🔥⛽ 9th & GASOLINE IS COMING ⛽ 🔥
Set to make history as the first woman to release an album from prison in the US, B. Alexis' debut 9th & Gasoline is finally dropping February 27th ‼️
HER NEW SINGLE “BLOODLINE” IS OUT NOW!!
In “Bloodline,” B. Alexis unleashes a resentful, rapid-fire, aggressive flow over intense bass, rolling rhodes, and a soulful sample—turning pain into propulsion.
“I wrote ‘Bloodline’ when I was feeling abandoned by some of my family members. I’ve been incarcerated with a 30-year sentence since the age of 17. In the 16 years I’ve been down, there were some very lonely years. While I’ve made peace with that, it’s still hard watching people go hard for strangers while refusing to support their own blood. That taught me a lot about family. The ones that are chosen are the most precious.” - B Alexis
“I wrote “No Reason No Emotion” from a very logical standpoint. I wanted to break down cognitive behavior; separating thoughts from feelings, actions from consequences and perception from fact. It’s like a cheat sheet for being strategic, calculated and surviving in poverty. If you stick to those principles I wrote- you may be able to make it out.”
“I wrote ‘FTW’ in the midst of a real mental health struggle. I’ve battled depression, anxiety, PTSD and paranoia at various times in my life. This was not a cry for help, but an outlet; a refusal to give up in my most vulnerable moments. The battles of the mind can feel extremely lonely, but if you take your time and not give up you can make it to the other side of a mental health crisis. So I say to you: DON’T GIVE UP!!”
Her single “I Can’t Lie,” is in honor of her son, Ja’Mir Johnson, who in 2024 was tragically killed at school bus stop.
"I wrote this song in dedication to my son and other children whose parents are incarcerated. The sense of abandonment they can feel by not having their parent can sometimes create a void in them that cannot be fulfilled. I wanted to be honest and realistic with my son - not only about my situation, but about the world in general. These conversations are difficult with any child, but I would rather him hear it from me and generally speaking, I believe honesty builds an unbreakable bond." -B. Alexis
Her first single, “Black Barbie” was an ode to young women across the globe.
“I wrote “Black Barbie” for all the young girls struggling with the beauty standards for women. My hope is that this story helps them embrace their imperfect nature as humans while also using this story as a cautionary tale of the classic saying “everything that glitter ain’t gold”. What matters is what’s inside. True beauty is found in your heart & soul. So continue making people feel your divine femininity through your grace and your kind spirit. Protect it and never let the world strip you of what makes you stunning.”- B. Alexis
