Kehlani While We Wait 

If you are need of new music that cleanses the soul and uplifts the spirit, look no further, Kehlani has blessed us with her newly released mixtape While We Wait which is streaming on all platforms! The mixtape is made up of 9 songs ranging from love songs like "Love Language" to break up anthems like "Nunya." Kehlani has not disappointed us when it comes to creating bops and music that really allows you to slow down. If you do not know already she is pregnant with her first child, Adeya and that has not stopped her from creating this mixtape in mere months. She does accredit this work to her daughter and titles the mixtape While We Wait because the world is currently waiting on the arrival of Adeya and this music is "while we wait."

Also, if you are looking for a podcast and want to get deeper with Kehlani and poet and writer Reyna Biddy "Sunday Gems"is available on iTunes! They both talk about issues of depression, realities of life, good energy, etc. Go elevate yourself and listen to both the podcast and mixtape!

If you don't know by now J. Cole has dropped a new single and it has everyone talking! Some regard the single as an anti-feud track while others regard it as J. Cole coming back to maintain his spot as one the greatest. He names it Middle Child because within the family dynamic people tend to forget the middle child but Cole made his declaration that he will not be forgotten or pushed aside. Cole makes references about not being concerned about the competition and if he did make a diss record it would no be for fame, money, clout, or recognition but just because he can. And not only can he make a diss record but he could also potentially ruin someone's career with merely his words. This type of rhetoric is not new to the rapper. He has been in feuds before with his song False Prophets. Cole is not the one to shy away from controversy and telling you how it is whether it is from doing drugs to beefs with the greatest.
