Record producer and founder of Valholla Records, Vince Valholla announced the first single from his upcoming Vince & The Valholla Empire album set for release in 2023. The single, “FOREVER” which will feature singer/songwriter/producer ADN Lewis is set to be released on October 7 digitally and physically on the new BLANK format. Here’s what Vince said about the release on an Instagram post;
“I’ve been toying around with introducing new physical formats for a while and I got an idea when I looked at a vinyl record that I never opened or played. Actually, there’s a list of vinyls or CDs that I’ve bought in the past few years that I’ve never played on any devices. I bought them as collectibles. So, I thought to myself… why isn’t there formats for collectors who don’t intend to actually open or listen to that said format?
So I came up with something called BLANKS. So, ‘FOREVER’ will be the first release on the new BLANK physical formats. Right now, you can preorder the new single on BLANK VINYL, BLANK CD, or DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. All blanks gives the consumer digital downloads but the blanks can’t be played. This offers the experience of owning physical collectible at a lower cost than traditional physical music.”
“FOREVER” is set to appear on the untitled forthcoming album from Vince & The Valholla Empire and is produced by Vince Valholla, The Track Burnaz, Vegas Fontaine and is written by and co-produced by GRAMMY Nominated, Multi-Platinum Songwriter-Producer Curtis Richardson and ADN Lewis. The public can now pre-order the song digitally or physically on Valholla Records at the Bleu Vessel store online or digitally via iTunes or Amazon. Visit valholla.com/forever for more details.

Iman Shumpert, artistically known as Iman. released his debut album titled ‘This Car Ain’t Stolen’ on Friday (August 19).

AyeeJB’s production is also on two other songs on the album (“But I Do” & “Dem and God”).
Here’s an excerpt from an album review from Shifter Magazine:
After giving us singles like “Hello” and “Gohan”, arguably dropping the best verse in the 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards cypher, and getting the attention of hip-hop legends like Pete Rock, the Chicago native and NBA champion has dropped his first studio album This Car Ain’t Stolen. The project is a follow to his 2019 album Piece de la Foutu Pie and his 2018 EP Substance.
As you would expect from the title, the 16-track album has a clear theme.
“This Car Ain’t Stolen is about OWNERSHIP. Owning your art, Owning your voice, Ownership”, Iman. explains.
“No matter the age nor the type of vehicle, being classified ‘Black’ we are constantly reminded that we as a race are seen as unworthy and a danger to those around us”, he adds. “For a long time I struggled with the science of how normalized that was and how I became desensitized to seeing it. My older self sees this all as a game, a game we plan to win. They literally put the most dangerous one behind the controller and now I got control. When people listen to this, I want them to understand this is not the basketball version of my mother’s son. But this is ‘Mani’ that never knew if he’d ever make it. PLAY TO WIN. DRIVE SAFE. THIS CAR AIN’T STOLEN”.
‘This Car Ain’t Stolen’ is available everywhere on A Sinners Peace Records.
Executive Producers of the radio show, The CRIB have announced the rebranding and launch of the first “Playlist Mixshow”, Brickell Drive. The show is the first of its kind and will be hosted and curated by record producer and founder of Valholla Entertainment, Vince Valholla and founder and CEO of The Full Circle Agency, Mike Schill.
“If we were going to do something new, why not deliver the show where people listen to music the most, on playlists,” says Vince. “There’s terrestrial radio, digital radio, and podcasts. When thinking about how we’ve curated the show in the past, I wanted to do something that wasn’t being done across multiple streaming platforms.”
Mike shared: “Our goal is to provide an innovative experience for music listeners across the world. Being in the Industry is vital that we consistently push to connect both artists and fans at new levels.”
The show is set to launch in September and will be available on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and Audiomack. “We’re thankful to Dash Radio for providing the platform for The CRIB over the years and we are looking forward to this new chapter with Brickell Drive.”
I joined The CRIB close to 5 years ago as a co-executive producer with Mike Schill. Later, I became the full time host on the show and I got to showcase so much great music and talented artists and creators.

We’ve been on hiatus recently and it gave myself and Mike a way to reflect on the changing climate in music, streaming and entertainment as a whole.

With that being said, we’re rebranding and changing up the format of the show. Starting in September, I’m proud to announce the first ever, multi-platform “playlist mixshow” titled Brickell Drive (@brickelldrive).
— Vince Valholla (@VinceValholla) August 15, 2022
The show will have the commentary and guests like before, but will be featured on select streaming services. It’s not a podcast, it’s not a radio show and I think this will inspire others to follow in our footsteps.

You may have heard something like this but not across multiple streaming services. Mike and I are excited to share more but thanks to everyone who’s ever listened to The CRIB, thanks to all our former guests and a huge thanks to everyone who assisted us at Dash Radio.
