Taking fellow Virginia native Pharrell Williams‘ encouring words “I did it, you can do it, too” to heart, Zelgin Jackson liberates his new Hip-Hop album ‘Chapter 1: Dedication‘ via UnitedMasters. Serving as the sequel to 2023’s ‘The Prologue,’ Zelgin’s latest body of work continues to help tell his unique story while revolving around broader themes of romance, relationships, and heartache.
Notable contributors to this project include manager Robert Frampton, engineer Kyle Williams, and another hometown hero named Lockedinkee in addition to a collection of producers he met through social media.
It’s obvious that the RVA based recording artist has earned more confidence since dropping his last body of work after perfecting melodies, strengthening his pen, and upgrading his beat selection. Every word has meaning and the dedication to his craft is on full display.
“This is the second album out of a collection of music that is personal to me and updates my audience on emotions, feelings, and dilemmas I’m currently experiencing. In continuation with ‘The Prologue,’ ‘Chapter 1: Dedication’ was released on my birthday (Feb. 19th) as well. The emotions in this new album are raw and open,” ZJ tells Medium Creative Agency in a press statement about projects origins.
3. Amanda Reifer – RUDUMB?

2x GRAMMY Award-nominated artist Amanda Reifer serves up a bold new single entitled “RUDUMB?” produced by Pharrell Williams and co-written by Amanda Reifer and K. Lamar, out now via Title 9 / Atlantic Records. It notably marks her very first collaboration with Pharrell, and it lands as the third single from her anxiously awaited debut solo album, The Reifer Files, coming this Spring. The vibrant artwork was created by Korean contemporary artist ZiBEZI, best known for his iconic painting featured in the Oscar-winning film Parasite.
From the moment the beat kicks in, “RUDUMB?” feels like classic Pharrell with its slick bass thump and instantly recognizable drums. Amanda slips right into this slinky groove, and it fits like a glove. Taking charge without apology and bossing up, her confident cadence dominates the field as she teases, “Drop everything you got for a Bad Bajan.” It climaxes on the funky and fiery refrain, “I mean I get it, but I don’t. RUDUMB, boy? What do you want?” This danceable banger could ignite any party from Barbados to Virginia Beach and back again.
On “RUDUMB?” Amanda Reifer shares, “‘RUDUMB?’ is a song born out of frustration of being underestimated as a woman in the world; in career, in love, in business. Working in the studio with masters will really bring out parts of yourself that you’ve tucked away or have been shy to explore, and I’m so grateful to have been given the space and environment by these prolific men to create a record like this. When we wrote this record I really wanted to give voice to that part of being a woman that is often forced to be censored and made small for the comfort of others. Sharpening my pen in the studio with the lyrical master K. Lamar and having so much fun doing it really brought me confidence in expressing that women are multifaceted and we should take up the space that we deserve. ‘You need me in the room for the Feng shui!’ This song really taps into the audacious element of my album.”
The forthcoming project The Reifer Files traces a vibrant portrait of Amanda as not only an artist, but also as a creative, a lover, and a woman projected through an ever-evolving palette of musical moods, vibes, and storytelling. For more on Amanda Reifer click here.
4. Errol Holden – Supreme Magnetic

Today, rising New York MC Errol Holden, released his debut Roc Nation project Supreme Magnetic; which is now available. You can also watch the new video for “Harlem Ni**as Always Gotta Demonstrate” below.
When we say rising MC, don’t take our word for it. Cam’ron says “the best lyricists are from Harlem, go argue with your Mother,” as he has tapped Errol to be the first featured artist for his new Freestyle Friday’s platform; and also appeared with him. Errol was also recently named one of Complex’s top 25 Rappers To Watch In 2025.
Previously aligned with Nas’ Mass Appeal imprint, Errol has now signed a distribution deal with Roc Nation and is also now affiliated with Roc Marciano’s PIMPIRE International imprint. “Errol is something special; he is bringing game to the game” Roc Marciano shares. “Shit is inspirational”!
“Supreme Magnetic is an autobiographical crime and redemption television expose in audio form” Errol Holden declares. “It will provide and in-depth and detailed realism about life in NYC/Harlem. So much, that those who are not from here can smell the chicken wings frying from out of the Chinese restaurant; and can see the addicts in and out of building 151’s hallway.”
Errol has a very active 2025 lined up, including three full projects; but he sets the tone with Supreme Magnetic!
In 2019, Errol Holden transitioned from the roof to the booth. The artist side of Errol found solace in writing his life in verse. Those thoughts and accounts of life eventually resulted in a handful of self-released projects, presented to customers directly through social media outreach, only to discover people valued the work to the point of paying sizable sums. “I am a lifelong criminal in transformation, and music has shown me that you don’t have to do bad” Errol states.
“Nobody knew my real name until I started rapping,” shares Errol Holden. Now, the emerging New York City artist is making an impression with his identity. After years of hustling on rooftops and navigating the badlands of his concrete and steel universe, Errol creates art that shares vivid imagery and grim humanity.
Raised between Harlem and The Bronx in a Panamanian-American household, Errol has only had two jobs in his life. One, working for famed Harlem fashion designer Dapper Dan, the other in the Harlem River Houses library, ended with the adolescent taking paychecks. Even before then, the teen known as “H-O” in the streets, hustled hard. After he dropped out of high school he took to making money on 123rd, 111th Street, and other corridors within the boroughs, as well as in Pittsburgh, South Carolina, and upstate. That lifestyle lasted decades, complete with incarceration, fractured family dynamics, and a myriad of valleys and peaks.
Errol Holden’s Supreme Magnetic is now available via Roc Nation.

Rising Flint rap sensation Babyfxce E teams up with Houston phenomenon Monaleo for a knockout new remix of “PTP” out now. The music video directed by Keefer and JR Digital brings the party vibes with cameos from BabyTron, Stunna 4 Vegas and more.
Babyfxce E sets the table with fast-paced and nimble rhymes, passing the ball to Monaleo to dunk on her spirited verse. Her fiery flow practically incinerates the production as she proclaims, “I’m from Texas, not a cowboy, but b*tches envy me. I’ve been balling on these b*tches all year. I’m MVP.” It showcases both buzzing…
