This week in hip-hop we have a rapper who goes by Russ coming to the NRG Arena! Russ is a rapper from New Jersey who started releasing music on his soundcloud in 2011. I did some research and I saw he has 12 albums on Apple Music. I have never listened to any of them before, but I did come across his soundcloud page a long time ago, I just never listened to the music. I’m familiar with his name, just not his music. I think it’s very commendable for someone who’s not a mainstream artist to put out the many albums. To me it shows that he really loves what he’s doing. I wouldn’t think of him to be a mainstreamed artist because I’ve never heard him on any radio stations but maybe some people have. He has had a few songs hit the billboard hot 100 charts though. I might just be sleep on Russ! I’ll have to check his music out, and give y’all an update. If you are a fan of Russ, tickets are still being sold to his show on the ticketmaster website. The RUSS: I SEE YOU TOUR PART 2, is happening this Saturday, October 27th at 9 p.m.

Another rapper will be nearby this week. SHE won’t exactly be in Houston, but she’ll be in Huntsville at Sam Houston State University performing at the 15th Annual Blu Dynasty Homecoming party. Yes, I said SHE, MEGAN THEE STALLION will be performing at Sam Houston this Saturday, October 27th! I will definitely be in attendance! I’m a huge fan! I first discovered Megan on twitter. She was in the Houston Cypher video with some other local rappers. Yes she is from Houston! Then I heard one of her songs, Fantasy Remix, on soundcloud and I really liked it, but I never saved it to my likes so I never went back to listen it. Then a year ago my God sister was playing her music in the car and she saved the songs to my phone, and now I listen to her everyday!

She was supposed to be on Iggy Azalea’s Bad Girl Tour, but the tour ended up being cancelled. That hasn’t stopped Megan though, she is making appearances at a lot of different universities in Texas for their homecoming. In fact she will be Houston this Friday performing at TSU! I really like Megan, she represents for all the ladies. Her music embodies confidence, and she just really seems like a genuine person all around. She is a very hard worker. She’s always on social media promoting her music and her shows. Along with rapping, she is a student at Texas Southern University studying Public Health Administration. Hard work definitely pays off she has two EP’s out, she’s been getting some radio play, her music is played in all of the clubs and at all of the parties, and Nicki Minaj just followed her on instagram! I see really great things happening for Megan and I can’t wait for her career to really pop off! If you’ve never heard any of her songs you need to tune in now! She’s on Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud, and Tidal. You can keep with her by following her on Instagram and twitter at theestallion!
