Demi Lovato – Dancing With The Devil…The Art Of Starting Over
The stereotype of child stars going on to have rough lives has always been prevalent in pop culture, and while it may unfortunately be true for the most part, it’s quite possible that nobody has had it worse than Demi Lovato.

Lil Tjay – Destined 2 Win
A massive benefactor of one of the biggest movements in hip-hop right now, 19-year-old Lil Tjay is just one of the many fresh young artists coming out of the burgeoning New York scene.

NF – CLOUDS (THE MIXTAPE)
Michigan rapper NF might have one of the most ride-or-die fanbases in the music industry at the moment, and it’s a huge reason why quite a few listeners (admittedly, this one included) have approached his music without the most open of minds over the years.

Giveon – When It’s All Said And Done … Take Time
California R&B artist Giveon is just another massive benefactor of the all-powerful Drake stimulus, rising rapidly to prominence after the then-unknown was featured on a single from the 6 God’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes early last year.

Nick Jonas – Spaceman
Seems like even an iconic teen heartthrob like Nick Jonas can’t get the sales numbers going in the extremely quiet musical year that has been 2021 so far. Contrary to his other famous brother, Nick has been much more prolific with his public ventures outside of the brotherly band, and is now on his fourth … Continue reading Nick Jonas – Spaceman
