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.

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.

Having already scorched summer 2020 TV ratings with the likes of Katy Perry, John Legend, H.E.R., and more, the series reveals they’re just getting warmed up and have unveiled the next slew of superstars to finish the season.

Circa 2009, YouTube- still in its formative years- saw a wave of charismatic characters glide into its platform and bolster its popularity with engaging original content.
At the forefront? The quick-witted and fast-paced personality Qaadir Howard.
