Eric Bellinger Feat. Wale – Treat Yourself
Taken from Eric Bellinger’s upcoming release Eric B. For President: Term 2, which drops March 10th. The singer-songwriter also explained the track to VIBE, who premiered the single:
‘Treat Yourself’ is easily one of my favorite joints on the project. I love all of the songs but this one is special to me because it’s the first time I’m actually being kind of braggadocios on a record. Over the years I’ve had some success and I tend to keep quiet about my personal life especially in the department of material things. I thought it was time to let people know what time it is.
Wale is someone I’ve been working super closely with lately. It was genuine, it was organic. When he heard the song he immediately hopped on. It’s always great working with Wale, I’m actually headed to the studio to work with him now for his new project. There’s never any effort put forth when we work, it’s crazy. Our chemistry alone could write a hit record. We’re both extremely passionate about the art and the culture. It’s rare to meet someone that actually cares about the music and the feeling behind it nowadays so when we linked we pretty much clicked instantly and it’s been magic ever since.

Said Derulo of his new collaboration to Billboard:
It’s one that kind of made sense… I never believe in forcing a collaboration. You know, I’m a fan of both of theirs and I thought that they fit the track perfectly. It’s one of those ones that’ll get you up and doing your thing. I feel like it’s gonna stick out on the radio. There’s nothing that sounds like it.
You know [me and Nicki are] from the islands. So, we really took it there and it’s definitely a must-see. As soon as the video comes out, make sure you’re clicking.
DJ Premier & Miguel – 2 Lovin U
When Miguel started promotions for his third studio album (Wildheart 2016), he did so with an Instagram post of him and DJ Premier in the studio together working on a track together. That track, recorded during the making of Wildheart, mysteriously appeared in a different form, under the title “Damned,” when the album (which would be later nominated for two Grammy Awards) was officially released.
Today, we not only get answers and closure, but the fans receive a pleasant surprise with the official release of a great new single featuring Hip-Hop icon DJ Premier and R&B superstar Miguel.
“The snippet you heard on Miguel’s Instagram, mine is the original” DJ Premier declared. Miguel and I were vibing at a session and just really seeing what we could come up with. What we came up with was a dope, but rough version of what you hear today. Miguel and I had deadlines and we never got around to finishing it. We both really believed in this version of the track and we both felt very strongly that it needed to come out and be released as a single” Miguel and I approached the label about releasing it and everyone was on-board” Premier clarified.
Miguel and Premier always wanted to find a special way to release this track for the fans, now entitled “2 LOVIN U,” and true to their words, they have. On Valentine’s Day, ESPN began playing 20-second snippets of “2 LOVIN U” on SportsCenter and First Take leading up to its retail release today. “The track having a different title gives it a new light” DJ Premier states. “Wait until you see the video”!
“2 LOVIN U” is the first release from Premier’s new imprint TTT (To The Top) and is now available worldwide.
Also, in addition to scoring the entire series, DJ Premier is also an executive producer for VH1’s “The Breaks” series which premiered last night and will be airing every Monday at 9pm (EST).
