August Alsina: ‘We don’t need two Chris Browns’
August Alsina isn’t the stereotypical contemporary R&B star. The New Orleans native doesn’t just sing about romantic love and loss, he sings story songs about his hardscrabble upbringing and the street lifestyle he’s seen in his city. And for the 21-year old Def Jam artist, he’s happy to do something that sets him apart from the pack of current R&B mainstays.
