Editor's note

August Alsina's raw, unvarnished R&B from New Orleans

A singer who turned personal struggles into direct, charting songs like 'No Love' with Nicki Minaj.

For a quick sense of his style, try 'No Love' with Nicki Minaj or 'Song Cry'. They frame that raw, confessional feel pretty well.

He came up from New Orleans listening to Kirk Franklin and Musiq Soulchild, then made R&B that felt grounded and unpolished. Songs like 'American Dream' and 'Kissin On My Tattoos' carried that directness, and he spoke openly about his autoimmune disease and addiction in 2017. That honesty gave his music a weight you don't always hear on the radio.

His debut album 'Testimony' arrived in 2014 with 'I Luv This Shit' leading the way. He followed with 'This Thing Called Life' in 2015 and 'The Product III: State of Emergency' in 2017, writing about personal themes without much studio polish.
