Kevin Mazur/WireImage Cardi B Announces First Album After countless months of teasing around it , Cardi B can finally officially say she has an album on the way. The Bodak beauty (and likely Migo-mommy-to-be ) took to Instagram earlier today to reveal that her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy” will drop on April 6. So far she only has one single , “Bartier Cardi,” so what the album has to offer is as good as anyone’s guess. But with her collection of mixtapes and features…do you have high hopes for Cardi’s first solo project? WENN/Getty

Leon Bennett/Getty Images for Essence #BlackGirlMagic… Lena Waithe Covers Vanity Fair Lena Waithe is covering Vanity Fair for a landmark issue helmed by new EIC Radhika Jones. In it, Waithe is interviewed by fellow queer writer Jacqueline Woodson on various topics including pitching stories to white execs and her role as a storyteller of queer black stories. “I am tired of white folks telling my stories. We gotta tell our s**t,” says Waithe. “Can’t no one tell a black story, particularly a queer story, the way I can, because I see the God in us.” Waithe adds, “I didn’t realize I was born to stand out as much as I do. But I’m grateful. Because the other black or brown queer kids are like, ‘Oh, we the s**t.’” Lena’s also clearly confident in her identity and her blackness and she dishes on her style. “Being black and gay, having dreadlocks, having a certain kind of swag, and dressing the way I do, [people say,] ‘That’s dope, you’re cool,’” she says. “I don’t feel validated by that. I don’t want to be white. I don’t want to be straight. I don’t want to blend in. I try to wear queer designers who happen to be brown and makin’ sh**.” We see you Lena! The creator of ‘The Chi/”/all-around dope human being’s Vanity Fair cover is being praised by the likes of Ava Duvernay, who Lena worked for as a trash taking out production assistant in her early years. Dear @RadhikaJones , You’re changing the game by centering this game-changer on the @VanityFair cover. You’ve done something big here. Something bold. I’m excited by you. And grateful for this powerful image of our sister warrior, the great @LenaWaithe . Who we hold so dear. Brava. pic.twitter.com/l2hOssvgo8 — Ava DuVernay (@ava) March 22, 2018 That and more is covered in her cover story. What do YOU think about Lena Waithe’s Vanity Fair Cover? Continue reading →
This past weekend we hit up Austin, TX for the SXSW conference & festival and among many artists on the rise, Peruvian singer A.Chal was on the scene with some really dope performances! We got a chance to chat with Alejandro, 28, about his start in music, the success of his first single, and the wild traction his new hit single “Love N Hennessy” is gaining. If you haven’t already, we are sure you’ll be hearing the NY raised R&B artist’s latest hit “Love N Hennessy” and loving the wavy vibes accompanied by a Latina swag to please all cultures. The song, written by A.Chal, explains difficulties in relationships once love AND liquor get involved. When asked “What was the inspiration behind ‘Love N Hennessy’?” the electro r&b artist responded “There was a situation between myself and a girl I was dealing with, and we hadn’t spoken. We were both in Miami, and when she saw me out with another girl, she got sooo upset she threw a bottle of Hennessy at me!” Talk about Hennything can happen! We also chatted with him a bit about his current love life and A.Chal let us know he is, indeed, on the market ladies! One bad relationship don’t stop no show! Hopefully we can continue to get the moody feels with the sway vibes as he’s provided on projects “Welcome To GAZI” and “On GAZ”. Fans were super excited to see our fave summer jam had a remix on the way with 2 Chainz and Nicky Jam. We asked specifically how did the collab with ATL superstar 2 Chainz come about? “Well,a friend of mine for years, FKI, was also close with Chainz. He let him hear the reord and told him we wanted to remix it and he seemed to just jump right in. It’s crazy because I still haven’t met Chainz. Definitely something I’m planning to do my next visit to the A. I’ve got mad respect for 2 Chainz. Finally, we asked what should fans be looking forward to in the near future and he let us know that there will be visuals dropping soon for his record “Quanto” off of “On GAZ” and it will be a dope video starring fans and children, and was shot in Mexico! He won’t even be in the video! The seemingly down to earth singer says he wants to keep his focus mainly on his craft more so than the show boating. Thursday night, 3/15 he alsoperfjrmed at the Epic Records Showcase stage and killed it! To hear “ Love N Hennessy “, click here .
