- Gunplay


The rapper and his girlfriend Keyara are ready to start over in Miami. However, when Gunplay returns to the 305, his ex-girlfriend Miami Tip gives him far more than he bargained for. Will the vicious pull of temptation and past demons threaten to bring their romance to an end or can the couple fight to make love their No. 1 priority?

- Amara La Negra

After her success with Kulture Shock and opening for acts such as Calvin Harris and Ariana Grande, Steph Lecor signed to DJ Khaled's We The Best Music Group.

His personal life continues to be tested when his relationship with boyfriend Jeffrey "JT" Tompkins is rocked to the core by the return of former flame Malik Williams looking to shake things up in the name of love.
