Roy Woods delivered on his latest album Rolling Stone. I’ve been replaying “Hold Still” and “She Don’t Care Bout My Name” heavy, so you can start there. The whole album consists of 7 songs featuring 03 Greedo on the last.
Available on all streaming platforms, Rolling Stone is another solid addition to Roy Woods’ catalog. Check it out below.
Eric Bellinger’s It’ll All Make Sense Later takes listeners on a ride.
Standout tracks like “Pure”, “Top Dolla”, and “Follow Her Lead” are personal favorites, showcasing Bellinger’s range—from romantic ballads to confident anthems. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played “Pure”.
It’ll All Make Sense Later is a must-listen. It’s available on all streaming platforms.
Currently on replay, Indie-Christian R&B duo, Jay Manwell, dropped a new single “Gravity”. The duo delivers yet another soul-stirring song that resonates on multiple levels. “Gravity” explores themes of love, faith, and personal growth, with a vibe that’s uplifting.
I’ve been listening to their earlier songs like “Chosen”, “Home”, and “Fall on Me”, and “Gravity” fits perfectly with their style. Each track highlights their ability to fuse Christian themes with R&B in a way that feels genuine and relatable.
If you’re into music that connects with you spiritually, emotionally and hits harder than most of the industry music, Jay Manwell is definitely an act to check out. Get in tune below!!
If you’re looking for a new vibe, check out Kodie Shane’s “Pull the Car Around”. This track’s laid-back feel and smooth melodies make it impossible not to get hooked. Makes me want to take a drive down Lake Shore and cruise.
For those that don’t already know, her sound is unique, and the way she flows on this one makes it stand out. Check it out, it’s linked below.
Wolfacejoeyy knows how to bring the energy, drop catchy hooks, and tell real-life stories that just hit different. His latest album, Cupid, featuring bangers like “Dallas” and “Nympho,” shows he’s got this talent that keeps you locked in from start to finish.
Let’s talk about “Dallas” — it’s a high-energy anthem that features A Boogie Wit da Hoodie. The beat’s fire, the flow’s confident, and it’s all about chasing the grind. “Dallas” is the kind of track you’ll have on repeat while you’re out there making moves.
Then there’s “Nympho,” which switches it up with a smooth, seductive vibe. Featuring BEAM, “Nympho”, is a standout track.
Other favorites off Cupid, are “Fav Girl”, “3STAR”, and “finsta”.Together, these tracks are what Cupid is all about. Wolfacejoeyy brings his style to every track, proving he’s one to watch.

From the music scene, Nija is one to watch. Talented beyond measure, she’s not just a singer but also a prolific songwriter, making waves with her latest release, “Unruly.”
Having admired her songwriting for others, I’ve been waiting to hear more of her own songs, and “Unruly” doesn’t disappoint. Dropped independently, this track isn’t just a vibe; it’s a statement. With bold lyrics like “I’m not here to fit your mold,” Nija delivers an anthem of confidence and individuality. The mix of R&B, pop, and hip-hop sets the perfect backdrop for her smooth yet commanding vocals.
Before “Unruly,” Nija dropped her album Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You, where every song is a hit. The album showcases her versatility and ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners.
“Unruly” captures where Nija is mentally—focused, fearless, and unapologetically herself. Be sure to keep up with her future releases and dive into her earlier tracks. Nija’s catalog is packed with hits that inspire and empower. Listen to “Unruly” below.
