Why Victoria Monet is the Next Big Thing!!

Victoria Monet is an underrated superstar and she is a big deal! Can we say BIG FRIGGIN DEAL?! Victoria is in a class of her own! As a QUADRUPLE threat, she writes, produces, sings and dances. 




You'll know when this lady is speaking as she has a signature soft-spoken speaking voice that beckons all who listens.  The first record I had ever heard from Monet was a blissful R&B track from her 'Nightmares and Lullabies' album that was uploaded to Soundcloud sometime around 2012 and it's been musical love ever since! YOU CAN LISTEN TO THAT TRACK BELOW.




Victoria Monet is the songstress-writer who's written for heavy hitters like Ariana Grande (Thank U, Next, 7 Rings), Brandy Norwood (Rather be), Nas (You Wouldn't Understand) and Diddy. When speaking to Variety about the mood in the room the night the chart topping song was written, she said: 

“It was a big mix of emotions, a lot of things were happening. [For one, she was still healing. Two, she was trying to express and heal through music — but surrounded by friends and a bunch of champagne."

the atmosphere was therapeutic and celebratory for Ariana, Victoria and their group of friends.




aS A GRAMMY NOMINATED artist, Victoria has come a long way from her poetry writing days which would later propel her into a songwriting career. although Victoria didn't attend a formal music school,  she has stated that she's gained experience and lessons via the game of life and trial and error.  She's also gained experience BY observing and collaborating with others.  




Victoria Monet released her latest musical effort entitled "jaguar." if you haven't purchased or streamed this album you are missing out on top notch  music. the music ON THIS ALBUM has a GROOVING 70s vibe  along with a mixture of classic r&b AND A LITTLE BIT OF POP. LOVE THE FACT THAT SHE FEATURES LIVE INSTRUMENTATION ON THE ALBUM.

Monet truly shows off her lyrical prowess on this album and every track is a sultry sexy bop! SHE has  a way with melodies and she deserves a place among the artists of artists....TALKING STEVIE WONDER, Beyonce,  prince level!   SHE'S JUST THAT GREAT!

Isis Gaston bka Ice Spice is the IT Girl of Generation Z.  Like a roaming colorful butterfly, she seemingly came out of thin air and blazed her way onto the rap girl scene.  She’s already formed collaborations with female rap heavy hitter, Nicki Minaj and pop sensation, Taylor Swift only three years in the game.  While briefly attending SUNY Purchase in New York, Ice Spice met and began creating music with her producer friend, Riot (Ephrem Lopez Jr.).  Riot encouraged and motivated her to pursue a rap career and she's since been successful. Ice Spice recently released her debut album, Y2K , on July 26th following the releases of her mixtapes in previous years.  The album contains 10 tracks and is 23 minutes long.  She's since embarked on her first world tour in July.  One thing about Ice Spice is that she knows how to get the crowds moving with her catchy drill and trap bops. Ice Spice has always sported a signature curly afro reminiscent of a ginger h...

FDA To Ban Relaxers Next Month As Cancer Link is Revealed

Almost 90% of black women have used a chemical relaxer at some point in their lives; many of whom began using it as children.  Usage of chemical relaxers has posed significant risks to the health of minority women. Women who use chemical relaxers are often unaware of the health conditions that they can introduce.  They have been clinically linked to reproductive disorders, infertility, cancer and other diseases.   A reporter for the New York Times, Linda Villarosa, spent a significant amount of time gathering facts about the health crisis surrounding chemical relaxers.  Through a lens similar to one idealized by black female epidemiologists, Villarosa discovered the well-researched link between the frequent usage of chemical relaxers and uterine cancer in black women.  These chemically-laced relaxers contain ingredients that act as endocrine disrupters which lead to early puberty and cancer in black women. Chemical relaxers have always been aggressively ma...
