Tyla Laura Seethal, known mononymously as Tyla, is a rising star in the music industry, captivating audiences with her unique blend of pop, R&B, and African influences. Born on 30 January 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, Tyla has quickly become a global sensation, breaking records and earning prestigious awards at a young age.
Early Life and Family Background Tyla grew up in a diverse family, with roots spanning across Zulu, Irish, Indian, and Mauritian ancestry. Her parents, Sharleen and Sherwin Seethal, recognized and nurtured her passion for music from an early age. As a member of the Coloured community in South Africa, Tyla's upbringing was shaped by a rich tapestry of cultures and experiences, which would later influence her music and artistic vision.
During her time at Edenglen High School, Tyla's talent and dedication shone through. She served as the head of culture in her final year, showcasing her leadership skills and commitment to the arts. Alongside her academic pursuits, Tyla began sharing her original songs and covers on Instagram, catching the attention of industry professionals and laying the foundation for her future success.
Discovery and Early Career Tyla's journey to stardom began when she was discovered by her first manager, Garth von Glehn, who recognized her raw talent and potential. Von Glehn organized recording sessions for Tyla, which she would attend every weekend during her final year of high school, balancing her passion for music with her academic responsibilities.
After matriculating in 2019, Tyla released her debut single, "Getting Late," featuring production from Kooldrink. The song quickly gained national recognition, showcasing Tyla's unique sound and captivating vocals. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Tyla and her manager persevered, filming the accompanying music video intermittently throughout the lockdowns. Released in January 2021, the video amassed millions of views on YouTube and earned Tyla a nomination for Music Video of the Year at the 28th South African Music Awards in 2022.
Pursuing Her Dreams Initially, Tyla had been studying towards a degree in mining engineering. However, her passion for music was undeniable, and with the support of her parents, she made the difficult decision to take a year off from university to focus on her burgeoning music career. This leap of faith paid off when Tyla signed a recording contract with Epic Records through a joint venture with Fax Records in the United States in May 2021.
Tyla continued to release singles, including "Overdue" in October 2021 and "To Last" in November 2022, further establishing her presence in the music industry and garnering a growing fanbase.
International Breakthrough with "Water" Tyla's international breakthrough came in 2023 with the release of her single "Been Thinking." The song earned Tyla her first chart placements on the Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Airplay charts, showcasing her ability to create infectious, club-ready anthems that resonated with audiences worldwide. Critics praised the track, with Heven Haile of Pitchfork comparing it to the seductive pop-R&B hits of mid-2000s Ciara and Rihanna.
Tyla's rising star caught the attention of established artists, leading to her joining Chris Brown as the opening act for his Under the Influence Tour. This opportunity provided Tyla with invaluable exposure and allowed her to connect with audiences on a global scale.
In May 2023, Tyla released the single "Girl Next Door," featuring Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, further demonstrating her ability to collaborate with international artists and merge different musical styles seamlessly. However, it was the release of "Water" in July 2023 that truly propelled Tyla to international stardom.
"Water" quickly went viral on the social media platform TikTok, spawning a dance challenge that took the world by storm. The song's success translated to the charts, reaching the top 10 in numerous countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Tyla's achievement was particularly significant in her home country, as she became the youngest-ever South African and the first South African soloist in 55 years to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, following Hugh Masekela's "Grazing in the Grass" in 1968.
Tyla's mesmerizing live performances of "Water" on international television shows, such as The Bianca Show in Sweden and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the United States, further cemented her status as a global sensation. The accompanying music video, released in October 2023, garnered millions of views within days, a testament to Tyla's growing popularity and the song's universal appeal.
Collaborations and Accolades As Tyla's fame continued to rise, she attracted the attention of established artists eager to collaborate with the young sensation. In October 2023, she was featured on a remix version of Summer Walker's "Girls Need Love," as part of Walker's Girls Mix extended play. This collaboration showcased Tyla's versatility and ability to adapt to different musical styles while maintaining her unique artistic identity.
On the eve of December 2023, Tyla announced the upcoming release of her highly anticipated debut studio album, Tyla (2024). To build excitement for the project, she simultaneously released three new tracks, "Truth or Dare," "On and On," and "Butterflies," as promotional singles on an extended play of the same name. These songs offered a tantalizing glimpse into the range and depth of Tyla's artistry, further whetting the appetite of her growing fanbase.
Tyla's talent and hard work did not go unnoticed by the music industry. At the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2024, she made history by becoming the first person to win the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance with "Water." This achievement also made her the youngest-ever African artist to win a Grammy Award, a remarkable feat that solidified her position as a trailblazer in the global music scene.
Debut Album and Critical Acclaim On 22 March 2024, Tyla released her self-titled debut album via Fax and Epic Records. The album was met with critical acclaim, with music critics praising Tyla's artistic growth, her ability to blend various genres, and the emotional depth of her lyrics. The album showcased Tyla's unique perspective as a young African woman navigating the complexities of love, identity, and success in the modern world.
Tyla's debut album not only solidified her status as a rising star but also earned her numerous accolades and nominations. She received nominations for a BRIT Award, a Soul Train Music Award, a MOBO Award, and two South African Music Awards, further cementing her position as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Artistry and Influences Tyla's music is a reflection of her diverse influences, which range from iconic pop stars like Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and Rihanna to R&B legends like Aaliyah and Drake. She also draws inspiration from contemporary African artists such as Tems and Wizkid, incorporating elements of their sound into her own unique style.
Tyla's artistry is characterized by her ability to blend pop, R&B, and African musical traditions seamlessly, creating a sound that is both fresh and familiar. Her lyrics often explore themes of love, empowerment, and self-discovery, resonating with listeners across the globe.
Beyond her musical talents, Tyla has expressed her desire to become the first global pop star from Africa. This ambitious goal reflects her determination to break barriers and inspire other young African artists to pursue their dreams on the international stage.
Impact and Future Tyla's meteoric rise to fame has not only captivated audiences worldwide but has also had a significant impact on the music industry. Her success has helped to shine a spotlight on the vibrant and diverse music scene in Africa, encouraging more international collaborations and opening doors for other African artists to gain global recognition.
As Tyla continues to evolve as an artist and make her mark on the music world, there is no doubt that she will continue to break records, win awards, and inspire countless aspiring musicians. Her unique blend of talent, charisma, and cultural heritage positions her as a true pioneer in the industry, and her influence is set to extend far beyond the realm of music.

Feuds are as old as hip-hop itself, and often, they fuel creativity and public personas. One of the most captivating rivalries of recent years has been between two rap titans: Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Their lyrical sparring and subliminal jabs have left fans eagerly analyzing their every word, waiting for the next salvo in this ongoing battle. The Rise of Two Titans Drake's Journey to the Top Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, began his journey in the entertainment industry as an actor on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation. His transition from actor to rapper started with the release of his mixtape Room for Improvement (2006), followed by Comeback Season (2007), which showcased his unique blend of singing and rapping. Drake's breakthrough came with the release of his third mixtape So Far Gone in 2009, featuring hits like "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful." The mixtape's success earned him a deal with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment. His debut studio album Thank Me Later (2010) topped the Billboard 200 chart and solidified his place in the music industry. Over the next decade, Drake became synonymous with chart-topping hits like "God's Plan," "Hotline Bling," and "In My Feelings." His blend of introspective lyrics, catchy melodies, and versatile music style resonated with a global audience. Albums like Take Care (2011), Nothing Was the Same (2013), and Views (2016) showcased his growth as an artist, leading to numerous awards, including four Grammy Awards. Kendrick Lamar: Compton’s Poet Laureate Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar Duckworth grew up in Compton, California, where he was inspired by the legacy of West Coast hip-hop legends like Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre. His first mixtape, Youngest Head Nigga in Charge (2003), released under the moniker K-Dot, hinted at his lyrical prowess. Kendrick's rise to prominence began with his acclaimed mixtape Overly Dedicated (2010) and was further solidified with his independent album Section.80 (2011). But it was his major-label debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012), that cemented his place as one of the greatest lyricists of his generation. The album's storytelling, chronicling his teenage years in Compton, earned widespread critical acclaim. To Pimp a Butterfly (2015) elevated Kendrick to new heights, with its fusion of hip-hop, jazz, and funk, and its incisive exploration of race, politics, and identity. Songs like "Alright" became anthems for the Black Lives Matter movement. His follow-up album DAMN. (2017) won the Pulitzer Prize for Music, making Kendrick the first non-classical or jazz artist to receive the honor. Flashpoint: Origins of the Feud The seeds of the Drake-Kendrick rivalry were sown with subtle lyrical jabs that fans eagerly dissected. The tension became more apparent after Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Big Sean's track "Control" (2013), where he called out several rappers, including Drake, and proclaimed himself "the king of New York." Drake responded with comments dismissing Kendrick's claims, saying he was unaffected by them. This exchange set the tone for future subliminal shots, like Kendrick's "The Heart Part 4" (2017), where he implied Drake wasn't writing his lyrics, and Drake’s "Duppy Freestyle" (2018), which many interpreted as targeting Kendrick. Control Verse: The Turning Point Big Sean's track "Control" (2013), which featured Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica, was the turning point that brought the simmering tension between Drake and Kendrick to the forefront. Kendrick's verse took aim at several notable rappers, including Drake, J. Cole, and Big Sean himself. Some lines specifically targeting Drake included: "I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' with
But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is." While the verse didn't directly attack Drake, the competitive nature and self-proclaimed "king of New York" label stirred the pot. Drake's response in an interview with Billboard magazine was dismissive, stating, "I know good and well that Kendrick's not murdering me." Subliminal Jabs and Speculative Responses Over the next few years, both Drake and Kendrick continued their streak of chart-topping hits while taking subliminal jabs at each other: Kendrick's "The Heart Part 4" (2017): "Tables turn, lesson learned, my best look / You jumped sides on me, now you 'bout to meet Westbrook." Interpreted as a shot at Drake's infamous beef with Meek Mill and his switching affiliations between Young Money and OVO. Drake's "Duppy Freestyle" (2018): Although primarily aimed at Pusha T, many lines were seen as indirect shots at Kendrick. "I got a lot of friends within the rap game, but you ain't that, fam." 2015 BET Cypher and TDE vs. OVO The 2015 BET Cypher further fueled the rivalry, with TDE and OVO appearing in separate ciphers. Kendrick Lamar's cypher included lines perceived as jabs at Drake's "started from the bottom" narrative: "Nothing's been the same since they dropped 'Control'
And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes." The competitive energy between TDE and OVO was palpable, and fans began analyzing each lyric and social media post for hints of the ongoing rivalry. Impact on Their Music and Careers The rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar didn't just remain in the realm of subliminal jabs; it had a tangible impact on their music and careers. Both artists pushed their creative boundaries, often releasing their best work during this period. Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late (2015): Released as a surprise mixtape, it contained several tracks that fans interpreted as aimed at Kendrick. "Energy" and "6 God" reflected a more aggressive tone in Drake's music. Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly (2015): Songs like "King Kunta" and "The Blacker the Berry" addressed identity and power, with some lines hinting at the competitive rap landscape. The album's experimentation with jazz and funk showcased Kendrick's willingness to evolve artistically. Drake's Views (2016): Focused more on dancehall and pop sounds, moving away from the aggressive style of If You're Reading This It's Too Late. "Hype" and "Weston Road Flows" retained some competitive energy. Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. (2017): Tracks like "DNA." and "HUMBLE." were seen as power statements, reinforcing Kendrick's dominance. The album's Pulitzer Prize win cemented his place as a top-tier lyricist. 2018: "Sicko Mode" Collaboration and Pusha T Beef Despite the rivalry, Drake and Kendrick appeared on the same song in 2018. Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode" featured both artists, albeit in different sections, leaving many fans wondering if they had buried the hatchet. However, the feud with Pusha T reignited tensions. Drake vs. Pusha T Drake's long-standing beef with Pusha T reached new heights in 2018 when Pusha released "The Story of Adidon," exposing Drake's secret son. While Kendrick Lamar didn't directly involve himself, his collaboration with Pusha T on "Nosetalgia" (2013) and continued partnership with Kanye West hinted at implicit support. 2024: The Feud Reignites In May 2024, the rivalry reached new heights when Kendrick released a scathing diss track titled "Euphoria," aimed directly at Drake. The song is packed with personal attacks, questioning Drake's authenticity, work ethic, and even his use of the n-word. Kendrick throws shade at Drake's mob boss persona, questions the legitimacy of his physique, and challenges the quality of his music. Lines like, "You ain’t even write your own book, so what you preachin' for?" and "Fake abs and fake flows, who are you reachin' for?" left no doubt that Kendrick was coming for Drake's crown. Current Situation (May 2024) The release of "Euphoria" has reignited the rap world, with all eyes on Drake to see how he will respond. Speculation is rife that this could escalate the feud further, with Drake rumored to be preparing a diss track of his own. Public and Industry Reaction Fans and fellow artists have taken sides, dissecting the lyrics for hidden meanings. Some view Kendrick's track as a masterful takedown, while others await Drake's response. Industry insiders are watching closely, as a response from Drake could reshape the rap landscape. Social Commentary Embedded in "Euphoria" The social commentary embedded in "Euphoria" regarding cultural appropriation and racial identity adds another layer to the conflict. Kendrick raises questions about authenticity, particularly with Drake's use of the n-word and perceived cultural appropriation. Whatever happens next will likely only serve to pad the bank accounts of all involved. Thanks for listening- Remember to like and Share wherever you get your podcasts.

Travis Scott: A Comprehensive Biography Travis Scott, born Jacques Berman Webster II on April 30, 1991, in Houston, Texas, is a prominent American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Raised in Missouri City, a suburban area of Houston, Scott's early life was marked by exposure to music and creativity. He attended Elkins High School and later the University of Texas at San Antonio, but dropped out to pursue his passion for music. His stage name, Travis Scott, is a tribute to his favorite uncle and Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi. Scott's journey into music began in his teens when he formed a duo with his friend, Chris Holloway, known as The Graduates. They released an EP on MySpace in 2008, which marked his first official entry into the music scene. Later, he teamed up with OG Chess to form The Classmates, releasing two projects before the group disbanded due to personal and financial conflicts. Scott's big break came when he moved to Los Angeles and started working with well-known producers and artists. He caught the attention of T.I., who signed him to his label, Grand Hustle, and later, Kanye West, who brought Scott into his creative collective, Very GOOD Beats. Scott's debut mixtape, Owl Pharaoh, released in 2013, received critical acclaim and set the stage for his future success. Travis Scott's first studio album, Rodeo (2015), featured hits like "Antidote," which became a multi-platinum success. The album solidified his place in the mainstream music industry, showcasing his unique blend of trap, psychedelic music, and his characteristic autotune-laden vocal style. His sophomore album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, featuring collaborations with artists like Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar, and André 3000. However, it was his third studio album, Astroworld (2018), that catapulted Scott to international stardom. Named after a defunct theme park in Houston that Scott frequented as a child, the album was a commercial and critical triumph. The single "Sicko Mode," featuring Drake, became one of the biggest hits of the year, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning multiple Grammy nominations. In addition to his solo work, Travis Scott has been known for his high-profile collaborations across various music genres. He has worked with artists such as Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Young Thug, and has been involved in several successful joint projects. In 2019, Scott released a collaborative album with Jackboys, the first compilation from his label, Cactus Jack Records. Beyond music, Scott has expanded his brand into various business ventures. His collaboration with Nike, particularly his redesign of the Air Jordan 1, became a massive success, leading to a series of sought-after sneaker releases. Scott also ventured into the world of fast food with his partnership with McDonald's in 2020, where he became the first celebrity since Michael Jordan to have a meal named after him. This venture further cemented his status as a cultural icon. Despite his success, Travis Scott's career has been marred by several controversies. His concerts are infamous for their chaotic and high-energy atmosphere, which have often led to injuries among fans. In 2017, Scott was arrested after a concert in Arkansas where he allegedly encouraged fans to rush the stage, resulting in injuries. The most significant controversy came in 2021 with the Astroworld Festival tragedy in Houston, where a crowd surge during Scott's performance led to the deaths of ten people and injuries to hundreds. Scott faced widespread criticism for not stopping the concert earlier, despite visible signs of distress in the crowd. Multiple lawsuits were filed against Scott, Live Nation, and other organizers. Scott expressed his grief over the incident but faced legal and reputational repercussions that continue to impact his career. In July 2023, Travis Scott faced legal issues in Paris after an altercation at a nightclub. Reports suggest that Scott was involved in a physical altercation with the sound engineer, allegedly causing damage to equipment and property. The incident led to an investigation by French authorities, and while details remain scarce, it adds to the rapper's history of legal entanglements. Despite these challenges, Travis Scott remains a significant figure in the music industry. His influence on modern hip-hop, his ability to blend different genres, and his business acumen have made him one of the most successful and influential artists of his generation. Travis Scott's personal life has also been a subject of media attention, particularly his relationship with reality TV star and entrepreneur Kylie Jenner. The couple began dating in 2017 and welcomed their daughter, Stormi Webster, in February 2018. Their relationship has been on-and-off, and they are co-parents to Stormi and their son, Aire, born in February 2022. Scott is known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in his hometown of Houston. In 2020, he launched the Cactus Jack Foundation, which focuses on providing educational resources and scholarships to students from underprivileged backgrounds. Travis Scott's journey from a young aspiring musician in Houston to a global superstar has been marked by immense success, creative innovation, and significant controversies. His ability to influence not only the music industry but also fashion, business, and popular culture underscores his multifaceted talent and ambition. However, his career is also a reminder of the complexities and responsibilities that come with fame, especially in a world where public figures are constantly under scrutiny. As Scott continues to navigate his career amidst both accolades and challenges, his legacy in the music industry remains significant and ever-evolving.
