As R&B newcomers go, few have commanded more buzz than August Alsina.

The New Orleans native has emerged as one of Def Jam’s top priori’s following the success of singles‘I Luv This Sh*t’ and ‘Make It Home’.

Ever keen to ask the questions you really want answers to, we quizzed the rising star on his supposed “beef” with Trey Songz, his rise through the ranks, why female acts dominate R&B, and much more. Refreshingly candid, Alsina tackled each question with a brand of honesty that’ll earn him many a new fan.
