Rubi Rose Shocks Joe Budden, “I Don’t Write My Own Songs”

Rubi Rose made waves on the Joe Budden Podcast with a candid conversation that left fans buzzing. Known for her start as a video girl, Rose cleared up the online frenzy over her age during the “Bad and Boujee” video. But the real bombshell was about her songwriting process. Despite being labeled a rapper and songwriter, Rose admitted she doesn’t actually write most of her lyrics.

In a blunt exchange, Budden probed into Rose’s involvement in her music ahead of her debut album set for release in 2024. When asked if she wrote her songs, Rose simply replied, “No,” sparking a mix of awkward laughter and applause from the panel. The moment took a humorous turn when Rose flipped the question back to Budden, who confirmed that he does write his own songs.

The topic of ghostwriting in hip-hop has been a hot-button issue, especially with controversies surrounding artists like Drake. Female rappers, in particular, have faced intense scrutiny. In 2022, Coi Leray defended her pen game on Instagram Live after similar accusations.

Rubi Rose’s forthrightness extended beyond her music. She also addressed rumors about gang affiliation after being seen with gang signs and wearing red in 2022. “I’m not actually a gang member,” she clarified on the Big Facts podcast. “I just like throwing their gang signs up because it’s cute. I love the color red. I’m in no way a gang member, though.”

Whether or not Rose’s career has longevity remains to be seen, but her unfiltered honesty is making her a standout in the industry.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”

NOAH.

“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.

This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.

In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.

“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
