Prestige Exclusive– Prestige caught up with one of our favorite female groups SWV after one of their sold out performance in Newport News, VA. SWV talk to us about thier upcoming projects and why they is indeed one of the hardest working female groups in the entertainment industry today.
When I say the name SWV, we all know that I’m talking about Coko, Taj, and Lelee. SWV is one of 1990’s most successful R&B groups. A few of their hits include: You’re The One”, “Weak”, “Right Here/Human Nature”, and “I’m So Into You”. SWV made their debut in the music scene in 1992 with the album It’s About Time. It went Certified Triple Platinum, with four hit singles and “Weak” being one of their biggest hits. The album New Beginning followed in 1996 going Certified Platinum, and in 1997 their album Release Some Tension hit the charts and went Certified Gold.
I caught up with the group after one of their sold out performance in Virginia. Everyone was on their feet as soon as SWV walked out on stage. The crowd was screaming so much so that I thought I was going to have to get a hearing test later. The group gave a powerful performance taking us down memory lane with so many of their hits and even doing a great performance by remaking Patti Labelle’s song “If Only You Knew”,. But they did it the SWV way and at the same time keeping some it the Patti Labelle way. Lelee mesmerized the crowd with her vocals when it came time for her to do her part and then Coko took it on home with hitting the high Patti Labelle notes that even had me screaming and clapping along with the crowd. The way SWV performed If Only You Knew, I know it would have even made Patti Labelle proud. After the concert I was fortunate enough to be able to speak with them and I tell you these girls are back and ready to climb the charts. They are working now on forth coming reality show, back in studio recording their up-coming album, and at the same time traveling and performing those many hits that we have all grown to love. There is surely more in store for us when it comes down to SWV. In a way how could they be coming back when they never left the hearts of their true fans anyway. Good luck to SWV and looking forward to the upcoming album and reality show.

Cardi B just accomplished something no other female rapper has done.
Thanks to her latest single, I Like It, the New York native is the first female rapper with two songs to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the music magazine reported Monday.
The track featuring Latin music stars Bad Bunny and J Balvin was released in May, and is the latest single off Cardi B’s debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy.
It follows the release of club anthem Bodak Yellow (Money Moves), which climbed to the top of the Hot 100 in October.
Four other female rappers have previously landed No. 1 singles on the Hot 100, including Lauryn Hill with Doo Wop (That Thing) in 1998. Lil’ Kim had Lady Marmalade with Christina Aguilera, Mya and Pink in 2001. Shawnna was featured on Ludacris’ single Stand Up in 2003, and Iggy Azalea with Fancy featuring Charli XCX in 2014.
Before her album was released, Cardi B began to garner attention as a regular castmember on the VH1 reality series Love & Hip Hop: New York.
She is currently expecting her first child with rapper Offset of hip-hop trio Migos.
The two tied the knot last year, but never went public with their marriage until Offset let it slip on stage last month during the BET Awards that they are husband and wife. Cardi B has since confirmed the marriage on social media.

Mariah previously told fans she was only cancelling shows up until November 27, telling her followers: ‘Lambs! Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, it seems I’ve received a present of my own; a lovely upper respiratory infection after last week’s flu. Bleak!’
She added: ‘You know there is nothing I love more than celebrating the holidays with my festive Christmas show, but I have to take my Doctor’s orders and rest until he says I can sing on stage.
‘Until then, unfortunately, I have to cancel the first several shows of my upcoming Christmas tour. ‘I’m going to do all that I can so that I can see you soon.’
She was also recently forced to pull out of the LA premiere of her animated nativity film The Star, blaming an upset stomach.
While Carey was feeling “under the weather” over Thanksgiving, her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, spent the holiday feeding the homeless with their dad, Nick Cannon.
