As someone who has been releasing solo music since 2013, Bellinger has had time to evolve as an artist and showcase versatility for his fans. And in an time where there are more poppin musicians than ever before, he sees the importance of making every song a chart topping number. “This is an album of all hit records,” Bellinger explains. “Nieman really went all out with the production and the features. We’ve got huge features like Young Thug, Wale, Jerimih, Elliot Trent, Joe Moses and Blxst.”

Bellinger and Nieman J’s album “Optimal Music” is currently available for listening on Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL and YouTube.
