While hot on the promo trail for his new album, ‘The Product III: StateofEmergency,’ singer August Alsina sent the internet into a state of frenzy with the revelation he had an affair with married actress Jada Pinkett Smith.  What’s more, he even claimed her husband – Academy Award-nominated star Will Smith – approved.

Just hours after his commentary went viral, Pinkett hit back by denying his jaw-dropping claims (click here to read more).  Now, her superstar hubby is following suit.

After a lengthy spell on the bench, August Alsina sent fans into a state of shock when he unexpectedly announced ‘StateofEmergency’ – his official third album.

Released June 26 (just a week after being announced), the LP came as his first studio effort in nearly 5 years and first off the Def Jam imprint (after a highly publicized fall out with the label).  Packed with a whopping 27 songs, ‘StateofEmergency’ was preceded by the release of housed cuts ‘Rounds,’ ‘NOLA,’ and ‘Sincerely’ and boasts names like Yo Gotti, Tink, Lil Wayne, and Juicy J on its list of features.

Yet, despite immediately shooting to #1 on iTunes R&B charts (where it sits at writing), the minimal warning ahead of the set’s unveiling has arguably worked to its detriment if industry analyst predictions are to be believed.

Look inside to see just how many units they anticipate the album will shift by the end of its inaugural tracking week.

Burna Boy continues to blaze!

The African Giant is gearing up for the release of new album ‘Twice As Tall’ and has unleashed ‘Wonderful’ as the first taste of what’s to come.

Arriving on the heels of his BET Awards win for Best International Act is the track’s accompanying video.

Directed by K, the visual puts the regality of Burna’s Nigerian heritage on front-stage. A thread that is purposefully sewn into the song itself.

Speaking on the release, the GRAMMY and BRITs nominee said:

“This song is about the ‘wonders’ of seeing the impact of my music on people’s lives as they shared their joy, pain and pleasure with me while I toured the world. It serves as a note that no matter how far you go, or how hard you work; you must be ready to come home, the pandemic forced us all to take refuge in our homes. Above all, Africa is home, it is the motherland to all people. For us to truly matter, Africa has to matter.”
