rakim, I feel like that instantly puts expectations of greatness on you, but I can say that Tahmell seems to have found his own lane that fits him. This project has a nice vibe to it, and dope flows. This project is definitely worth a listen or maybe 2!!

JACOB LATIMORE – LEO SEASON

Soooo…I am guessing that Jacob must be a lovely Leo LOL There’s nothing like putting music out around the time of your birthday…I guess it gets you ready to celebrate! Jacob who has a nice voice that does well on any beat. Short project with great song selections to get you in the mood plus features that include: Trevor Jackson, Rotimi, Eric Bellinger and others!

DC THE DON – COME AS YOU ARE

This artist from Milwaukee is lit!!!!! Even though this is my first time checking his music out…he has gained a fan in me!!!

You will not believe that singer Brandy has finally released a new album in 8 years, and so many other dope releases came out today too! Check them out below:

BARLOS MONTANA – PHASE 3

I am truly excited on how Barlos Montana is staying consistent with releasing out material. His style is something different than any other artist coming out of Cleveland for being different can always set him apart from the others. While this Ep only contained 3 tracks….I can say it has me anticipating for more!

BRANDY – B7

To see that one of my favorite singers/actresses finally released some new music I was totally ecstatic!!! It literally been 8 years since she has released anything new! This new album starts off a little slow, but once you get to song 6 the album starts to come live LOL overall I am elated to hear her voice again and I hope she continues to bless us with her music.

NYCK CAUTION – OPEN FLAME

I am salty this is only an Ep!!!!! I am truly feeling the track that has Flipp Dinero featured on it, but overall this guy right here is someone to be looking out for in the future.

BEYONCE – THE LION KING: THE GIFT(DELUXE)

Beyonce would prolly kill me for I have yet to watch “Black Is King” on my Disney Plus app! I will definitely watch it once I get settled. She is one of the greatest performers in my lifetime and generation. Now with this deluxe of the Lion King I get to hear the songs I grew to love yet over again and again LOL

E-40 always staying with some heat in trunk!

JUSTIN RARRI – YOUNGEST IN KHARGE

This project is super dope!! I love the production and his flows!

TEEJAY3K – INTROVERT: SIDE B

RJMRLA – LET ME TALK MY SHIT

He’s one of the dopest rappers to come out of LA but not too many people are familiar with him as of yet! He stays very consistent and at times will include unexpected features from artist that you never thought knew of him, and thats exactly how I got to know of his music. This project is nothing new…just like his other work this right here will be on repeat!!

DA GREAT APE – STR8DROP

The Most Searched: A Celebration of Black History Makers

As we approach the month of February, it is time for us to celebrate Black History Month. In celebration of this time, Google has made a video highlighting the most searched videos of Black history makers!!!

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

To be acknowledged for doing anything great in America as a Black American is very far and few. I totally salute Google for changing the regime, and showing America that they see us LOUD, CLEAR, and in 3D!!!

Google briefly explains the reasoning behind this video:

“This Black History Month, we’re celebrating some of #TheMostSearched moments and individuals in America. To find them, we used U.S.-based Google Trends Data to identify Black American achievements that were searched more than any others between January 1, 2004 – when U.S. Search Data first became available – and July 1, 2019. Here’s to the history makers and all those they continue to inspire”

I swear it gets no better than that!!! Enjoy this 1 minute film and get ready for Black History Month 2020!!

See the full methodology behind the film and explore more of #TheMostSearched at g.co/blackhistorymonth.
