In a 2017 interview with E! News, the pioneering Hip Hop artist said she was ready to set- tle down.
“I’m a little bit of a procras- tinator,” she said. “I had some things to deal with. I had to get a lot of partying out of my sys- tem early in life for about 40 years. You know what I’m say- ing. I’m good now. I think I’m ready.”

Netflix Pulls The Plug On ‘Luke Cage’, No Season 3 For Marvel’s Harlem Herom
Hip-Hop Infused Album
“Unfortunately, Marvel’s Luke Cage will not return for a third season,” Marvel and the streaming service said on Friday. “Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the dedicated showrunner, writers, cast and crew who brought Harlem’s Hero to life for the past two seasons, and to all the fans who have supported the se- ries.”
This axing of Luke Cage came as a surprise.

Solange’s return to music is coming sooner than you think. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the singer-songwriter updated fans about her next studio album and shared what sounds we can expect to hear from her. According to Solange, the album will arrive sometime this fall, although she wasn’t willing to give the project a concrete due date. “[It will] likely arrive into the world fully formed at some mysterious and unexpected moment,” she told the Times.
As for Solo’s creative process, the singer reportedly recorded the album in a hand- ful of different locations, in- cluding New Orleans, Jamaica, and California’s Topanga Canyon. And its sound may be just as diverse as the places she recorded in. “There is a lot of jazz at the core,” she contin- ued. “But with electronic and

The untiled LP will serve as a follow up to Solange’s suc- cessful 2016 project, A Seat at the Table. The album received critical acclaim and peaked at number one on the Billboard 200. It also earned her a Grammy for Best R&B Per- formance for her single “Cranes in the Sky.”
