August Alsina is a new R&B rapper from New Orleans, along the lines of a late career Chris Brown. He’s not that good of a singer, and not that good a rapper either, but in combination his sing-songy raps really work, just as T-Pain’s worked back in the day. I downloaded his major 2013 mixtape, The Product 2, which was not actually very good. However, based on the incredible strength of these two singles below, August Alsina deserves our attention.
