Los Angeles, California native, JR Jones is a multi-talented musician who’s work ethic is undeniable. From rapping, to song writing, and production, JR was born to a Mexican-American mother, and African-American father, which brings a unique mix of two dynamic cultures often displayed through his music. Today, he delivers his brand new album, NOVA, along with another catchy, yet comical visual for his latest single “Rick James“.

Growing up the son of an R&B singer, JR Jones naturally gravitated towards music in his teenage years. Under the tutelage of his father, and with a desire to create music, he developed an international appeal be serving flow and a type of vibe that’s currently trending in various genres of music.

Recently, Power 106 (Los Angeles, CA), and 98.3 KWIN (Stockton, CA) both granted JR airplay and showed love for his music and drive. Popular radio personality at KWIN, Amanda King, had this to say about this young talent:

“His energy is contagious! I can see big things in store for him! Watch this guy shock the world!”

Nova is now available on all digital streaming platforms via AWAL Distribution. Check out the visual for “Rick James” above, and stream the album below!

Fargo Friday’s live on as Tory Lanez drops a new track called “Super Freaky,” featuring MMG’s Rick Ross.

It was only about a month ago the New Toronto singer released his debut album ‘I Told You.’ Now, he’s back at it again putting out new material. The song and cover art is inspired by Rick James’ 1981 hit song, “Super Freak.” To add extra spice to the hot track, he links with another Rick, but this time the boss – Ricky Rozay.

Lanez sings “I got two bitches and they freaky / You can’t bring her home to mama cause she too freaky / su-su-su-super freaky.” The freaky track is produced by Reazy Renegade, Play Picasso, and the R&B singer himself, Tory Lanez.

The new track comes out in the midst of Lanez traveling all over the country for his I Told You tour. The album is lead by two smash singles “Say It,” and “Luv.” Lanez has always been one to gift his fans with new music, and at the rate he is going, sounds like he’s got plenty more to share.

Listen to the “Super Freaky” track above!

Keyshia Cole releases artwork for “Point of No Return”

RESPECT. Staff — Wed, 24 Sep 2014 18:57:33 +0000

After last April’s release of the music video for single “Rick James,” R&B Singer Keyshia Cole announced in July that her latest album, Point of No Return, will drop on October 7th. In the recently released album cover, Cole waits at the assumed ‘point of no return,’ donning sunglasses, ripped up jeans, and a white tank on a deserted highway.

Today, Cole dropped the sequel to 2007’s “I Remember,” “Remember (Part 2).” The ballad laments loss of love and the pain of rejection from that person closest to you. Cole croons, “Things ain’t weighing out things ain’t addin up baby / I don’t know if I even miss you / Don’t wanna kiss you / How could you love somebody else.”

The album has some pretty big collaborations on it: 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Wale, August Alsina, Future, & Gavyn Rhone will all make appearances on Point of No Return. Besides “Rick James” and “Remember (Part 2)” singles “Next Time (Won’t Give My Heart Away),” and the DJ Mustard-produced “She” have already hit the cybersphere—to majority positive reception. Other slated producers include Mike WiLL Made-It, Stargate, Mario Winans, and RedOne.

Cole was recently in some hot water for reportedly assaulting a woman outside of boyfriend Birdman‘s penthouse. On Friday, she was arrested and later released on charges of battery by LAPD. Hopefully Cole can turn all of this around before the release of her album.
