Don’t worry, Kehlani fans.  Kehlani just announced she’s dropping a new album in the beginning of 2017.

The artist posted on her Instagram today she was releasing her upcoming album titled SweetSexySavage on January 27th, 2017.  Her album cover is Kehlani only wearing her well-known tattoos in front of a pink and orange sunset-like background.

Her album will be available for pre-order tomorrow.  We’re counting down the days until this goddess’ newest work of art.

 

Is SZA Really Leaving The Music Industry?

A month ago, SZA announced his fans on Twitter that she was going to quit music. In the same tweet she also mentioned that she will give permission to Terrence “Punch” Henderson, the co-president of Top Dawg Entertainment, to drop her album “if he ever feels like it.”
Meanwhile, the artist has deleted her tweet, but it seems like she hasn’t changed her mind about the drastic change that she was willing to do in her life. “I’ll probably just do something different, something visual, probably film,” she said in an interview. “I’m really frustrated, and I’m kind of over it. I have a lot of anxiety and there’s a lot going on in my life.”
SZA disclosed that Top Dawg Entertainment has been very supportive regarding her decision and that there are no issues between her and the company. However, we still have a little time to enjoy her music. For now, the singer wants to finish the album and then release it. Afterwards, she wants to “keep an open mind” and consider her career options.

Kanye West’s Health Condition Is Not Improving

Suffering from exhaustion and sleep deprivation, Kanye West was admitted to Los Angeles’ Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, over a week ago. The rapper has got involved in numerous music and fashion projects and has had to deal with a lot of stress and work. Not too long ago, he canceled one of his last shows of the Saint Pablo Tour because of voice exhaustion, after performing 40 shows in 86 days.
His wife, Kim Kardashian, hasn’t left the hospital and has been by West’s side since he was hospitalized. Kim and the doctors seem to be really concerned by Kanye’s condition, considering the fact that after all the medications he was prescribed, not much has changed.
The time spent in the medical center is not too bright for the artist. He is being very paranoid and constantly watched for his safety and a source reported that he has “big ups and downs, but this bout seems to be much more serious.”
We hope that Kanye West will get well soon and that he will be able to continue creating such an amazing art.

Tupac Biopic Release Date Announced

We have all been talking about the release of the Tupac biopic titled “All Eyes On Me” and the ACTUAL date is finally here.

On June 16th, 2017 Pac would have been 46, and on that date, his highly anticipated biopic will be released.

Dom Santana who plays Suge Knight in the film posted a picture with this caption;

“Get ready it’s coming. And please no whining about the date. It’s Pac’s b day. We’re all anxious for it to come out but people gotta remember it’s a major film and there’s a lot of process to releasing major films. Because it was Tupac a lot of buzz was created word of mouth even while we were filming which usually doesn’t happen until a movie is about to come out. This was no regular movie so you’ve been hearing about it since we started. It’s actually right on par with the timing to release a major film after you wrap shooting. So relax and look for the formal announcement soon and actual promotion to start coming out.”

Months ago Baller Alert posted the trailer of the biopic, and now they have a real purpose for the release.

I know we are all anticipating this release of this film along with whatever else the beginning of next year has in store when it comes to the late life of Tupac Shakur.
