Last night, Rihanna took over NBC as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Up top, she goes hard with Jeezy and down bottom, she slows it with “Russian Roulette”. She also teams up with Andy Samberg in a “SNL Digital Short” skit. Saturday nights will never be the same.

As Shallah gets chauffeured around town, he and Kool G Rap reveal that their working on an album together. Sounds good, but…
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
