NIA AMBER – D.A.

Leave a reply

Hip-Hop legend Trina’s protégé, Nia Amber, dropped highly anticipated single “D.A.” alongside a sensual music video while teasing her upcoming EP set to release this summer.

“’D.A.’ was inspired by a personal experience with a romantic situation that was complicated in my life at the time. I wanted to create a song that was sexy and sultry but at the same time has a direct message. I love this record, it has great balance,” Nia told Wonderland. “The song is seductive but there are a few climatic spots in the song where listeners will bop their heads.”

Nia began her work with Trina years ago, being signed to the label in 2018. “I saw the potential in Nia years ago. I was excited about her, so I invited her to my studio session,” Trina told Wonderland. “She sang for me and I knew then and there I had to sign her. I said, if you are ready to put in the work, we can get to work. And we began our journey together. I’ve been really developing her over the years and I’m excited for what is to come for her this year.”

Nia is actively working on music to drop this year, in her own words, “you can expect BOPS.” She will release an EP this summer that will be about six songs with some dope features.

MORE ABOUT NIA AMBER:

From sharing the same stage with household names Doja Cat, Sweetie, and Megan Thee Stallion, Nia Amber knows how to grasp everyone’s attention with her effortless feel-good vibe. Befitting in all ways – the name Nia means purpose, and she is very clear on hers. The dazzling songstress has not always had the undeniable confidence she now exudes. Hailing from Miami, Florida, the daughter of Bahamian parents once struggled with accepting her dark skin because she was teased for it. Because of this, she vowed to make it her mission to reassure anyone struggling with similar insecurities to know that they are beautiful just the way God made them. Her brand and the music that she makes centers around encouraging fans to love and accept themselves for who they are, just the way they were created. Nia has a strong passion and love for children and plans to one day start her own foundation that will be geared towards inspiring and empowering youth. This foundation will provide a platform that fosters self-love and confidence for all youth across the globe.

Growing up as a young star surrounded by arts, Nia’s mom was the first person to discover her musical gift. At the age of seven, Nia spent countless nights singing in the kitchen as she always tried to mimic the musical notes sung by her mother. Because of her deep love for music, she took chorus in elementary school and summer camp.

Before starting her journey as a solo artist, the R&B singer, songwriter, and classically trained dancer was one of five members of the girl group Amity Love. Under the guidance of Ms. Anita, Nia had a chance to build her experience as a diverse artist as she always had to strive to harmonize with four other girls. A natural stand-out, this was never easy for her, but she cherished the lessons of teamwork, determination, and compromise that came with the experience…and years later, these same attributes are what she leans on to cope with the bold music industry as a solo artist now.

In 2018, Nia Amber signed to Rockstarr Music Group, a label owned and managed by American rapper, songwriter, and actress Katrina Laverne Taylor “Trina.” She released her first single, “No More” in February 2019 and also had the privilege of being featured on the song “Redemption” by Trina and Ball Greezy. Nia released her latest single, “Swing My Way,” in August 2020, and since then, the song has captured over 100K streams across all major music streaming platforms. Producer/writer Arlon had his best work on this single as Nia set out to make a song that would make people dance and feel good.

With the promotion from her music label, Nia Amber has had an opportunity to share the same stage with renowned artists such as; Doja Cat, Big Latto, Saweetie, Lil Kim, Megan Thee Stallion, K. Michelle and many more. She has performed as a backup dancer and model for Brianna Perry’s Slow Dance, Back Der, One Dance, Cars and Them Other Bitches music videos. She was also a lead model in the Heart Break video featuring Fat Joe, The Dream and Remy Ma. For an artist from Miami, this was a significant opportunity for her promising career and has catapulted her to the forefront as a “big league” player, setting the stage for a widely successful year to come.

Her passion and love for music is driven by her purpose to uplift others, and with her infectious themes of self-love and acceptance, she is sure to succeed. Follow Nia Amber on her journey to success: Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.

Ways to Remain Connected With Your Co-workers When Working Remotely

Leave a reply

Long periods of isolation can be emotionally draining. Working remotely does not help either, seeing that there are limited in-person interactions. Here are several practices you can adopt to maintain a sense of connection with your co-workers.

Create Opportunities for Spontaneous Connection

The micro-interactions in the office environments, such as afternoon chats, contribute to your overall happiness. Studies show that this type of social connection is essential for employees’ well-being. Since it’s impossible to have such interactions whilst working from home, you can enhance similar connections via video calls. Zoom and Microsoft Teams are great tools for work-related calls. However, you can plan for short meetings during the week meant for informal conversation.

It is advisable to set a recurring 15-30 minutes meeting that you can label as ‘chit chat’ or ‘coffee break.’ This will help relieve the pressure of feeling that you have to talk about something business-related. Additionally, you can make them optional to ensure they are intentional and more toned down.

Utilize Non-Video Options for Involvement

While video conferencing has helped co-workers stay connected, constant use can lead to zoom fatigue. The overwhelming screen time for workplaces, schools, and social engagement can feel overwhelming. This is why it is crucial to find a balance and incorporate non-video options for interactions. For example, you can schedule a phone call instead of a video chat and, where possible, have a one-on-one check-in.

Engage in Fun Activities Online

Office setups often have team-building activities, including physical activities such as games and competitions. Ideally, these activities are great for socializing, and they contribute to increased productivity among staff. With virtual workspaces, this may be challenging, but there are some fun activities that co-workers can engage in online. Several options to consider include online cooking competitions, coffee classes, and mixology workshops. There are also tons of online team-building games that offer just as much opportunity for fun.

Online games such as scavenger hunt are excellent for group play and are becoming increasingly popular for South African firms. Yet, if you would rather play with maybe one or two co-workers, you can consider simple but fun casino games. Deal or no deal, live poker, or monopoly are excellent options. Luckily for South African players, most casinos offer online casino bonuses, giving you additional funds to play with. These bonuses include free spins, matched bonuses, and no deposit bonuses. There are several guides on how to claim these offers, including the related terms and conditions.

Find a Productivity Accountability Person

Working from home presents a lot of distractions, and it is hard to remain focused. To help complete your targets, you can team up with a co-worker and implement the Pomodoro Technique. With this productivity method, you work for 25 minutes and then have a 5-minute break. After the first three sections, you get a longer break of 15-30 minutes. This working strategy allows you to take guity-free time. Also, when working with a friend, you get some time to catch up during the break.

Be A Cheerleader to Your Fellow Team Members

It is harder to remember to take time to celebrate your co-worker’s achievements when you don’t meet physically. It is believed that 79% of employees who quit their jobs cite lack of appreciation by the company as the main reason. Therefore, it is critical to practice gratitude even when working remotely. Sharing and celebrating every milestone achieved keeps the employees motivated.

Set Out ‘Get to Know You’ Events for New Staff

New workers in a virtual setup can find it hard to interact with existing workers. The company’s management has to get creative in introducing them to the rest of the team. Although they will interact via project meetings, it might not be enough time to get to know each other.

A creative way to facilitate a ‘get to know you’ event would be using communication programs designed to pair colleagues randomly. Predetermined prompts and questions to guide their conversation could come in handy. Allocating such time will help news staff feel settled and connected with their co-workers.

We hope you found our tips useful in becoming more productive when working remotely.

Five Fun Ways to Make Your Breakfast More Exciting

Leave a reply

Some people consider breakfast the most important meal of the day. Others believe it is the province of Sunday only. However, still others view it as a chore. Why?

You’re not a machine meant to treat food as nothing but fuel. You’re a human being, fully endowed with the ability to savor fabulous flavors. Here are five fun ways to make your breakfast more exciting, whether you’re enjoying a leisurely Sunday brunch or a quick midweek meal.

Switch Up Your Menu

If you grab the same meal replacement bar every morning to devour in your car on the way to work, no wonder you don’t consider breakfast very exciting. There’s a time and place for such speedy snacks during crunch time and extended weekend hikes. However, variety is the spice of life, so consider mixing up your morning meal in one of these fun ways.

1. Perfect Your Pancakes

Pancakes are the ultimate breakfast food. There’s no need to stick with boring white flour. You can kick your protein intake up a notch using a chickpea alternative, skipping the rapid blood sugar spike and crash.

Do you want another way to increase the overall protein content — and flavor? Get wild and crazy with nut butters in your batter. Peanut butter works wonders, and who doesn’t love Nutella?

Nor do you have to stick to maple syrup as your sole topper, although you do well to use the 100% natural stuff if you prefer this sweet treat. Many commercial brands have questionable additives, but you can find brands containing only one ingredient — the sticky sap from the tree alone. Other options include jams, preserves and marmalades, fresh fruit and whipped cream, or chocolate or caramel toppings.

2. Make an Omelet Bar

What’s the best part about going out to breakfast? If you said “the omelet bar,” you aren’t alone. Why not recreate the magic at home? It’s the perfect way to use up any leftover veggies from your weekday salads and dinners.

Did you make steaks on the grill last night, accompanied by asparagus and sauteed mushrooms? If you have a bit of feta, your leftovers can transform into this delicious omelet that starts your day with plenty of protein and phytonutrients. If you ordered hoagies and only had half your ham sammy, add the rest of the meat and onions to your eggs and toast the leftover roll as a side. A dash more seasoning and olive oil elevate it to near focaccia status.

3. Think Beyond the Pig

Are you a carnivore? If so, you might think of pork as the classic breakfast meat. However, a quick look through your grocer’s aisles shows you have plenty of options besides the pig — a decided perk, given inflation’s impact on meat prices.

If you avoid red meat, you’ll find no turkey bacon and sausage shortage. Should you opt for an uncured version? It might be healthier to do so. The nitrates in cured meats help preserve them, but they also increase your colorectal cancer risk.

Those who practice vegan lifestyles can rejoice more than ever. There are tons of cruelty-free alternatives on the market today, made using everything from heme to hemp. You can recreate that classic “out for breakfast” experience while sparing yourself unnecessary guilt and going the extra mile to preserve the planet’s resources.

Upgrade Your Beverage Selection

Sometimes, it’s convenient to sip your breakfast. Other times, you want to add a nutrient boost to your day. The following smoothie recipes start your morning right as a meal in themselves or for slaking your thirst as you wash down your solids.

1. Healthy Berry Smoothie

This recipe is chock-full of antioxidants, especially anthocyanins. It’s an a.m. boost for your heart and neurological system.

1 cup fresh blueberries or any berry blend you prefer
½ cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt if following a vegan diet)
¼ cup orange juice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cinnamon
3 ice cubes
Monk fruit or stevia sweetener to taste

Add everything to a blender and combine at low speed. Turn up the dial and blend until smooth.

2. Easy Green Smoothie

Green drinks are rich in B-vitamins like folate, critical for expecting mamas. You also get your daily dose of kale without bitterness — the other ingredients blend it away.

1 cup frozen fruit (any kind — bananas, berries or a tropical blend)
1 cup fresh greens, like spinach, kale and arugula
¾ cup coconut milk or an almond/coconut milk blend
½ tablespoon ground chia or flax seeds
2 ice cubes
Monk fruit or stevia sweetener to taste

Add all ingredients to a blender and mix at low speed. Increase the speed, blending until creamy.

You can even elevate your morning cup of joe. How? If you have chronic aches and pains, add a touch of turmeric, ginger and black pepper to your coffee grounds. The turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties amplified by the piperine in the black pepper.

Is controlling your blood sugar a bear you wrestle daily? Try adding cinnamon to your coffee grounds. Research studies show that this bark may help mitigate insulin resistance, improving your glucose levels.

Of course, you might want the occasional mimosa when making a leisurely Sunday brunch version of breakfast. Go beyond mere champagne and orange juice. Make it more exciting by adding in some pineapple juice and a touch of grenadine for a blushing beverage pretty enough to serve at the Four Seasons.

Dine Alfresco

Warm weather has finally returned — or it will soon. Why not take advantage of more temperate climes to dust off your patio furniture set and dine alfresco?

Doing so could even help up your social quotient if you’re still isolated due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns. Experts consider outdoor activities far safer than indoor ones, so why not consider having the gang for brunch as an alternative to a barbecue? You can practice social distancing and have guests mask up if they must venture indoors to use the facilities.

Get Gadget-y

Do you adore breakfast sandwiches? Why stick to the menu at the drive-thru? They might use sketchy ingredients, anyway. Instead, invest in a crafty sandwich maker that will have you designing gourmet handheld treats that your cubicle mates will drool over.

Another groovy idea? A retro all-in-one breakfast station. These devices feature a toaster oven and coffee urn, topped by a griddle for frying your bacon and eggs. They’re the perfect countertop edition if you’re into tiny living — as in, no room for a stove.

With the right gear, there’s no end to creative ways to make your breakfast more exciting. You can find bowls divided in half, one side for milk, the other for decidedly non-soggy cereal. Pancake pens let you create artistic shapes with your morning meal.

Finally, are you wanting to eat the richest bagel? You can’t help but smile when slicing it with a miniature guillotine. Laughter increases your positive energy, releasing happy little neuropeptides — it’s highly recommended for starting your day off right.

Make It an Occasion

Too often, people consider breakfast a hassle. Make it more exciting by treating it like the occasion it is. After all, you woke up to the gift of another beautiful day on planet earth — make your morning meal a celebration.

Why wait until your loved one’s birthday to delight them with breakfast in bed? If you get up before them on your day off, treat them. Hopefully, they’ll take the hint to return the favor, but either way, they’ll appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Do you typically skip the morning meal because you practice periodic fasting? There’s no rule saying that you can’t have eggs after 8 a.m. Why not serve up breakfast for dinner or spend a few hours on Saturday lingering over a leisurely late brunch in your PJs?

Eight Smart Heart Health Tips

Leave a reply

You can’t live without your heart. However, you might not pay too much attention to this organ’s health until trouble strikes. Fortunately, it’s not hard to take proactive steps to keep it pumping strong.

Preserving your ticker can help you lead a longer, better quality of life. Here are eight smart heart tips that will maintain this precious organ so that you have more days on earth with those you love.

1. Exercise

Exercise is vital to a healthy heart. This rule holds even if you have an existing condition. According to a 2013 study of over 5,000 participants with vascular conditions, routine fitness reduced the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events by 21% in men, and 29% in women.

The American Heart Association recommends getting 40 minutes of moderate exercise three to four days a week. This guideline is similar to the World Health Organization (WHO), which recommends 150 to 300 minutes each week.

What matters is elevating your heart rate. Many people think of going for a bike ride, walk or run to get their cardiovascular conditioning. However, you can also get the necessary work with the right weight workout — for instance, by performing compound movements or taking a weighted HIIT class. Even some vigorous yoga forms increase your heart rate.

What if you have a chronic pain condition that makes movement problematic? Hop in the pool. The buoyancy of the water removes pressure from creaky knees and hips. Plus, you up your social quotient, further reducing your cardiovascular risks. Social isolation and loneliness increase women’s risk of heart disease by 13 to 27%.

2. Reduce Your Red Meat Consumption

When you think of red meat and heart health, it’s probably the saturated fat content that raises your eyebrows. This stuff can increase your risk of coronary disease. However, some plant-based foods like coconut milk and oil also contain saturated fat and affect your cholesterol differently.

One study investigated the effects of coconut oil, olive oil and butter on blood lipids. While coconut oil and butter increased LDL or “bad” cholesterol levels, the result wasn’t nearly as marked in coconut oil. Additionally, coconut oil increased several positive biomarkers, including HDL or “good” cholesterol. Scientists cite the need for further research.

Another study of over 1.4 million people indicated the following:

Eating 50 grams or more of processed meats like bacon and ham increased your coronary heart disease risk by 18%.
Eating 50 grams or more of unprocessed beef, lamb or pork increased coronary heart disease risk by 9%.

Something there is in animal products that isn’t kind to your heart. Should you adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet if you run an elevated risk? Possibly, if your doctor recommends it. However, meat is a complete protein that provides several other health benefits, so reducing your intake to once or twice a week is kind for your ticker without leaving you deprived.

3. Lay Off the Salt

If you reach for the salt shaker before tasting your meal, please stop that habit if you care about your heart. According to the DASH diet study, reducing your salt intake by three grams a day positively affects your blood pressure. You get even better results by slashing 6 or 9 grams, doubling or tripling the benefits.

What about salt substitutes? Many commercial products contain potassium, which can lower your blood pressure. However, doing so also creates problems, as this mineral likewise impacts heart health. If you opt for this route, check with your doctor and use moderation. Ultimately, you’re better off seasoning your food with herbs and spices instead of the shaker.

4. Eat a Plant-Based, Whole Foods Diet

You could technically live on chips and apple pie and call it a plant-based diet, but your heart wouldn’t thank you much. Besides the salt content, you’d miss out on valuable vitamins and minerals your body — including your cardiovascular system — needs.

Besides, consumption of ultra-processed foods increases your Type 2 diabetes risk, which in turn harms heart health. Much of the one-two punch comes from foods laden with white flour. This stuff contains alloxan, a chemical byproduct released during the bleaching process. Scientists use it to induce diabetes in laboratory animals and when you combine that effect with the rapid blood sugar spike these foods cause, you have a recipe for disaster.

To improve your heart health, stick to whole foods close to their natural form. Look at your plate as a clock and fill half of it with the fresh leafy greens and brightly colored stuff at every meal.

5. Reduce Your Stress Levels

Stress makes multiple body systems go haywire. Your neurotransmitters and hormones go all out of whack, making you feel worse. Cortisol, a hormone your body releases too much of under long-term pressure, can increase blood cholesterol, sugar, sugar and pressure.

That’s not the only problem that too much stress can cause for your heart. It also involves your mind. Research from Australia suggests that chronic stress rewires your brain, prompting it to keep your blood pressure elevated. High blood pressure increases your risk of heart attack and failure.

6. Don’t Smoke

If you still smoke, please take advantage of free resources to help you quit. This habit damages several organs, including your heart.

Smoking increases plaque formation in arteries and veins. When blood vessels to the heart become blocked, it can lead to an attack. Smoking also thickens the blood, making it more likely to clot and impede vessels.

7. Cut Back on Drinking

Please disregard the advice to drink a glass of red wine daily for heart health. While one drink won’t hurt you, you’ll get the same antioxidant benefits from a non-alcohol glass of grape juice — and it may be the better choice for your heart.

Even one drink elevates your blood pressure slightly. The effect quickly wears off once you stop drinking. However, ongoing overindulgence can lead to extremely high numbers that increase your risk of a heart attack or failure. If you do drink, please stick to no more than one or two per day, and if you don’t currently indulge, don’t start.

8. Talk to Your Doctor

Your doctor is ultimately your best source of advice for keeping your heart healthy. They can help you calibrate your home blood pressure device so that you can keep tabs on your numbers at home. Additionally, they can recommend advanced testing like echocardiograms and stress tests to monitor you if they identify a problem.

Your doctor is also your go-to resource if you take medications, drink herbal tea, or take supplements. While most interactions are safe, some can cause trouble — please write a list to check at your next appointment. For example, taking potassium with blood pressure medications can lead to trouble.

Which Casinos Pennsylvania Preferred In the Record-Breaking Year of 2021?

Leave a reply

Did you know that Pennsylvania casinos brought in a record-breaking amount of revenue in 2021? The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board released the figures earlier this week, and they show that when it comes to making legal bets, online gambling was the big winner. The total take for the state’s casinos was $35.19 million, up from the previous high of $27.06 million in 2020. Even more, Pennsylvania online casinos took in $136.19 million, an increase of more than 100% from the 2020s $66.09 million.

Pennsylvania’s casinos have leveraged their popularity as a tourist destination to attract new players. Still, they are also benefiting from the increased number of people staying at home during the pandemic, looking for new ways to gamble online. Pennsylvania has been a leader in the growth of gambling. The state will likely continue to see even more increases in revenue as newcomers try out online casinos and other forms of iGaming. You can check out the best PA-free slots sites that Pennsylvania residents preferred in 2021.

Gambling Booming in Pennsylvania

The gambling industry has been booming since 2015 when the country legalized daily fantasy sports, and this state is one of a handful that has fully embraced it as well. Pennsylvania launched its lottery in 1971, and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) was created in 2004 to regulate casino gambling in the state. They also work to prevent gambling problems by promoting responsible behavior.

The only form of gambling that the PGCB does not regulate is social gambling, including games like poker or bridge played among friends for fun and without betting money. There are no age restrictions on social gambling, but players cannot bet on the game’s outcome. PGCB has an excellent relationship with law enforcement and regularly collaborates to investigate illegal gambling operations.

The board oversees 14 casinos and Pennsylvania’s online gambling operations. Pennsylvania is also home to several horse racing tracks and many off-track betting facilities, which allow people to place bets on races while they are on the way or nearby.

Pennsylvania Online Poker Rooms

Pennsylvania is also home to many online poker rooms. It is famous for residents who want to play online games like blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, slots, and poker. You can also find lesser-known games like Pai Gow and Three Card Poker at some sites. The state also has some of the best casinos globally, consisting of over 150 slot machines and more than 100 table games on hand. They also offer a large selection of video poker machines, which are perfect if you’re only looking to relax and play some low-stakes cards with friends or family members at home. Pennsylvania casinos have something for everyone.

Pennsylvania also allows visitors to play online games such as slots, poker, roulette, baccarat, craps, blackjack, and video poker at any time of day or night throughout their desktop computers, laptops, tablets, phones mobile, smartphones, smartwatches, etc. Players can play from anywhere within their borders without needing a license from an offshore casino operator.

In addition, the growth of online gambling has benefited Pennsylvania’s casinos, which have been able to offer more games and attract new players. Pennsylvania has over 12 million people, and there are already more than 800,000 active online casino players in the state. The number will only grow as casinos expand their offerings and new players try out online gambling for the first time. Pennsylvania online gambling has helped generate more than $400 million in tax revenue, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

At all licensed liquor stores, bars, and restaurants serving alcohol by the glass, the minimum drinking age is 18. So if you’re looking to have a good time, be sure to bring your ID! Also, it’s essential to consider that the legal age for gambling in a casino or on racetracks and betting parlors is 21 years unless accompanied by an adult.

Pennsylvania has been vying for second place in gaming revenue with New Jersey, which is the No. 2 state in gambling income behind Nevada, but Pa is likely to surpass New Jersey in the coming years.

The gaming industry is booming, and there’s no end in sight!

The PGCB expects Pennsylvania’s gross terminal income (GTR) for online casinos to be between $120-$130 million per month by 2023 or 2024 – an impressive number considering the current GTR is just over $100 million/month now! Pa is one of the few states in the US that has seen a continuous increase in gambling revenue since 2004.

Conclusion

Pennsylvania’s gambling industry is booming, and it looks like this trend will continue in the years ahead. The state has been a leader in the growth of online gambling, witnessing an increase in revenue. Pennsylvania officials have been pushing to legalize online gambling for years, and it looks like the state is finally starting to see the benefits.

In 2017 the Pa Gaming Control Board issued its first licenses for online gambling, becoming the fourth state to legalize online. Pennsylvania has been a leader in the growth, which will likely continue to see increases in revenue as more people try out online gambling.

The state has a long history of gambling, and it looks like this trend is only going to continue in the years ahead. The casinos brought in a record-breaking amount of revenue in 2021, and there is no doubt that online gambling was a big part of this success. Time to double down on iGaming, I’m I right?

MGK – mainstream sellout

Leave a reply

Machine Gun Kelly moves closer to the release of his sixth studio album, mainstream sellout (Bad Boy/Interscope Records) by revealing its tracklist and official digital album artwork. Last night, the dynamo took over the trendy supper club Delilah in West Hollywood for a track reveal befitting of a music and fashion mogul: He donned 16 different custom Dolce & Gabbana shirts that each bore the name of a song on the album, which will be released on March 25. Check out the images from last night’s reveal HERE.

Today, fans received a bonus with the album’s featured acts revealed exclusively through the tracklist published on Spotify. The star-studded group includes Gunna, Young Thug, Bring Me the Horizon, blackbear and iann dior. Pre-order the new album HERE.

The new announcements add excitement to an album cycle already off to a blistering start thanks to MGK’s current hit collaborations with WILLOW and Lil Wayne. “emo girl,” with genre-bending dynamic force WILLOW has already soared above 40 million streams and raced inside the top 25 of Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart. “ay!,” featuring rap legend Lil Wayne, passed 11 million streams in its first week alone thanks to its visually captivating music video, in which MGK and his crew cycle through a parade of costumes that demonstrate his natural flair and rockstar lifestyle. Watch it HERE. Plus, the unique artwork for mainstream sellout’s digital configurations highlights the precision that MGK gives to curating each body of work.

mainstream sellout’s impending drop date caps a whirlwind month for the cross-genre hitmaker. Earlier in March, he honored fans with the release of his lockdown sessions EP, which took three fan-favorite viral tracks and distributed them officially across all streaming services for the first time. For the drop, MGK also shot a music video for the standout tune “roll the windows up,” (previously released as “smoke and drive”), a no-frills clip with he and his drummer, Rook, smoke in the car and capture the project’s homegrown vibe. Watch the full clip HERE.

In addition to his onslaught of new hit music, MGK has recently dominated the live space by performing on two of sports’ biggest stages: a headlining spot at the 2022 NHL All-Star Game in Las Vegas, and, in the lead-up to Super Bowl LVI, he and Halsey united for a blockbuster set for a Bud Light-sponsored show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

“I am happy to finally bring my show to my island and give fans what they have been asking for, for so long. We have a super fun show and will give fans a good time! Vamos Puerto Rico!” commented Quiles.

Last night, Quiles released his latest hit song “Gucci Fendi” alongside fellow Puerto Rican rapper Eladio Carrion. “Gucci Fendi” is the first song off of his next studio album slated for release in 2022. The song, along with the official video, are available to stream on all digital platforms today.

Each track the multi-platinum artist releases is another song in a lengthy repertoire of certified hits — with “Gucci Fendi” being no exception. The song not only demonstrates his exceptional versatility, but also the growth he has endured as an artist. On “Gucci Fendi,” Justin incorporates skilled lyrical mastery and creates a song that is relevant and relatable about the need to always look “on point” when stepping out. Carrion’s inclusion on the track further elevates it and adds the perfect notes of grittiness with his flow and unique vocals. Directed by Fernando Lugo, the video features some of today’s hottest fashions set against a monochromatic backdrop to further highlight its exclusivity.

Quiles has enjoyed a career filled with a myriad of milestones that have catapulted him into another level of global success and reach within Latin music. The singer-songwriter wrapped up an impressive 2021 by surpassing 1 billion combined global streams of his successful third studio album, “La Última Promesa.” The album reached #1 on Apple Music’s “Top Album Charts,” #1 BTS video on Apple Music’s “Top Video Charts,” #1 on iTunes, garnered 1 million streams on the first day of release on Apple Music alone, and #3 on Spotify’s Global Top Album Debuts (#1 Latin album). “La Ultima Promesa” is also home to several multi-platinum hits released prior to the album such as: “Loco“ featuring Zion & Lennox and Chimbala, which reached #1 on U.S. radio the week of the album’s release and has surpassed over 185.9 million views on YouTube, was certified 2x Platinum in Spain, reached #1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, #1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, #10 on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart, #13 on Hot Latin Songs, and currently sits at #1 in the United States and Spain; “PAM“ featuring superstars Daddy Yankee and El Alfa, whose video has over 91.1 million views and entered the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs and Latin Airplay charts for over 15 weeks; and “Jeans“ with over 213 million views and certified Platinum in the United States, Diamond in Chile, Platinum in Spain, 2x Platinum in Argentina, 4x Platinum in Peru and 3x Platinum in Mexico. Adding to the success of “La Última Promesa,” he released the official video of his single “Colorín Colorado“ — quickly becoming one of the hitmaker’s fan favorites. Since its release, it has already accumulated more than 42 million views on YouTube and more than 492 million streams worldwide.

There is no doubt that as Justin Quiles continues along with his illustrious career, he will continue to position himself as one of the most versatile and sought-after artists and composers in the urban genre. To date, Justin has accumulated more than 4.2 billion combined global streams. The globally renowned hitmaker is also currently gearing up for his run across the United States that will be making stops in four major cities at the beginning of April 2022. The tour will make stops in New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. Boston and Puerto Rico.
