(R&B Spotlight) It's always a privilege to spotlight a heavy hitter in this R&B game. Singer Keith Sweat started his musical career as a member of a Harlem band called "Jamilah" in 1975. <----- Oh but you knew that tho...

Check out his song/lyrics to his titled track "Hood Sex" off his 'Ridin' Solo' album.


Ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah

When she put that thang on me and like some kind of voodoo
I cannot fool anything, baby's always got me
Anything, girl, got me on anything

And even though she from the hood
She treat her brother right plus the sex is good
I like how she calls me 'Daddy' when we're sexin'
She holds it down for me and makes me feel like a man

I'm for loving it where the players play
Gotta a lotta homies from up around the way
I got a thang for them girl that be bringin' that
Hood sex, hood sex, hood sex

I'm for loving it where the players play
Gotta a lotta homies from up around the way
I got a thang for them girl that be bringin' that
Hood sex, hood sex, hood sex

You know that girl's got a fatty and she knows it
That's why I'm always lacing her with diamonds and roses
Maybe not to you but to me she's everything
Oh, oh, oh, whoo, whoo

And even though she from the hood
She treat her brother right plus the sex is good
I like how she calls me 'Daddy' when we're sexin'
She holds it down for me and makes me feel like a man

I'm for loving it where the players play
Gotta a lotta homies from up around the way
I got a thang for them girl that be bringin' that
Hood sex, hood sex, hood sex

Ain't nothin' like a hood girl, she be rockin' my world
Urban kinda street girl, better than them suburban girl
'Cause I give her my paper, she be makin' it shake up
Then I put it to her when my, my baby-maker, maker

Nothin' like a hood girl
She knows just how to rock my world
Ain't nothin' like a hood girl
She knows how
And I like the way she put the thang on me

I'm for loving it where the players play
Gotta a lotta homies from up around the way
I got a thang for them girl that be bringin' that
Hood sex, hood sex, hood sex

I'm for loving it where the players play
Gotta a lotta homies from up around the way
I got a thang for them girl that be bringin' that
Hood sex, hood sex, hood sex

(Ask Taz)

Dear Taz, (The Street Therapist)

I want to carefully lay out my story for you so that I dont steer anyone and I want to be objective and honest here - since you dont know me and I have no reason to embellish or lie if I want some honest feedback...

I met someone 10 months ago...

Me: 36, middle-class, daughter 14, twice divorced, rarely date
Her: 43, upper-middle class/upper class, Newly divorced after 10 year marriage, 8 year old triplets, twice divorced

We met online while trying to coordinate a local meet up event. We texted and talked for about a month before meeting for our first date and everything was great. We really hit it off and quickly fell for each other. We talked at length about our pasts and were open and honest with each other. For the most part. At the time she had just gotten out of a 10 year marriage where her ex was verbally abusive to her and had started physically abusing the kids. He had also started spending time with prostitutes. So she had him arrested and left him. He lost all custody rights and pays considerable child and spousal support.

At the time we met she was seeing someone in our general circle/community of friends but swore they were only friends. I would find out later they were much more than friends and she just never wanted to admit it. She claimed he was a "friend-with-benefits" - someone she spent time with after her terrible divorce. Her self-esteem was in the toilet and I bought into it. She admitted it was a mistake and I believed her - but she still lied about it. And that gave me pause. She DID stop seeing him.

After a few months we agreed to be an exclusive couple...

A few times I caught her lying about very small things. I want to say that I believe in my heart that she has never cheated on me but she has always seemed to lack some integrity and compulsively lies...(always about little things)

Throughout our first few months together I would find out about her lies - like she would call or text old guy friends while out with her friends. At one point I caught her sex-ting lewd photos with some guy she met through Facebook. She lied about it at first but then when I confronted her she seemed devastated and embarrassed by her behavior and we worked through it. As best I can tell – that behavior ended.

As far as our families go - I treat her triplets like gold and she has always been great to my daughter. During a recent death that I had in my family - she traveled with me and was very supportive. She has always been very supportive and I say to my friends that she "treats me better than anyone I’ve ever been with"

Another growing concern I have about her: she has serious health issues. She is hypo-glycemic – meaning she has to be careful about eating sugar and can have her blood sugar drop dramatically if she doesn’t take her meds or eat properly. She has continually neglected this and often has to have me help her because her blood sugar drops etc. She also broke her back 2 years ago and has a huge spinal infusion. She takes pain meds for that but I believe that is under control. She also has other health issues like iron deficiency etc. She takes considerable medications every day. I do not take medicine for anything.

During our rough spots over the last 9 months – we have been to individual therapy and couples therapy. We have also attended co-dependency and couples workshops. We both feel we have past issues and personal issues to work through. I’m working hard on myself and she is working on herself as well (although admittedly not as hard).

I had been divorced and mostly single for about 5 years and felt I was pretty secure. I found out through therapy that I’m thoroughly co-dependent.

At about 6 months we decided to consider moving in together. Why I hesitated you ask? Well I thought it was a little early and I have a serious problem with her kids. They are hell. 8 year old upper class kids who are spoiled rotten and were abused by their father – they are out of control. I describe our daily routine (when I am with them) as “chaotic”. Not to say there aren’t good times – there are – but it’s wearing me down. I see my gf try really hard with them and it helps me to stay in the relationship – but I see things she doesn’t see and I’m really worried about how these kids are going to turn out. But she works with them to respect me and we spend lots of time working on respecting each other and having discipline and rules in place. I see these as very positive things – they just don’t seem to be working. And I’m losing my patience. We still live apart.

Over the past 8-9 months I have struggled with a lot of things about her and her family. And I feel like I should leave. But every time I consider leaving - something gets me to stay. I know this sounds cliche but let me explain. Early on when I had suspicions about us I started going to therapy and also went to a co-dependency seminar - which we BOTH attended. I learned that I was wrong in some of my suspicions and behaviors - because I was doing things like projecting my own insecurities onto her etc. So I stayed. Other times my suspicions were legitimate and she apologized profusely and we worked through stuff. But I still lost trust for her due to the lies.

She admitted in therapy recently that she was depressed and needed some help. She had some depression earlier in life and knew that she was having it again. Mostly due to her terrible marriage. She has no motivation since her recent divorce and can’t seem to “get her shit together” – this includes keeping up with her house, keeping and making crucial doctor appointments, paying bills on time etc. She also desperately needs to go back to school or find a job so she can have health insurance and income when her alimony runs out etc. And she isn’t getting it done.

Where I stand now:

I’m starting to resent her kids. And I’m getting a little tired of trying to fix them. I don’t even want to be around them – and that’s sad because they really love me (as much as 8 year olds with a missing father can).

I’m frustrated with her because she doesn’t want to take ownership of her health (health is very important to me and she claimed it was to her also) – she cant do things she wants to do often because of her back issues. Also – some of the pills she takes make her have insomnia so we are not on the same sleep schedules and she often sleeps until noon. I just don’t see her as a healthy person. And the kicker? She used to be! She did crossfit and worked out non-stop – at one point in the last few years she lost 150 lbs and was simply stunning. Now – she seems to be letting herself go again – and it isn’t just a weight issue – it’s terrible for her health. I have talked with her at length about my concerns with this – even adding her to my gym membership and it’s been mostly futile…
I feel like I’m failing and I’m done trying to “fix” her – this I’ve learned through my co-dependency therapy – but I fear she can’t help herself anymore and that will doom us. I’m ready to walk away but I feel like a failure – because I’ve seen what kind of women she has been in the past and what kind of women she can be. And she HAS made some progress – I’ve seen it! And I see her WANT to do better - but my therapist warned me that “her recovery is a long road” and I’m starting to believe it.

I recently read a book called “Emotional Bullshit” by Carl Alasko and it has really opened my eyes. I’ve started to re-evaluate my Core Needs and what is acceptable and what is not. I’ve also looked long and hard at myself and how I’m contributing to my co-dependency and “enabling” my girlfriend.

In my heart – my gut – I know this relationship is doomed but I can’t bring myself to end it and that
makes me feel weak and scared. Not where I want to be. I keep feeling like if she could be that person I’ve seen her be – the person I’ve seen glimpses of – we would be an amazing couple – but I just don’t feel that’s going to happen.

Sorry for the super long post – it was therapeutic…

Dear SMFH,

Sorry you were going through all that. I have been through some of your experiences about co dependant relationships and holding on in hopes they can change, constant lies and betrayal. Me personally of course she is going to give all that access and be an open book to win you back but in my experiance once they have you back in time it goes back to the way it is. Once a liar always a liar and especially at her age she obviously can't change. I think your doing the right thing by leaving and stay strong with it. You still have time to find a great life partner so dont give up hope. This woman is choosing to live this un healthy way of living and not change it (setting aside her injuries) and you can't let her bring you down.

We all deserve to be happy. You tried, were forgiving and patient but now its time to walk the walk. I was patient, forgiving and willing as well but the damage kept building up to where I lost all feelings for her period and started to hate her after a while. Walk now before all that occurs. Do not let her sadness and efforts make you feel guilty. You have been a victim long enough.


(Ask Taz)

Dear Taz, (The Street Therapist)

I have a need for some advice.

I was recently dumped by the girl I have been seeing for the last couple months. I met her at work. She'd had a crush on me and I one on her ... and when I found out she liked me, I asked her out and things were overall great.

And yes, she's a single mother with a nearly 8 month old daughter. And she's also in her final quarter of college.

Anyway, she told me she wanted to take it slow. And we did. Well, things naturally heated up. She later told me she had "strong feelings" for me and also said she agreed with me that we would probably be together for a long time. She was previously in an awful, abusive relationship and I helped her reclaim part of herself... she told me she loved experiencing things with me, and missed me.

She had even agreed to accept a key to my apartment.

I told her over text that I was falling in love with her. She said, over text, "WOW ... I mean... wow"

I back peddled a little and said "I'm just trying to say I have very strong feelings for you."

And she replied, "I know "

And she still called me "babe" and was cute and romantic with me after that.

And then school got super stressful with midterms. And she suddenly got a little more distant. But I figured it was because of studying (which she said it was.)

And then out of the blue, she turned COLD on me. On Monday, she suddenly told me that we weren't even officially dating and described our entire relationship as "just ah handful of dates." She said two months was no big deal and balked at the fact I had told her I was falling in love with her.

She told me she was upset with me because when she walked into work, many employees asked her if she had wished me happy birthday... and she felt "overwhelmed." She said it wasn't appropriate that I had talked with people about us dating while at work ... I should have known better, but I was just so smitten and excited that I was with her, I couldn't help it.

She also said she didn't trust me not to push it too far since had she told me she wanted to take it slow more than once ... I couldn't be trusted NOT to do that again. But .... I was confused because of the "serious feelings" and "long future together" discussions we'd had.

I don't know what to do. I guess I'll leave her alone. I think she just got freaked out. She freaked out on me a little at the end of March... but later apologized and said it was stress. But nothing like that.

I wonder if she'll ever come back?
 
Dear Heartbroken Fool,
 
*scratches head like WTF???* Falling in love with someone after 2 months is just plain crazy. You scared her off on top of being too needy. It's over homie. <----- Face it. Time to move on with your life. She is a single mom dude. Thank yourself that it didn't work out. Do yourself a favor and go on a no contact spree and move on.


(Relationship/Sex)  I will break down many common reasons why we tend to believe being friends or communicating with your ex after a breakup is healthy or normal. I hope everyone finds this useful!

The Big Question: Why? Why does my ex want to be friends? Why do I want to be friends with my ex?
Answer: After a breakup, there is a huge hole in your life. You likely went from spending many hours a week together to none. Humans are creature of habit, and when a habit breaks we seek to restore or compensate for it. Imagine if you had another man/woman you could to crawl into bed with after a breakup. You probably would, wouldn't you? That is you filling the void; and a reason why its not your 'ex' that you want to stay in touch with, but anyone who will fill the gap that was your ex.

Reason 1: I actually have a lot of good reasons to stay in touch...
Truth: No. You have a lot of excuses, not reasons.

Reason 2: This person was really important in my life, why wouldn't we stay friends? We mean a lot to each other.
Truth: They were really important. If your ex is the one trying to be friends, it's not that they actually want you back, its that they are having a hard time getting over the relationship. The same for vice versa. And don't kid yourself, if you stayed friends you wouldn't have the same standards you keep as with any other friend. You are subconsciously seeing yourself as with this person still.

Reason 3: I need closure, I need to stay in touch to get over him/her.
Truth: Nope, closure isn't provided by your ex, it is provided by you, through grieving and accepting your loss.

Reason 4: I need to find out why he/she dumped me, -Or- I need to let him/her know why I dumped them.
Truth: What does it matter? You can't change your ex's way of thinking. There was something incompatible about you two and it's not going to change overnight. Hearing or giving a laundry list of reasons for being dumped or dumping them is not going to get you two back together. It will only make you become more insecure.

Reason 5: If we stay friends we may get back together again.
Truth: It could happen, but it will fail again. Without time alone to grieve, you are both bound for the same fate. You are each continuing to pick the scabs of the relationship, never letting them completely heal. You are also likely to be self destructive during this time; you are probably trying to 'fix' everything thing that was wrong to make your ex happy. This type of behavior leads to resentment. With resentment, you are incapable of loving. You are not yourself.

Reason 6: I need to return some items or retrieve some.
Truth: Like what? Your underwear? These exchanges should occur within the first day or two. Anything that you 'need' after that time probably wasn't really 'needed', and is rather an excuse to see your ex. Any gifts you received or gave should remain with the recipient. A gift does not belong to the giver, but the receiver. This type of behavior could further damage yourself. What if they have already moved on and you run into their new mate? See what I mean?

Reason 7: We had great sex, and want to be friends with benefits now.
Truth: Again, not accepting your loss. You are probably assuming it is still exclusive, which really means you still see it as a relationship; which it is not. This behavior is likely to lead to confusion, insecurity (over pondering what they are doing when you are not together), and believe it will lead back to a relationship. Also, it prevents you from moving on. You aren't going to find your next partner while still sleeping with your ex.

Reason 8: We work at the same place, live in the same neighborhood, go to the same school, we have children, etc.
Truth: This may be, but it does not imply you need to have consistent generic communication. If you work at the same place, keep conversation brief and work related. If same school, its ok to say hi passing each other in the hallway. Have kids together? Keep the conversation in relation to them. Anything outside of these boundaries is an excuse to keep in contact with your ex, and again, preventing you from grieving and moving on.

Conclusion: Play out any of these in your head. How do honestly picture them going? That's right, not well, in fact it may even make it worse. Do you really believe your ex will magically become 'the one' by staying friends with them? Will they magically get that sex drive back? Trust you around your friends? Be more open about their feelings? Spend more time with you? The answer is no, and if so, only temporarily until they become comfortable again. If it hurts when you do that, don't do it.

Closing Statement: Its hard, but is necessary. DO NOT CONTACT OR RESPOND TO YOUR EX!!!

(R&B Spotlight) Singer/actor Mishon brings his brand new single “Victoria’s Secret.”

The young singer/actor says that "Victoria's Secret was inspired by a real-life situation. All men come across that one girl who has that mystique about them, that makes you want to find out what she's really about. I wanted to find a slick and sexy way to touch on this experience. So my writing partner Kingpen and I came up with the concept "Victoria's Secret". We reached out to my hommie Young Tre (15-year-old producer) for a track and once the vocals hit the track this was the result.”

Mishon's 10-track “Dorm Room Music” EP, will hit the web on Tuesday, May 1, 2012.

(Ask Taz)

Dear Taz, (The Street Therapist)

This is my first time asking anyone outside my immediate friends or family for some advice. I fear it will be a long one so please bare with me.
 
I have been with my girlfriend for about 4 1/2 years. We began dating while we were both in college. Early on in our relationship, I disclosed that I had struggled with pornography before, although did not say to what extent. Things were going well then, although she was always somewhat touchy about the pornography subject. When I graduated and moved away to law school we maintained a long distance relationship. Within a few months of moving away, I fell back into pornography. Not only this, but I began browsing and responding "Casual Encounter" ads on Craigslist. I talked with other woman in chat rooms and had cybersex. While I never had any intention of meeting any of these woman in the real world, I full acknowledge that what I did was adultery.
This story is common enough that you know how it goes: she eventually discovered my emails, and the truth came out. I was not strong enough at first to come out with the whole truth, so it slowly came out over the period of weeks and months. We had fights over the phone several times a day. Needless to say, this just about destroyed her and I. She had been cheated on (in the real life way) by two boyfriends in the past. I installed adult content-blocking software on my computer, and I began seeing a therapist at my school's counseling center. We made it through this together, although looking back I am not sure if it was because she believed I could change or if neither of us were strong enough to leave the other.
Flash forward to about nine months later. She came to live with me at law school. While it seemed like we repaired a lot of the damage, there were still a lot of outbursts at me. She would often question me about the details of the events that took place, and I would often find her going through my internet history. 90% of the time things were great, but another 10% of the time I felt like I was living with someone who hated me. Occasionally, our fights would get bad enough that she would become violent with me. I am a big dude and used to play football, so I was never "knocked out" or anything like that, but she did sometime leave me with marks on the skin.
From then to the present things have gotten better, but we have never fully recovered. I have had a couple relapses (looked at pictures of girls on Facebook, etc.), but nothing that rose to the level of what I did before. But the trust has never fully come back. I have, however, learned a lot more about myself and gained a lot of self-esteem back from the incident. I have come to realize that I will always be tempted by the image of the opposite sex, but that its my behavior that matters. I cant always choose what I see, but I can choose not to stare, or not to click one link further on my computer, etc. I discussed this with her today, as what happened 2 1/2 years ago came up again. She became so enraged at me that she struck out at me again. She says that I am a pervert, and that she can never trust me.
I really do love this girl, but I don't know if things are ever going to get better. I desperately want her to trust me again, but I don't know if either of us believes she ever will. Moreover, I don't want to be in a household where violence is used in disputes. I am nearly 26, and I am about to graduate from law school. I have a great job lined up in a major city, and up until now I have thought we were in this together. But after today, the doubts are really strong. We had discussed marriage recently, but after today it makes that seem so far away.
I'll leave it there. What should I do?
 
Dear Porn Addict,
 
First let me say that I really do appreciate you for coming to me for advice in your time of need. Now let's get it ------------> Pay Attention...
 
Okay... this is about her now and her own obsession of not being able to get past what you did. You've taken the necessary steps that will keep you on the straight and narrow but she is addicted to wanting to punish you.

Your relationship WILL NEVER last. There will come a day when you will have been beaten up enough to finally get the courage to leave her and that day will either be before you leave for your new job (hopefully, for your sake) or after you leave and she lays a guilt trip on you for uprooting her and "ruining" her life.

Don't let her do this to you anymore. I suggest that you go to couples councelling if you are not yet strong enough to leave her. I also suggest that you tell her outright (whether you stay with her or breakup) that she does not have the right to keep you while punishing you as well. Either she forgives you or she doesn't (or can't) and you finish the relationship.

I also suggest that you do not let her guilt you out any more about this. Porn is an alternative to being celebate while you were away. No one should expect total abstinance. Doing so is unrealistic. Although I find camming to cross the line because you (the general you) can indeed become emotionally connected if you keep "seeing" the same woman.

Your gf is a psycho. Heed that red flag. If you're looking for permission to leave her then you have mine.

I have songs talking about my favorite song on the radio, go DJ, you know it’s all different topics. It’s not just focused on a sexual theme, it’s just that the sound is sexy.

(Entertaining News) There's a lot of talk in the social media world about Facebook buying Instagram for $1 Billion. Don't know how I really feel about that or even believe that it's actually any truth to this. SMDamnH now that they let Android users get on this is the shit that happens. LOL... So while they collect a Billion, us Instagram users collect a cool $0. <----- That's that bullshit I be talking about.

Here's a statement from co founder/CEO of Instagram himself ------->

When Mike and I started Instagram nearly two years ago, we set out to change and improve the way the world communicates and shares. We’ve had an amazing time watching Instagram grow into a vibrant community of people from all around the globe. Today, we couldn’t be happier to announce that Instagram has agreed to be acquired by Facebook.

Every day that passes, we see more experiences being shared through Instagram in ways that we never thought possible. It’s because of our dedicated and talented team that we’ve gotten this far, and with the support and cross-pollination of ideas and talent at a place like Facebook, we hope to create an even more exciting future for Instagram and Facebook alike.

It’s important to be clear that Instagram is not going away. We’ll be working with Facebook to evolve Instagram and build the network. We’ll continue to add new features to the product and find new ways to create a better mobile photos experience.

The Instagram app will still be the same one you know and love. You’ll still have all the same people you follow and that follow you.You’ll still be able to share to other social networks. And you’ll still have all the other features that make the app so fun and unique.

We’re psyched to be joining Facebook and are excited to build a better Instagram for everyone.

Best,
Kevin

CEO, Instagram

(R&B News) Omarion, lead vocalist to the boy band B2K, put out a photo of himself J-Boog and Lil’ Fizz chillin’ in the studio.

It’s been like damn eight years since they fell off the music scene. But after a long hiatus from the scene and a few scandals surrounding management/member relations (Raz-B), is the gang ready to step up for a major comeback?!

Although, no word yet has been said on what this reunion of the now matured heartthrobs means, but Omarion did caption the photo with “Do remember.”

How do you feel about B2K making a comeback?

(SMFH Files) A four-year-old boy Isaiah Nicholas, is in a coma after being shot in the head by a man who fired on a group of children playing. <------ SMFuckingH at people.

He was holding his mother’s hand while riding in the ambulance in Houston, Texas, the young boy was saying "Mamma, I don't want to die."

Isaiah is in critical condition at the city’s Hermann Memorial Children’s Hospital.

Isaiah’s grandmother Lisa Ceasar, said she heard arguing outside at about 5pm and walked out to her porch and that’s when a man started shooting. The 47-year-old <------ (Wait Hol on... is it me or grandmothers are getting younger and younger by the years?) said the man was aiming at the porch where she stood and a game room where six children, including Isaiah, were playing.

She said: "It all happened so fast, but I went into shock. I saw that man shooting up my house and the bullets flying."

Ms. Ceasar ran inside and found Isaiah, her oldest grandson, with a gunshot wound to the head and his two-year-old brother, Adrian Nicholas, next to him covered in blood. The children and adults at Ms. Ceasar’s house in northeast Houston were just about to eat dinner.

Along with three of her grandchildren, Ms. Ceasar and her husband Robert were in the house as well as their daughter Rosharone Nicholas, whose friend brought her own three children. The daughter’s friend reportedly left the home to go to the store and the suspect is said to have followed her back to the house, where an argument began.

But what's even more crazy is that Houston Police Department said the suspect is known, but still at large.

(Entertaining News) According to a few media outlets, Apple just might be releasing an all-new iPhone 5 as soon as this June.

Mashable reports:

The recruiter suggested the iPhone would be headed our way this summer in an interview with TV Tokyo’s “World Business Satellite” broadcast Monday.

In the interview, a reporter asked the recruiter how many people the company was looking to hire, and he answered “We’re looking for 18,000 employees … for the fifth-generation phone.”

The reporter went on to clarify that the recruiter was talking about the iPhone 5, and the recruiter added that the next generation of the handset will come out in June.

The iPhone 5 or, if Apple maintains the naming scheme it started with the iPad, the “new iPhone” will actually be the 6th iPhone released by the company.

(Entertaining News) The beautiful singer RiRi graces the cover of ELLE Magazine, where she speaks on Chris Brown. Check out what she says ----->

On her breakup with Chris Brown: “It gave me guns. I was like, well, fuck. They know more about me than I want them to know. It’s embarrassing. But that was my opening. That was my liberation, my moment of bring it. […] Now you know that, so you can say what you want about it. I don’t have anything to hide.”

On the backlash over their reconciliation:
“The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently. It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it. People end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that’s all right. Because tomorrow I’m still going to be the same person. I’m still going to do what I want to do.”

On having kids: “It could be tomorrow. It could be 20 years from now. I just feel like when the time is right, God will send me a little angel. But first, of course, I have to find a man. I mean, there’s a very important missing piece to the puzzle here!”

On finding that man: “I feel like it’s hard for everybody! I don’t think it has anything to do with being famous. There’s just a major drought out there. […] But I just need to find the person who balances me out, because then things like my schedule won’t matter. I’ve done it before, so I know I can do it again.”

(R&B News) R&B singer/songwriter/producer Tank has re-titled his album from "Savior" to "This Is How I Feel."

Tank released a statement saying "The whole album is catered to the women, period. From 'Compliments' to 'Next Breath' to 'When I Lost You'...that's what the whole entire album is. To get the woman back to the place where she feels like she is the most important thing in the world to us."

He continues: "I wasn't trying to find a trendy record to just get hot in the club and be hot on mainstream radio, I actually wanted to do an R&B record that said something, from lyrics to beats to melodies; everything."


"This Is How I Feel" drops on May 8 via Atlantic Records.
