Muni Long most certainly lives up to her name – but her journey hasn’t been without its bumps along the way.

No newbie to the music industry, the star first hit the scene over a decade ago using her birth name Priscilla Renea. First, she set sail as an artist before finding the lion’s share of her success as a songwriter for others.

In a compelling new interview on The Breakfast Club, the songbird – whose hit ‘Hrs and Hrs’ defines breakout smash – colored in the corners of her story that not all are familiar with.

Indeed, she dished on making her first million dollars by age 21, the politics that are rife in the music industry (specifically the lack of respect songwriters receive), being sued for double-digit millions by her former management, missing out on a Drake collaboration because of an ex, and re-branding.

The star also opened up about her forthcoming project, which will serve as the first release from her new joint venture deal with Def Jam.

Watch after the jump…

As she sits in the publication’s record books for having the most #1 hits on that specific tally (50 as of time reported), the Pop icon has assembled all the classics – which includes timeless favorites like ‘Into the Groove,’ ‘Material Girl,’ ‘Hung Up,’ and more – into one massive package titled ‘Finally Enough Love.’

Look inside for details about the epic, 50-song long complation project.

Despite taking time to enjoy motherhood and flex their skills as a music video director for other artists since 2020’s ‘It Was Good Until It Wasn’t,’ singer-songwriter Kehlani finally returned focus to their own music by unveiling their first album in two years – ‘Blue Water Road.’

Released April 29, the 13-track project – named after the street in California where it was recorded – was executive produced by Pop Wansel and features appearances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Syd, Thundercat, Blxst, Jessie Reyez, and Ambré.

Met with generally favorable reviews from industry critics and fans alike, ‘Blue Water’ has so far made a modest splash on digital download and streaming outlets – a fate some attribute to the soft rollout that accompanied its release.

Curious to see if the strategy is projected to impact the LP’s first-week sales?  Hop inside to see:

Latto‘s breakthrough hit ‘Big Energy‘ may still be making big moves in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 5 courtesy of continued handsome radio airplay, digital downloads, and streams, but – thanks to the latter two components of chart placement – it’s also finding love over at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Just two months after nabbing a Gold certification for sales of 500,000 in the United States (as we reported here), the RIAA took to press on May 3 to reveal the Dr. Luke-produced song has been elevated to Platinum status for doubling that sum.

Instead of resting on her laurels with the success of ‘Energy,’ Latto is focusing her energy on other tunes found aboard ‘777’ – namely ‘Trust No B*tch’ and ‘Wheelie.’

Roll inside to see how she handled those cuts during a recently published live session at VEVO.
