Mariah the Scientist satisfies fans with The Intermission, an EP of previously unreleased singles. The four-track release, which is out today on RCA Records, is inspired by comedy in art, notably taking parts of broadcast television and merging them with music in a comical way.

“I thought it would be a good way to entertain myself and others during ‘the intermissions’ between my projects,” Mariah said. “This project is really important for me, because it’s really all about my fans. I’ve kept some of this music from them for so long and it’s been overdue for me to share this art. Also, I wanted to showcase more of my personality.”

Tana Talk 4 Digital Cover Art 1

Benny The Butcher’s first project of 2022 is Tana Talk 4, the fourth installment of his influential Tana Talk series. Tana Talk 3 was released in 2018 and quickly became a fan favorite. Benny enlisted The Alchemist and Daringer to handle all of the production for Tana Talk 4 in a real return to form.

“I love Tana Talk 3, it’s what got me familiar with the people.  It’s the real me, who I was then. It’s my baby, my firstborn” Benny said.  “It brought me here and made me.”

The project’s breakout singles and videos include “Johnny P’s Caddy” featuring J.Cole and Benny’s ode to his Montana Ave days, “10 More Commandments” featuring Diddy, in which Benny deftly updates Notorious B.I.G. & DJ Premier’s classic with ten more of his own Pyrex.

“With Tana Talk 4 I have a chip on my shoulder.  No one thinks I can recreate that energy.  I’m not trying to create the same energy, but TT3 was who I was then, what I was going through.  The things you hear me talking about on Tana Talk 4, is me now and who I’ve become” Benny added.  “It’s special to me because I get to talk about things that I would never talk about on any other project. Tana Talk is the series where you get me, my deepest, darkest feelings.  I’m sure people are going to be surprised at the things I’m saying on TT4, but they are also going to get an inside look at things.”

In addition to Diddy and Cole, Tana Talk 4 features Boldy James, Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, Stove Good Cooks, and 38 Spesh. You can see the “10 More Commandments” video and hear the new album below.

Candydrip, Lucky Daye’s much-anticipated new album, is finally here. Candydrip, produced by Daye’s longstanding partner D’Mile, delves into Daye’s reinvention of modern R&B through a futuristic, Sci-Fi environment informed by Afrofuturism.

As far as New Artists On The Rise go, Kyla Imani, former Gen Z host for The Source Report and thesource.com, started 2022 with “BIG PLANS.” The name of her single holds true to her year as she will take the stage in Austin, Texas as an official SXSW 2022 artist. Kyla Imani will be on hand for the weekend of March 16 to March 20, infusing the city and festival with her brand of music, which is skyrocketing her into superstardom one stage at a time.

One of the stages Kyla Imani will be featured on is the Futuristic Femme Showcase, appearing alongside Omeretta The Great, Nezi Momodu, Santana Fox, and Keora.

Imani’s latest hard-hitting single, “BIG PLANS,” has caught the attention of Tunecore, who made her New Music Friday featured artist for 01/21/2022.

With over 1.5 million followers on TikTok and music as her brand’s signature, Kyla Imani is looking to bet on herself this year. Kyla has secured major sponsorship campaigns with companies like Adobe, L’Oreal, Ulta-Beauty, Grub Hub, Hype Bae, and Footlocker while also producing her music and working with media brands such as BeatStars (where she is co-creator of “The Hook” by Kyla Imani) and The Source Magazine, ushering in a fresh and new generation to the iconic media brand. This year, she has taken a leave of absence from the famed Tisch School of the Arts at NYU to pursue being a full-time content creator, songwriter, and music artist.

Last year was a significant artist development year for Kyla Imani, as she dropped several independent singles, including singles: “These Boys Ain’t It” and the “TrackStar: Let Him Hurt” remix, which became a TikTok anthem going viral and had young ladies all across the globe clapping back on the dating and heart-breaking games there dudes (or boys) play in a relationship — as she became a voice for the witty clap backs. Check and subscribe to her growing YouTube channel to hear more of her songs.

Keep up with Kyla Imani’s moves across SXSW and in the future on her Instagram.

There’s a 1Take over going on right now in Los Angeles.

Just like 1TakeJay did a few weeks ago, 1TakeBoyz’s 1TakeQuan follows suit with a new project of his own, sharing the new mixtape Back 2 Back, which he accessorized with a new music video for the project’s first single, “Love Talk.” The tape and music video arrives on top of the viral wave Quan is riding right now due to the popularity of his latest track, “Single.”

Along with “Single” and “Love Talk,” the project includes breakout songs “Chitlins,” “Bubble Coat” and “I’m Tripping.” Known for his playboy antics, Quan shows a different side of him in the music we rarely hear from a member of the rowdy crew.

On “Love Talk,” featuring 1TakeOcho and Tyler J, 1TakeQuan is an office manager seducing his co-worker as she flaunts around in lingerie, showering the recording artist with money. Ocho and Tyler enjoy bedroom rendezvous with beauties of their own while they rap hypnotizing verses of enticing persuasion. The video is directed by CreatedByBlu.
