Tr3y - Essential AF

eaf.png

Are we back to the normal orrrr? Not really-ish? Normal + Current state of reality = Not really normal. We probably will never be normal again, tbh. Personally, I’m in a constant state of living as my best and worst self-ish? Does that make sense? There is a global pandemic literally happening right now as we speak (read) along with a huge social justice movement so I hope you’re really paying attention to what's going on in the world around you. What side of history are you going to be on? Always ask that. #BlackLivesMatter, in case you were confused or on the fence about it. 

Butbacktothetopicathand, Essential AF? What’s that about? Hmm, I’m glad you asked because we’re going to find out together.  Tr3y is a Singer/Songwriter based out of Milwaukee,WI. He recently released a new video and song titled  “Essential AF” produced by Young Tarzan and himself. In Tr3y’s words, “This is a song that’s current to the pandemic we are dealing with right now but in a sexy RnB way!” He decided to switch up the conversation when it comes to the current state of the world. Why not? We need at least one moment to think of something else that is not so heavy but kind’ve related right? Ahhh, that’s where this song lies. I’m not gonna lie, you have to be one hell of a person if you “Essential AF” in his terms. (Shout out to all the real essential workers that worked faithfully through covid-19--y’all need more money for risking your lives fasho.) 

In this song, Tr3y is really tryna see his chick during quarantine. He opens the track with an audio clip of somebody’s president (cause he ain’t ours) insulting a reporter. I didn’t really understand the correlation but some stuff you just ignore when you don’t understand it so we’re going to move on. He goes on to just really pour out his love for this girl who he’s really risking his life for at this point but you know, like he said, he got his masks, his gloves and he on the way. Period. Is yo’ lil dip risking his/her life to see you right now? If they not, you know you got a little reevaluating to do. RIDE OR DIE hit differently now. 

Gon’ head and check the new R&B quarantine love song and send it to yo’ boo and slide on em’ SAFELY WHILE STILL PRACTICING THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY MEASURES.

RIP Aaliyah #RespectTheLegendary

Today marks 15 years since the passing of our Babygirl, Aaliyah.

On August 25, 2001, Aaliyah Haughton, along with eight others, were killed on a plane crash.

Aaliyah's music was genre-defying, relatable and inspired anyone and everyone to be there authentic-self at all times. Her soft and angelic voice over a Timberland beat is an iconic sound that made us move, her energy was felt and her presence was out of this world. And with three solid and breathtaking albums, two released movies, a killer fashion sense and countless other moves to be made; we all wanted to hear and see more from our Babygirl before she left us too soon.

As VIBE dubs this week, Aaliyah Week, CopyWrite wants you to vibe with some of our favorites from the singer. Watch below and let us know what you loved about the Detroit native.

We miss you Babygirl. #RespectTheLegendary

Rina - I Tried (Prod. Esmé)

Pretty much one word to describe this song from Milwaukee's R&B/soul singer Rina... DOPE!

With strong mixing and production from Esmé and Rina's soft and soulful voice singing away all of her emotions; we know that everything will be okay. "I Tried" is one out of two songs released on her SoundCloud but we can't help but anticipate more from this artist as time goes by. 

So chill and vibe out to "I Tried" below and let us know what you think of this lady of R&B. 

And in case you missed it, listen to her other single, "Temptation" below.

giving me that.. Prod. MEDASIN
