After relocation and a name change the artist formerly known as Mr. Mag is back. Now residing in Atlanta his new music is under the moniker Qua.litti. Never to worry Qua.litti is the same same artist fans know and love and he’s got a new album Omni, to prove it.

Nothing says brotherly love like dropping a joint album. That’s exactly what RicosView and Rion TheRuler did with Chapo Vuitton.

Though RicosView and Rion TheRuler provide plenty of versatility by merging all of there own talents, Köya and Nu’ Nu Hughes only make things more interesting.

Tammy Rivera Delivers Fate

Leave a comment

At midnight, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Star Tammy Rivera released her debut EP, Fate, putting the world in its feelings.

Producer by iconic RnB producer Rico Love, Fate chronicles the highs and lows of relationships. The combination of Rivera’s angelic voice, very public relationship and the musical genius is sure to put the entrepreneur on the map.

The seven track effort, though much too short, leaves nothing to be desired. An effective combination of uptempo tracks and ballads, Rivera’s talent shines through effortlessly.

Meet J.Reign

Leave a comment

Hailing from Chicago, by way of Atlanta, J.Reign is a man of many talents. Primarily a rapper, J.Reign’s distinctive voice and energy make him memorable, if nothing else.

Releasing his debut project The Reign Gretzky Pre-Season in 2013, J.Reign established his sound early on. His follow up effort Reign Gretzky: Hat Trick was released in 2015. Playing on his own moniker and the name of Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Wayne Gretzky for the names of his first and second projects, it is obvious that J. Reign wants his name to be associated with nothing less than greatness.

Earlier this year the performer added actor, screen writer and executive producer to his resume with the release of the short film Face Off: Chicago 2 Atlanta.

Keep up with J.Reign on social media: @ReignGretzky.

Jagged Edge is Sorry for the Layover

Leave a comment

It looks like Jagged Edge got tired of these halfway love songs. The iconic Atlanta based group released their ninth studio album Layover.

With minimal promotion, the group announced just last month that Layover would be released in July.

Just over an hour of the rnb that Jagged Edge built their fan base on, Layover is composed of 16 tracks. Melodies and harmonies over base heavy instrumentals still define their sound and despite more than two decades in the game JE’s music is as pertinent as ever.

Check it out: Layover

Migos Created a Culture

Leave a comment

Today marks the release of Migos second studio album, befittingly titled Culture.

It’s almost unimaginable that Migos could call their sophomore effort anything other than Culture. The trio has created their own culture and their global hit “Bad & Boujee” is a perfect indication.

Culture is 13 tracks of exactly what Migos fans would expect: money, firearms, drugs and sex. Just shy of an hour long, the effort features some of the most popular names in hip hop. In addition to Lil Uzi Vert, DJ Khaled, Gucci Mane, Travis Scott and 2Chains lend their talents to Culture. Production is a masterpiece by some the most noteable names in the game including Metro Boomin’, Nard & B, Zaytoven and 808 Mafia.

The “sophomore curse” is no concern of the Migos. Culture is certainly deserving of Childish Gambino’s Golden Globes shout out.

Culture is available worldwide.
