dvsn Signs With Jermaine Dupri And So So Def For Multi-Album Deal
It's been almost three years since dvsn's last album, Working On My Karma. However, fans finally have an explanation behind the duo's delayed new music. Vocalist Daniel Daley and producer Nineteen85 revealed on Twitter/X on Monday (June 2) that they've found a new home with Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Recordings under its new worldwide distribution partnership with HYBE AMERICA. 'After working with the group on their last album, going to their shows, seeing how much their fans love them, and then when I heard they had just become free agents, I had to sign them and make dvsn my first signing at So So Def/HYBE,' Dupri said in a statement. The group replied, '4 Everyone that's been wondering what's been going on and where's the new music… It's otw.' Under dvsn's new deal, HYBE AMERICA will manage worldwide distribution while So So Def oversees all creative direction and releases. They were previously signed to Drake's OVO Sound in partnership with Warner Records. Under OVO, the R&B duo released four studio albums: SEPT 5TH (2016), Morning After (2017), A Muse In Her Feelings (2020), and the aforementioned Working On My Karma (2022). 2021's Amusing Her Feelings was the deluxe installment to their 2020 LP and they also released a joint EP with Ty Dolla $ign that year titled Cheers to the Best Memories. Dupri co-produced dvsn's 'polarizingly honest' single, 'If I Get Caught,' with Bryan-Michael Cox and Nineteen85. Of their last album and what it represents for them overall, Daley told VIBE exclusively, 'We are a group that tries to make sure we're making moments, but also just tries to keep progressing the conversation of R&B. It's the ideology of dvsn that's still here, which is always being cool with being separate from the pack, being unapologetically on your own wave, in your own vibe. This is us trying to help reset the systems, refresh the palette, bring some more traditional R&B to the forefront as far as the sound, but then also still progress it with the writing and the topics and being very real about where we are today in the relationship in society and the human experience.' dvsn's new single is set to drop this summer.

B-Side Bangers: Mariah Carey
Neil Libbert Get into any heated music debate, and the first thing a true fan will do is pull out the deep cuts to defend their favorite hitmaker. Sure, the singles and Billboard #1's will do the trick, but if you really want to win an argument while also gaining some brownie points it's all about coming through with the b-sides. As we launch 'B-Side Bangers,' a fan-focused editorial series that we'll be curating from time to time for all the audiophiles out there, it really wasn't a hard decision to kick things off with the incomparable Mariah Carey. Ironically enough, the era-defining pop queen has her own reason to celebrate today (5/30) with the release of her latest milestone project, The Emancipation of Mimi: 20th Anniversary Edition . RELATED: Outkast, Mariah Carey Among 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Nominees Recognized by many as her comeback album after a highly-publicized breakdown in 2001, less-than-stellar reviews of her shift into Hollywood with Glitter that same year and the criminally-ignored Charmbracelet in 2002, The Emancipation Of Mimi was a flex in every sense of the word and solidified her as an unbreakable force in the industry with no signs of slowing down. Even a full two decades later, what Mariah proved on this album resonated on future projects and the overall trajectory of her career. We don't even need to mention the legacy alone of 'We Belong Together' as a record-breaking single to make the point clear. As you get through the greatest cuts on The Emancipation of Mimi: 20th Anniversary Edition , in addition to some new remixes by way of Solange, KAYTRANADA, esentrik and others, take a look at our own b-side playlist that we put together of Mariah Carey deep cuts. We expect diehards to be singing along, and you can thank us later if some of these are new to your ears. 'Honey (So So Def Remix)' [feat.
