- Muni Long on silencing the haters with her success, and why getting personal is universal
Muni Long joined Audacy Atlanta V-103’s The Big Tigger Morning Show to catch up, and chop it up about everything from finding success despite the doubts and haters, what she’s been working on, her thoughts on disposable music, and more. LISTEN NOW: V-103's Big Tigger Morning Show: Muni Long After working and hustling and making record after record, Muni does believe she’s rightfully earned her spotlight and success, noting “It definitely feels like I'm supposed to be here, as I work for it.” And that remains true, whether or not haters agree. “There was a moment after ‘Hrs & Hrs’ when certain folks was like, ‘yeah, it's over for you… that record is dead,’ like at 100 million streams they said that.” But Muni lets the numbers speak for themselves, noting, “I just looked at it yesterday, its at 500 million, almost six.” Also admitting she doesn’t let the naysayers bring her down, if anything it makes her angry and acts as a motivator. When it comes to the opinions of her peers, in the form of GRAMMY nominations, Long finds that more encouraging than discouraging. “It’s always an encouragement to be acknowledged by your peers because this really is your peers voting,” she explained. “I vote, I'm a GRAMMY voter. So, to know that out of everything that came out that year, that people feel like what you contributed was significant, it’s always great, it’s a wonderful feeling.” Acknowledging that she “definitely would love to win,” pointing out to members of the Recording Academy that there’s still a chance to get those votes in and “keep the tradition alive and going, whether I get nominated or win or not.” After starting off as a songwriter, last time Muni caught up with Big Tigger, she expressed her desire to keep more of her writing for herself and focus on doing the work for her instead of somebody else. And while that still rings true, she has been open to taking on more collabs and features. “Other artists are reaching out, and that always is a great feeling, because that means that you're doing things that people want to be involved in, they wanna become a part of your story and your journey. So I've been doing a lot of features, which is great. And while it’s sort of the same effect, you’re writing for other people… at the same time, you get to partake in the festivities, which is what I love.” A part of her artistry that actually fits perfectly into her 10-year plan and desire to eventually teach and sign people, and help artists grow, Muni also made note of her want to clean up the business side of music, and set an example to help artists sustain and maintain in an industry she likened to quicksand. “At this point because it's self-cannibalizing, you can't sustain if everybody is trying to finesse everybody. Like it just takes the joy out of doing this. We have to remember why we're doing it and that God gave us these gifts not to take advantage of each other, but to share and to bless others.” Also sharing her thoughts on the music industry when it comes to, as Tigger refers to as the current trend of disposable music, Muni expressed, “I think the root of the issue and not just for R&B, just music in general is a lot of these artists don't know who they are. So they're just talking about the latest trend or they're following a trendy sound. But when you know who you are and you're able to do things because it resonates with you,” adding, “one of the things I I live by is — what’s most personal, is most universal. So when you're writing things that are personal to you, the human experience, I think that's what tends to transcend.” Throughout the entire chat Muni also discussed motherhood, if she hid her pregnancy, and shared an update on her separation. She also spoke on those Yolanda Adams look-alike comments and touring with Chris Brown , and more. To catch it, listen to the entire conversation above.
- Xscape will be 'stepping up to the plate' for upcoming 'Winterfest' performance in Atlanta
Xscape was in the building with Audacy’s Big Tigger Morning Show on V-103 in Atlanta this week discussing their upcoming Winterfest performance in the ATL on December 20, the re-emergence of girl groups in popular music, and a whole lot more. LISTEN NOW: Xscape discuss V-103's Winterfest 2024 and more “Once again, always excited to perform at home,” says Kandi Burress . “We get all our family, our friends, just people we grew up [with]… and then Atlanta always shows so much love, you know, Atlanta show up and show out every time.” Paying it forward to other emerging girl groups like Psiryn , OMG Girls , Young Niyah , and more, Burress believes “it's very important to bring girl groups back. I mean, we miss the harmony, we miss real vocals where everybody can sing in the group… and I think right now it's that era of girl groups coming back." "I feel like, realistically, record labels was just being cheap," Kandi says. "They didn't want to spend the money on girl groups because obviously, you know, you got three women glam for everybody. You know, it's a lot, but women deserve to make that impact.” Obviously there are “challenges with any group,” she adds. “Clearly male groups have challenges too on that part. But you know, I feel like the women, we just get a bad rap.” Looking ahead to their Winterfest performance, "Tiny" Cottle-Harris says fans can expect to see them all “stepping up to the plate, doing our thing… it's going to be energetic. It's always entertaining,” she explains. “We moving, we doing our thing, you know, we connecting.” Kandi adds, “I just want to make sure everybody knows that we definitely changing the show from what y'all just seen this past summer… don't think you gonna come and you're going to see the same show. It's going to be different.” Get your tickets now for V-103's WINTERFEST , the annual holiday concert this year featuring Hip-Hop and R&B stars Xscape , Bell Biv DeVoe , 112 ’s Q Parker and Friends , Next ’s R.L. , Carl Thomas , Soul for Real ’s Jase4Real and Silk at State Farm Arena on Friday, December 20.

- Jermaine Dupri discusses the 'So So R&B Experience' and what's missing in the genre
Jermaine Dupri joined Audacy Atlanta V-103’s Big Tigger Morning Show to talk all about his So So R&B Experience going down in Atlanta this weekend, his Brothas & Brews event aimed at getting Black men out to vote in the 2024 election, and more. LISTEN NOW: V-103's Big Tigger Morning Show with Jermaine Dupri aking place at the Wolf Creek Amphitheater in Atlanta, GA, on Saturday, October 12, Jermaine promises the So So R&B Experience, despite not being the previously proposed festival last year (that “people still want”), will be a concert filled with people “having a great time, partying… singing, and all of that.” This is hard to argue given the event's lineup, which includes Muni Long , DVSN , Eric Bellinger , VEDO , and Jermaine Dupri with a special guest, just to name a few. JD also delved into discussing the 2024 election while plugging his Brothas & Brews event aimed at getting Black men out to vote. A self-proclaimed true voting participant, Dupri expressed, “this is probably the first time in my life that I've heard how important it is for Black men to be at the front of this election and voting.” And in turn, feels imperative to “do my part to raise awareness of how important this is.” Noting that while he “can't make them go to the polls,” he can at least “bring awareness to it.” For the remainder of the conversation, the mogul/producer discussed the So So Def Internship, sharing what inspired him to bring it back, and what he hopes to achieve and accomplish. Catch it all in the clip above. For those who had a chance to catch the conversation with JD Live on V-103. The icon continued his chat with the Morning Show crew off air, to delve into what he thinks is missing in R&B music, from the church to R. Kelly ’s musicality . LISTEN NOW: Jermaine Dupri on what's missing in R&B Mentioning he noticed Jermaine’s recent Instagram activity talking about how church was missing from R&B , Big Tigger asked Durpi to elaborate. “These young kids just don't go to church,” JD said, “It's very simple, it’s not… like rocket science, it’s just a fact.” Noting “I listen to the consumers, I listen to the people, I listen to the comments, and people saying why R&B music ain't like it used to be.” Assuredly adding, “that’s one of the missing ingredients.” Imploring he’s only “expressing what’s missing” and “not here to condone,” Jermaine also spoke on his previous comments about R. Kelly ’s musical contributions being an example of that missing component. Expressing, “you cannot make cake without these missing ingredients, and R.Kelly was a very big part of the ingredients in teaching younger artists what R&B is supposed to sound like, and which way to go.” He continued, “So you don't have that teaching, and then you don't have these guys going to church and getting a free teaching… Where you can go… and your grandmama or somebody put you in the band. and some auntie or some uncle will teach you how to play piano, the drums, different instruments… It’s just a life-changing experience going there.” And while Durpi “didn't grow up in a church like that, “his grandmother “used to take me to the Church and I watched and I witnessed,” and despite “not growing up in a gospel church… having family that takes you, you see it with your own eyes, you still get to absorb that.” JD went on to share other thoughts on how he thinks we can get back to that sound, and how he’s doing his part with the So So Def Experience , plus a whole lot more.

- Yolanda Adams on bringing 'goodness' back, and the joy of hearing fans sing her songs in unison
Gospel songstress Yolanda Adams recently joined The Big Tigger Morning Show on Atlanta's V-103 to discuss her brand new album, Sunny Days -- featuring the single "Church Doors" -- and plenty more. LISTEN NOW: Yolanda Adams talks with The Big Tigger Morning Show “The tour is going phenomenally,” Yolanda gushes of her current live dates on The Reunion Tour alongside Fred Hammond , Marvin Sapp , Kirk Franklin , and The Clark Sisters . “First of all -- all of us on tour are so grateful and appreciative that folks still want to hear us,” she adds. “They still want to hear new music from us, or whatever we give them.” “The beauty is hearing 20 to 40,000 people sing your songs back to you,” Adams explains. “It's like, well, I really can just give the mic to anybody in the audience and let them sing! Because whether folks can sing or not, it's just a joy for them to know the music and then for us to know that it's touched them in such a way, that it's a part of their lives, and folks have testimonies of where they were, what happened when the music helped them… That's why we feel really grateful.” For those who have listened to her 2024 album Sunny Days and felt a little brighter at the end, Yolanda says that was exactly her intention. “The climate that we're living in right now is so full of vitriol and hatred that we've got to bring the sun back,” she says. “We've got to bring the goodness back. We've got to tap into the goodness of every person because in every person we pray that there's some goodness.” “That's why the music is very thoughtful, and very inspirational, and encouraging,” Adams adds, “because I don't want to ever have someone think that the climate that we're living in right now is the way that the world will be always. It has to start with us, with the platforms, making sure that people know, ‘Hey, you can change everything about your life when you make a decision to do the right thing and be the right person for the right situation.'” Also during her visit, Yolanda touches on the co-existence of Gospel and secular music, whether she and Pop artist Muni Long are actually related, how she keeps her beauty in check, and much more.

- Drake addresses fake friends that 'stab you in the back' during impromptu party speech

Listen to Drake Radio and more on the free Audacy app On Saturday night in Toronto, Drake took time to share words of caution regarding perceived friends who may “switch up” and “try to stab you in the back,” while adding, “my real friends, are definitely in the building,” according to a video posted to Instagram. “I’m going to tell you,” he continued, “you’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were your friends or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up.” “They might try to move funny with you. They might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you,” Drake, explained, likely referencing NBA stars LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan who supported Lamar on Instagram by singing along to his tracks during their ongoing feud . “You’ll come to that realization, wherever you’re at in life. You’ve probably been there and you’ll be there again," Drake added. "That’s how life is. Sometimes it’s you and you alone by yourself.”
- Childish Gambino tour cancelled for surgery: 'Need time out to heal'
Unfortunately for fans hoping to catch him on stage, rapper Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino has canceled the rest of his 2024 North American tour dates and his dates overseas to focus on his health. Listen to Audacy All New and more on the free Audacy app Glover shared the cancelation on his social channels just before the weekend hit, after first postponing his Childish Gambino New World Tour in order to focus on his health, and recently being hospitalized in order to undergo surgery. “After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” Glover revealed in his statement. “After being assesed [sic], it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.” Donald continues, “My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.” Finally, he adds, “I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.” At this time is no word regarding when Gambino's dates -- in celebration of his latest album, Bando Stone and the New World , a forthcoming film of the same name, and a re-release of his leaked 3.15.2020 album retitled ATAVISTA -- will be rescheduled,
- Halle Bailey and DDG split less than a year after welcoming son: 'Still best friends'
DDG and Halle Bailey are sadly going their separate ways, with the former announcing the split on social media, less than one year after the birth of their baby boy. Taking to his IG story on October 3 to make the announcement, the rapper wrote, “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared.” DDG and Halle first went public with their relationship in January 2022. Things became official a few months later on Instagram, when DDG wished Bailey a happy birthday in a now-deleted video. The couple welcomed their son Halo in December 2023, announcing his birth this past January. According to ELLE , speculations of a split between the two began to arise in April, when DDG and Halle allegedly unfollowed each other on Instagram and took down some of the photos they had together. Seemingly squashing the rumors, the two were most recently seen together enjoying themselves at Usher ’s Past Present Future Tour in Los Angeles just last week. With that in mind, DDG maintained, “Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other.” Going on to note that as he and Halle “focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve build and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.” Before asking his fans and followers for "understanding and support" as they "navigate this transition.” And concluding his message with, "Thank you for your love and encouragement -- DDG.” Bailey has yet to publicly speak out about the breakup, but you can check out DDG’s full statement regarding the split below.

- SZA is a bug, because she was tired of not being a bug: We’ll let her explain
SZA bugs out while eating spicy wings On the most recent episode of the fiery wing-slinging Hot Ones, SZA joined host Sean Evans to take on the gauntlet of chicken wings while dressed up like a bug, and it’s giving A Bug’s Life. Listen to SZA Radio and more on the free Audacy app “I’m wondering if we should even acknowledge the prosthetics,” Sean expressed to SZA, who said she was serving big bug eyes and antennas “for no other reason than I’m just tired of not being a bug.” However, something tells us there is another reason for SZA's buggy prothesis -- perhaps something to do with her new album promo. SZA has been teasing Lana all year, especially since announcing in March the project would shift from being a deluxe version of the highly acclaimed SOS , to a highly anticipated follow-up instead. From floating "Saturn" as a potential lead single in February, posting behind-the-scenes pics of some insect cosplay in May, followed by a full-on 44-second visual posted in June soundtracked by the unreleased track “Storytime,” featuring the lyrics, “I know you told stories about me, most of them awful. All of them true. Here’s some for u,” which is what SZA captioned the post. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C80J4HuvCfM/?igsh=MmhwMzJ3Nnc3ODFm As per usual, with every other guest in the Hot Ones hot seat, SZA chowed down on some super spicy chicken wings while answering some questions. For the first wing, Evans brought up how SZA shared how she sometimes approaches songwriting by freestyling, asking her how she goes about creating cohesive albums without a concept in mind. "I actually feel like a compliant is that my s*** is not cohesive. But I feel like I consider myself to be the glue… to myself… and to my sound, because I don’t have an idea. Like when I go into s*** I’m just like, ‘What does this beat make me wanna say?' And I just kinda say it.’” Noting that when she hears it back is when she comes to the realization of, “Oh I had no idea that that’s what that meant… or, I don’t know what she means to me until I say it, as I do it… I usually ask I’ll ask my engineer, I’ll be like, ‘Well that was crazy?’ And he’ll be like, ‘Kill your ex. Let it happen.’” Bringing up her quote to Billboard about how the success of "Kill Bill" almost pissed her off because it was so easy to write, Sean asked SZA if she’s the type of artist who has to suffer for her art to fully enjoy it. “I have a harder time enjoying anything if I don’t suffer for it,” SZA answered. “Which is why I have this mask on,” she quipped. “I feel like ‘nobody gets me’ is my goal of like — I can make a ballad, I can do X, Y, and Z — but they’re like… no but this other song that took you three seconds to write, as like a joke to your engineer… I don’t know, I guess I just need suffering as value." Segueing onto the topic of under-appreciation, with Evans noting he feels certain episodes of Hot Ones are underrated. He went on to ask SZA if there’s “ a project or a song that maybe deep down feel like was under-appreciated for what you put into it. Getting a bit choked up, not by the wings, but by the question, SZA said, “You know, people say a lot, like about Ctrl, they’re like ‘surely you know.’ But I think people forget, people really weren’t f***ing with it so crazy when it first dropped… Maybe if anything I’m just more surprised by how all of it played out. Not the way I thought it would, but more than I ever expected at the same time.” SZA went on to discuss work being your significant other, and wishing the music industry would be more of an honest relationship, the complexities and difficulties of touring, and creating a spectacle. From there the wings got spicier, and the questions kept coming — about everything from her past as a competitive gymnast and her love for trampoline parks, as well as her struggles with fame and distaste for the limelight, plus what she sees as the value of disguise. “This one brings me so much peace of mind,” SZA said cradling her prosthesis-covered face. “In the realm of like being a person is so daunting, and being in your own skin… just the freedom… and for no other reason of just tired of being, not a bug.” Suggesting Sean try out the bug prosthetic life “before this is all said and done.” It didn’t happen — just FYI. SZA also listed off which songs suck her back into the state of when she wrote them while performing them — which includes, “Nobody Gets Me,” “20 Something,” “Drew Barrymore,” “Normal Girl,” and “Broken Clocks.” She also revealed if she actually makes those recipes she asks for on TikTok, while sweating from the “hottest hot sauce in the world,” wing #8 doused in "Da Bomb Beyond Insanity," and chatted about what it takes to secure a posthumous verse from somebody like Ol' Dirty Bastard . To catch it all, watch SZA’s entire Hot Ones episode below. https://youtu.be/073AQxDKoi4
