Stream Trevor Jackson’s New Album ‘Rough Drafts Pt. 1’

Trevor Jackson has released his new LP, Rough Drafts Pt. 1, on Born Art/EMPIRE.

According to Jackson, Rough Drafts was inspired by the idea of being a work in progress and that as humans we are all aspiring to become the best or final version of ourselves.

The 15-track offering — preceded by “NightTime” and “Apocalypse” — features guest appearances from inspirational rapper Lecrae (“All I Am”) and Jackson’s brother Iyn Jay (“27:17” and “Anakin”).

Rough Drafts is the follow-up to Jackson’s 2015 mixtape, In My Feelings. 

He is currently supporting Justine Skye on her Ultraviolet Tour, which kicked off this week in Washington, D.C.

Jackson has an exciting year ahead of him. Aside from his role in Freeform’s Grown-ish, which was renewed for a second season, Jackson will also star as Youngblood Priest in the upcoming remake of Superfly. The film, directed by Director X, is produced by Joel Silver and rapper Future. It is set to premiere this summer.

Stream Tinashe’s New Album ‘Joyride’

After several delays, Tinashe has finally released her sophomore album, Joyride. The album consists of 13 tracks with appearances from Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana, Little Dragon, Future and Offset.

The 25-year-old singer shared with Vulture what she took away from the album’s delay. “It pushed me to create the version of the album that is coming out now,” she said. “I made the mistake of even talking about the project too soon. When I look back on the entire journey of it, I’m very thankful for the time that it did take. It was important that it ended up taking as long as it did.”

Tinashe added, “There were times along the way were there were creative discrepancies, but I’m happy to say that this project is all me. Everything from the cover art, to the sequencing, to the number of seconds in between the tracks, that’s me.”

Joyride is the follow-up to Tinashe’s debut album, Aquarius, which released in 2014.
