According to Tamra Simmons, one of the executive producers of the Docuseries, this evidence of sexual abuse charged against R. Kelly has gone way back to two decades.

‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ the Docuseries, has been watched by millions of people around the globe, as young women tell their story of how they survived a sexual assault from the celebrated RnB singer, R. Kelly— A name his ex-wife would like to separate from his real name, Robert Kelly.

According to his ex-wife, Robert Kelly is the devil. She says this to remind us of how both Robert and R. Kelly are completely different personas. That has been the experience of these young women, once they meet, in this case, Robert Kelly. They realize he’s not as they see him to be. Most of them, in the Docuseries, described him as funny, nice and caring. But, according to them, when they enter his house (in order words, his life), he’s completely a different man. They’re quick to notice the difference. That is, R. Kelly, the celebrated RnB star is not the same as Robert Kelly.

What these young women are trying to point to the rest of the world is who Robert Kelly is. But his management team does otherwise. In a statement sent to Variety on 20th April 2018, his management team said, and I quote: “Kelly’s music is part of American and African-American culture that should never and will never be silenced. We will vigorously resist this attempted public lynching of a black man who has made extraordinary contributions to our culture.” Rightly so, they’re resisting every attack on R. Kelly’s personal life simply by pointing us to his musical contributions.

We know what’s true of his contributions to the American culture, but do we know the truth of what has been leveled against him? BBC Journalist Ben Zand has taken the step to investigate some allegations leveled against him. What keeps resurfacing is the number of lies he has told the public. He fabricated a fake marriage document to marry a 15-year-old Aaliyah and denied ever sleeping with a 14-year-old girl in a sex video, when in fact one of his “prisoners” testified he did. He’s also into brainwashing these young women so they never return to their families.

Michael McCrudden on his YouTube channel revealed what one parent actually said after she met her daughter for a long time. Here’s what the parent had to say: ‘‘It was as if she was brainwashed. She looked like a prisoner— it was horrible. I hugged her and hugged her. But she just kept saying she’s in love, and R. Kelly is the one who cares for her.” Why would R. Kelly brainwash a young woman to say these type of things about him? Is it love that he wants? Come to think of it, R. Kelly is loved by many in the world. This is R. Kelly we’re talking about! Isn’t the love shown by his fans enough? One would think it is. Perhaps this is why the world is still in a state of shock.

Out Now: Tymain Robbins Releases Album ‘Fashionably Late’

Tymain Robbins Releases Album ‘Fashionably Late’

North Carolina emcee and creative Tymain Robbins reveals his newest album ‘Fashionably Late’ September 29th which is a testament and journey for him to showcase not only his story but also his amazing talent in curating music. The main story of my upcoming album revolves around self-discovery and personal growth. Each track is a chapter in this narrative, with themes of overcoming, determination, and finding one’s true purpose. Fans of artists like J. Cole, Nas, and Jay-Z should find solace in Tymain Robbins.
 

“I also watched this Russ interview where he quoted something from John Mayor. He mentioned, “if you wait too long to drop your own songs you’re late to your own party”. That saying really stuck with me,” Tymain said. He continued with, “I’m an artist who has held on to years of music trying to create the perfect project, and it’s caused me to not drop much. The interview made me realize that during this time I’ve forced myself to be late to my accomplishments, celebrations, current fans enjoying new music, and new fans discovering me. So, I decided that if I’m late to my party then I at least need to arrive in fashion.”
 

The overall LP is based on a diverse amount of topics coming from the words of Tymain himself.  The tracks that are the focus on this project are “Fashionably Late,” “Denim Tears,” and “Endless Possibilities.” “Fashionably Late” is about coming back after a hiatus and being better than ever due to the amount of work you put in over the off-season. “Denim Tears” plays on the title of the project, is filled with confidence and this song is about the embodiment of everything in your genes.  “Endless Possibilities” is about overcoming adversity and finding strength within ourselves. It’s one of those, “if I can do it, so can you” records.
 

His recent Rolls Royce activation event is an example of how he extends his creativity to outside the studio. The Rolls Royce listening event was inspired by the luxurious and sophisticated nature of the album. “I wanted the event to match the grandeur of the music and provide fans with a unique and memorable experience,” he said. “The Rolls Royce symbolizes both success and class, which aligns with the album’s themes of ambition and self-improvement. I really just wanted to do something different that I haven’t seen before.”

6LACK Releases Two New Songs
Hot on the heels of an explosive run, the groundbreaking artist 6LACK releases two thrilling new songs today via LVRN/Interscope Records ahead of his first headlining tour in over six years. The exhilarating track “Homicide” sees both 6LACK and singer / songwriter Jessie Reyez coming together after many years of friendship and deep admiration for one another.
Here, the two artists breathe life into the complexities of intense love, infatuation, and the synergy of the two, painting a portrait of a fatal tango between two lovers. The strong, years-long bond between the two artists is almost palpable through the track, as it tastefully bridges their equally compelling vocals together. The stirring track “Mean It” chronicles a moving confessional and showcases 6LACK’s unmatched dexterity through a striking vast sonic terrain that demonstrates why he remains one of the most pivotal artists in music today.
Listen HERE.
 
Additionally, 6LACK will be kicking off his colossal new Since I Have A Lover world tour on October 1st in Portland. The tour will span across North America and Europe with over 40 dates and with support from an array of dynamic artists including Mereba, SPINALL, QUIN, Jordan Ward, and Sadboi throughout the run – full dates below. The trek will serve as 6LACK’s highly anticipated return to the stage after an over 6-year touring hiatus.
The extraordinary run will see the beloved artist bring to life for the first time his critically acclaimed album Since I Have A Lover in what will undeniably be a one-of-a-kind moving moment for attendees. The live shows will expand on the healing journey that 6LACK set out to convey with the project. An intimate one that both sheds light on the highs and lows of his life, and pulls from his firsthand experiences with mental health, recovery, self-improvement, and love.
Pronounced “Black,” the three-time GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum selling artist has brilliantly captured a voice of a generation through his dynamic art for years now. Born and raised in Zone 6 of Atlanta, 6LACK exploded onto the scene with his breakout debut FREE 6LACK album in 2016, cementing his insatiable, singular sound. He was later catapulted into stardom in 2018 with the arrival of his critically acclaimed album, East Atlanta Love Letter, which hit No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
The revered artist has amassed over 7.8 billion global streams across platforms while also giving the world some of the biggest hits from the past decade through explosive collaborations with some of today’s most beloved artists including J. Cole, Future, Selena Gomez, Young Thug, Timbaland, Normani, Isaiah Rashad, Rita Ora, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Khalid, Jessie Reyez, Nao and many more. Most recently, his colossal collaboration with Lil Tjay on the song “Calling My Phone” earned him a No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and hit No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track has since reached platinum status and was brought to life through a moving performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
