“You’ve got too many ways / girl keep that same energy / how did we become enemies? / I held you down you were playing with me all season.”

The song basically has Lyfe, DCMBR, Ye Ali and JAHKOY expressing their lack of comprehension for their girls’ games, who always seem to have too many ways to play the boys. Appropriately giving it the “Too Many Ways” title, things get complicated, going hot and cold from lovers to enemies.

Listen to the track below.

Los Angeles rising star Ye Ali, is using his authentic sound to influence the music business in a major way. Having recently produced for Chris Brown and Eric Bellinger, his talent as a producer has propelled him into a fruitful career as a recording artist.

Coming off of his Private Suite 2 release, Ali is a riding out a musical wave like never before. He is bringing back that sexy, 90’s R&B, that will serve as the summer soundtrack for music lovers worldwide.

I caught up with this hot shot for a candid interview surrounding his current success. He candidly discussed being a recoding artist, putting out new material and working with some of music’s biggest acts to date.

Ye Ali Interview

RESPECT: How influential has 90’s r&b music been on your own sound?

YE ALI: Im a big fan of 90s R&B groups so they definitely influence my sound a lot. I didn’t really get into R&B until I became a musician so I always find new groups that I never heard of on line.

RESPECT: What inspired the releases of your private suite 2 project?

YE ALI: I just felt like putting out a body of work to add to my collection. PS1 was released out of nowhere so I thought it was only right to have a similar release for the follow up. I like bodies of work more than singles because it tells a story and is a bit more personal to the fan. I was in a zone for a week and created the majority of the project in that week.

RESPECT: How has the response been from fans since its release?

YE ALI: It’s been great, only complaint was that the songs were too short. That was my plan the whole time though. I wanted to make the fans kind of mad the song wasn’t longer just to make it a conversation point.

RESPECT: What is it like working with Chris Brown, and what song(s) on his
Indigo album did you produce?

YE ALI: It is cool to work with anyone who is a legend in the game. So from that perspective I was grateful. I only co wrote on “Emerald” featuring Juicy J and Juvenile. I started this song in November of 2018 with a songwriter name Felli Ferraro.

I think that is how you spell it. She is amazing so shoutout to her because she lead the way and I followed her lead. Chris made it easy because he told us the concept/title to the song so that gave us parameters to work.

RESPECT: How did your relationship with Eric Bellinger develop?

YE ALI: We met through my friend Milan who was a photographer and videographer for Eric for a time in 2014-15. I met Eric on set with Fetty Wap for their song “Valet” I believe. Few years later I meet Eric in the studio and we do “Big Body Benz”. Just some full circle life shit basically.

RESPECT: What is up next for you?

YE ALI: Traphousejodeci 2 executive produced by Bizness Boi is coming out in the Fall.

Ye Ali keeps on giving us fresh island tings with his new single “Wedding Bands” that features K. Camp. They are a great duo, both being married to the money. The song is produced by Bizness Boi and CashMoneyAp. Ye posted a snippet of the single and he had so much positive feedback, it was only right for him to release it.

The duo also worked together in the past with “What To Do,” which was off the album Traphouse Jodeci. Ye also made a major appearance on Chris Brown‘s new album Heartbreak on a Full Moon, which was released today (Halloween). He released his project Passion & Patience in early July with the single “Talk Less.”

Recently, he sat down with Hypebeast to explain the creation of “Wedding Bands”:

I wanted to make something that sounded infectious yet effortless…I often hear songs about bands, but I’ve never heard it customized to the idea of marriage quite like this…when I posted the snippet the response was amazing so I knew it would be some of my best work.

Ye is going up from here by hopefully releasing Traphouse Jodeci 2 and a visual to “Wedding Bands” soon!

Stream the single below.

Ye Ali, also known as the self-proclaimed Traphouse Jodeci, just released some sensual visuals for his  “Oceans” track. The track appeared on his 2016 Traphouse Jodeci album, a project that generated tons of buzz for the rising star.

Directed by Alex Mcdonell, “Oceans” finds Ali getting suited up as he gets ready to head out on a trip by the beach to serenade his lover. Drama ensues as burglars break into his apartment, and the couple makes a daring escape in formal wear. Riding out into the romantic sunset in a Jaguar, they arrive at the beach where he romantically sings, “I want to get swept up in your ocean, the waves of love keep hittin’ me, I’m floatin’.”

Check out the video for the slow jam below.

The chemistry between Boston’s Gary Soulz and Flexxington Don is evident and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Over the last six months, the frequent collaborators have been busy in the studio working with each other. After releasing music under the moniker G.O., Soulz decided to change his name and with the name change came a new sound that is a bit more refreshing than his previous releases, which tip-toed on the boom bap side of hip-hop.

Following up last month’s “Stressin,” Soulz and his go to producer are back with their latest offering “My Luv” featuring a guest appearance from the rising, Ye Ali. Despite contributions from the higher profiled Ali, the spotlight remains on Soulz.

Shortly after the electric synths kick in Soulz rolls out a polished verse about holding his girl down through anything. Separating his verse from Ali’s boastful contribution is a repetitive hook yet its simplicity helps gets the message across — he’ll be there for his girl no matter. Ashante Nicole also returns again and laces the track with smooth background vocals, finishing off where she started on “Stressin.”

Listen to “My Luv” and stay tuned for his upcoming Soul Soundz EP, which is expected to arrive this spring.
