Drake Actually Helped Kehlani Name Her New Album


Kehlani revealed that Drake actually helped her come up with the name for her new album, “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t.”

It turns out that Kehlani owes Drake huge for coming up with the unique title for her new album, It Was Good Until It Wasn’t. The R&B songstress is prepping to drop the new project on Friday (May 8th), but in the meantime, she’s giving credit where credit is due. During an interview for the inaugural episode of Apple Music’s new R&B Now Radio, Kehlani opened up about the process of making the album, including how she came up with the title—or, better yet, how she and Drake came up with it. On the last day of her trip to Canada where she was busy finishing off the album with Boi-1da, the singer paid a visit to the 6 God’s Toronto mansion.

During the visit, Kehlani and Drake were simply having a “life conversation” and reminiscing on their old music, when the former described her personal life using the phrase.  “I was just like, ‘Man, yeah, it was good until it wasn’t,'” she recalls. “And he was like, ‘Say that shit again.’”

“He was like, ‘That’s your album,'” Kehlani continues. “And I was like, ‘You might be f*cking right,’ because that just summed up everything when I try to have this really long-winded explanation to you about the project…So shout out to that guy for catching that one, ’cause that would’ve been just something that I said.” It Was Good Until It Wasn’t drops tonight at midnight, with features from Tory Lanez, Jhené Aiko, James Blake, Lucky Daye, and more. Kehlani’s full interview on R&B Now Radio airs Friday at 11:00am EST on Apple Music.

Rich The Kid Reveals Artists Featured On New Album "Boss Man"

Rich The Kid revealed that his next album, titled "Boss Man," will be the first of a two-part album and will feature some exciting artists like Nicki Minaj, Post Malone, DaBaby, Future, and Lil Baby.

Rich The Kid revealed that his next album, titled Boss Man, will include features from the likes of Post Malone, Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby, Future, DaBaby, and possibly more. After leaving Interscope to sign with Republic Records in December, the rapper has started putting in work for his next project. Rich sat down with Rap-Up to discuss his next body of work, a two-part album called Boss Man and disclosed some of the featured artists.

"I got Lil Baby on the album, Future, DaBaby," he says, before explaining how a collaboration with another artist—Post Malone—came to be. "We got the same team so I'm real tight with him. We’ve actually known each other for like five, six years, when he was in Atlanta. We caught back up years down the road." The track, called "V12," was actually produced by Post. “Post Malone got beats and they’re fire," says Rich, who calls "V12" "next level" and "one of my favourite songs on the album."

"Post is a real cool, genuine dude. Cause you don't really get that much, especially at his level. People be arrogant, cocky. He's like a real cool dude." According to a recent Instagram story, "V12" may also feature Drake.

Rich also talked about working with Nicki Minaj on their song "Not Sorry," a snippet of which was leaked a few days ago. “I just had this song that was perfect to get her on and then she just killed it, this monster verse,” he said. “She’s like one of the first to start the wave for all the other female rappers.” In terms of the project as a whole, Rich indicates that while Part 1 of Boss Man has "a lot of bangers, like fun music," while Part 2, which he's already started working on, will be "more serious." Boss Man will be Rich's first release on Republic Records, and will include his singles, "That's Tuff" with Quavo, as well as the NBA YoungBoy collab, "Money Talk."
