Rapper Kash Doll (born Arkeisha Knight) led her long-awaited studio album to chart battle on October 18, much to the delight of her growing legion of fans.

Titled ‘Stacked,’ the LP followed her critically acclaimed introductory efforts – 2018’s ‘Brat Mail’ mixtape and ‘The Vault’ EP (both credited with only building buzz for the beauty’s debut).  Yet, while ‘Stacked’ lived up to its title by including an impressive stack of features including Trey Songz, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Teyana Taylor, and more, it failed to deliver any Hot 100 charting singles ahead of its release.

Did that impact its first week performance on the Billboard 200?  Look inside to see how the project stacked up against the competition:

As new talent goes, few are drumming up as much buzz as J Kaz. 

Boasting a flavorsome sound rooted in his Jamaican upbringing, the rising star has made waves on many a radar thanks to his magnetic melodies and infectious hooks. And with the New Year fast approaching, he’s been earmarked as a definitive “one to watch.”

With new single ‘Carry Feelings,’ he makes clear why.

A collaboration with Trillary Banks and Dejour, the Dancehall drenched track has been garnering much love on UK airwaves.

Speaking on the song, Kaz explained:

“This song just came about so naturally. Trillary and Dejour were both so rapid with laying their verses; I just knew we had to get this song straight out! As soon as Dejour told me he was due to visit the UK for the first time ever that was the icing on the cake and boom here we are!”
