Mýa Sets Sail On Her ‘Girls Cruise’ And Spills The Tea On What Really Went Down

Speaking of Jamaica, you were just in Kingston working on new music. Was this inspired by your island adventures?

The TKO album came out last year, so the fans are ready for some new music. I love the Caribbean culture and I’ve had my share of collaborations in the Caribbean. Ding Dong and I recently collaborated. He’s a Dancehall artist in Jamaica — in the top 3 right now. It’s a record called “Hands Free” out right now, on a project called Sex Ting Riddim, which features various artists. We shot the video in Kingston, and I also shot two other videos — one from the TKO album as well as a brand new upcoming music which comes out next week. There’s a song called “Whine” which is the single, and it’s a bit of world music mixed with Caribbean. It feels like home to me, so I’m bringing it back.

More music videos are coming.

Watch it be for Open. She refuses to give me a video for Knock You Out. 🤬

[stunnedout]

I wish she would at least do a partnership with EOne or something. She has put out some great song that at LEAST deserve Urban AC airplay.

How do y'all feel about the show ?

Happy Sweet 16 Moodring!

[Kishi KCM]

I'm glad she's got a larger platform. I've always liked her music, personality, and work ethic.

[stunnedout]

I like Girls Cruise, but you can tell she isn't as comfortable on reality tv.

Haqq Islam, Industry Veteran Behind Dru Hill & Mya, Launches Contra Records

Haqq Islam -- whose University Records signed and developed such gold and platinum-selling acts as Sisqo, Dru Hill and Mya -- signals his return with a new label called Contra Records. The New York-based company's roster includes singer-songwriters Alia Lene and Tina DeCara, and rapper Casey808. All three acts released new singles Friday (Sept. 20), “Morning,” “I’m With Me” and “Bandz,” respectively.

In addition to Islam, Contra’s executive team includes his business partner and nephew Aaron Eubanks and president Cheryl Marks. Marks’ background includes posts as vp marketing at Sony Music Entertainment and director of marketing at Jive Records.

Explaining the inspiration behind the new label, Islam says, "It’s us against the world, a whole new model. We’re out here going against the grain worldwide. I believe these three talented artists are world-changers that will build on the tradition I began with University."

Through joint venture deals with major labels Interscope, Def Jam, Sony and Warner Bros. (now Warner Records) between the late '90s and early 2000s, Islam’s University Records garnered 10 No. 1 singles and 20 top 10 singles. Those credits include Dru Hill’s “In My Bed,” “Never Make a Promise” and “How Deep Is Your Love,” Mya’s “It’s All About Me” with Sisqo and “Case of the Ex (Whatcha Gonna Do),” and Sisqo’s “Thong Song,” plus film music hits “Wild Wild West” with Will Smith featuring Dru Hill and Moulin Rouge’s “Lady Marmalade” featuring Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya and Pink.

In addition to launching Contra, Islam is currently in talks for a TV biopic about Dru Hill, who will be spotlighted during an episode of cable network TV One’s popular series Unsung airing later this year. Islam also helms Rucker Park Prep, a youth sports and entertainment organization. Each summer RPP holds a basketball tournament for youths 10-17 years old in the tri-state area at historic Rucker Park in Harlem, New York, where legends such as Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have competed. Among RPP’s sponsors is Def Jam. The organization also offers year-round social, cultural and financial literacy activities to help the players transition into college and beyond.
