August Alsina's, "NOLA" Delivers Reminiscence and Reflection

August Anthony Alsina Jr., formally known as "August Alsina", releases "NOLA" as a means to remind his fans and audience of who Alsina was in his mainstream rise to fame and behind closed doors.

The New Orleans singer begins his song with an audio montage of various listeners stating that they miss the "old August Alsina" from his 2014 era, and went as far to say that his new discography growth is considered "gay".

Throughout the track, Alsina provides insight upon the trials and tribulations which orchestrated his rise to success, along with the process of overcoming the darkest moments of his life. His introspective nature guides his listeners through his testimonies under an alternative R&B and hip-hop soul genre.
