Interviews

Grand Hustle signee Young Dro isn't a bad guy, in fact, at a recent studio session in Atlanta, the 'F.D.B.' creator is all smiles. Donning a fitted cap, The Hundreds T-shirt and all-white Supras, the rapper seems to be basking in the critical acclaim of his latest mixtape, 'Day Two.' “I just did what I normally do," he tells TheDrop.fm with a shrug. "I’ve been doing this since I was like

For Amel Larriuex, there’s a simple explanation on her six-year absence. “Life happens in between, when you have kids. I have an 18-year-old and a 14-year-old and I’ve always been a hands-on parent,” she tells TheDrop.fm. However, the songbird returns with new music this year...

'Trap Lord,' the debut album from A$AP Ferg, inherently has a religious undertone, but two of the album's three previously released singles aren't really odes to spiritual transcendence.

Rappers these days are jetsetters after their first couple of hits. Even if they aren’t international travelers right away, artists like Ca$h Out create worldly fantasies through their lyrics.

"If n----s didn't know what Latin trap was before, they gonna know now," Bodega Bamz tells TheDrop.fm. Currently, the Spanish Harlem native is crafting the follow-up to his 2012 mixtape, 'Strictly 4 My P.A.P.I.Z.'

Adrian Marcel may be considered a newbie in R&B with his recent mixtape, '7 Days of Weak,' but the Oakland-based 22-year-old singer knows what he wants when it comes to music. “When you think about what it means, you’ve got rhythm and blues, and in my opinion, I have heard blues in a long time. So I think it’s something everyone goes through at the end of the day. Everyone falls in love. Every

Bobby V. is done singing about sex -- at least for now. The Atlanta native has gone ‘Back to Love’ on his new single, a dreamy ode filled with jazzy, live instrumentals and affectionate lingo. “Good night to you my soul flower / I hope you wish upon my star," he sings.

If you haven't heard of Mack Wilds, you've probably seen him. Gracing the big and small screens since 2005 as Tristan Wilds, he's starred in shows like 'The Wire' and '90210' as well as appeared in 'Red Tails' and 'The Secret Life of Bees' alongside Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys. However, like musicians who want to transition from the stage to the screen, Wilds is moving into musi

Donell Jones is no longer “sneaking into people’s back doors,” an analogy he uses for the songs of infidelity on his last project, ‘Lyrics,' released in 2010. The veteran R&B singer tells TheDrop.fm that his latest opus, ‘Forever,’ was made for love and to be timeless.

"I don’t want to write songs that mean nothing and just chase the hit," Elijah Blake tells TheDrop.fm as he sits comfortably inside Roc Nation's New York headquarters. "I want to write songs that reflect what’s going on in someone’s life."
