Auli’i Cravalho performed ‘How Far I’ll Go’ from her breakout movie, Disney’s ‘Moana’ at the 2017 Oscars. At the 3:20 mark, a backup dancer accidentally hits the right side of her head with his flag pole, but she recovers quickly mid-song with the poise and grace of a musician twice her age, as the talented singer/actress is only 16! Moana was nominated for two oscars, Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song for “How Far I’ll Go.”

“This a whole new lifestyle in the making and i’ll make it, don’t mistake it gotta face that’ll break every stereotype watch me, take it!” HeeSun raps coyly, daring you to question her image and lyrical prowess. Korean Hip-Hop artist, HeeSun Lee, releases the music video for her first single, “I Break Stereotypes” featuring MC Jin, from her upcoming album Picture Perfect. If this track foreshadows the music we’re going to see from these two in the next few months, then lets get excited. MC Jin is expected to release his upcoming single “Hypocrite” on November 19th.

Mai Lee and Bradd Young team up with director Pascal Beaubeuf for the female-empowering track, “Fitness”– her first publicly released music video. A nice and added touch to the intro was a tie-in to her hit “When Love Was,” that leads nicely into the music video and story line. This proves that Mai Lee can be just as confident in front of a camera as she is singing behind a microphone. Besides, I’m sure the men are going to love seeing Mai Lee work out in front of the camera. [youtube id=”BlPmFgkT-RE” width=”600″ height=”350″]

Although Rel Princeton is still preparing to release his album, Crash Landing, he takes time to treat fans with a 15 track pre-album. Three of his previously released singles– Anti-Everything, Twisted Souls, & Crash Landing– are included on this project and are arguably some of his stronger songs to date. Overall, the pre-album shows off a diverse mix of lyrical content, depth, and instrumentation.  Hip Hop is a tough market to breakthrough, but this is one gem of a project that Rel hopes will connect with listeners. I guess we’ll have to wait just a little longer…

D-Pryde releases his highly anticipated second mixtape for your listening pleasure with 15 well-rounded tracks and an appearance by underground legend, Bun B. Let us know what you think!
