August Alsina has never been afraid of sharing his struggles. As such, it was only a matter of time before he vented about his career dramas.

A few years ago, the R&B singer was on an upward incline thanks to hits such as ‘I Luv This’ and debut album ‘Testimony.’

However, his momentum muted when sophomore offering ‘This Thing Called Life’ didn’t match the success of his first LP. And despite staying active on the touring circuit, he’s been pretty quiet ever since. Sans publicly declaring his health issues.

Now though, he’s turning up the volume on the situation surrounding his third project – and it’s not a good.

SZA has trailblazed  like few others this year and its largely thanks to her dynamite debut ‘CTRL.’

The critically acclaimed set, which was recently certified Gold, has resonated with many thanks to its sonically soothing production and hard-hitting lyrics.

Fellow songbird Solange has tapped to direct the video. And it looks like it’s coming soon.

SZA took to social media to tease the clip. Head below to see how it’s shaping up…

It’s a pretty good time to be Taylor Swift if you ask us.

The singer/songwriter, who released her sixth album, ‘Reputation,’ on November 10, has already laid claim to the year’s best-seller despite the set’s inaugural week only being half finished (as of time reported).

Before it even hit shelves, industry analysts indicated the project – which features the hits ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ ‘Gorgeous,’ ‘…Ready For It,’ and more – had moved over 400,000 copies in pre-orders alone [click here to read that].  A day after the opus landed on digital and brick-and-mortar shelves, Nielsen projected it would move no less than 1.5 million after its first tracking week completed.  If updated reports are any indication, they were right.
