SAILORR and Eem Triplin's "Coconut" hits the top 10 on Hot R&B Songs (up 15-10).
The viral track is SAILORR's second top 10 on the chart, after "Pookie's Requiem" reached a No. 10 best in 2025.
born in a garage🤘🏾and written while I was reading octavia butler’s 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳, “idea 1” is about what it feels like to exist in this climate — the weight of being expected to witness, absorb, and speak truth at a time when the world feels like it's unraveling. that's a particular kind of burden Black women know intimately. this song doesn't offer answers, it just refuses to look away.

just watched some kid scream at a small venue box office that the artist’s fan page put them on the guest list for the show, get beat up by 4 security guards, and then get arrested. the underground is alive and well still
in they era u had to actually prove yourself & sell real hard copies. the way music was consumed & valued was way different on they come up. that breeds a different type of work ethic for an artist. 1 album sale is literally like 1500 streams today, the literal value of music isn’t the same to listeners today. you get ALL THE MUSIC IN THE WORLD for $12 a month, bruh that was the price of 1 ALBUM back then. the listener had higher standards back then now you just need 12 seconds of ya song to hit on tiktok & even after that niggas not checking for u. the consumer changed so artists work ethic changed . the WHOLE GAME changed. for better or for worse idk , but that’s jus where shit evolved
One year ago today, Eem Triplin released his debut album ‘Melody of a Memory’ 😵💫
Executive produced by DJ Dahi, the 13-track project showcased a new side to Triplin’s sound, evolving as an artist altogether.
“This project reveals parts of me that I haven't shared before and also shows a side of my sound that I haven't shown folks yet,” Eem shared in a statement. “I think it shows my evolution as an artist, and I hope people hear that.”
The artwork was created by acclaimed mixed media artist Landon Khiry. What tracks have you gone back to most?
