Could you use even more Summer Walker in your life? Look no further than what she’s brewing with her ‘Over It Radio’ heading over to Apple Music in the next 72 hours.

It’s a series of episodes airing on Apple Music with her new Finally Over It studio album on deck. Peep the deets.

Grammy-nominated R&B singer and songwriter, Summer Walker, today announced Over It Radio, a new radio series airing exclusively on Apple Music’s global live-streaming radio station.

The new six-episode series will be released ahead of her forthcoming, highly anticipated third studio album, Finally Over It, and following her current Billboard Hot 100 single “Heart Of A Woman.” The show will feature Summer discussing various themes including relationships, motherhood, friendship, and music — both her music and music she is into right now. 

"My vision for 'Over It Radio' is to create a safe space where I can own my own narrative and provide a platform for the women I admire in the entertainment industry to do the same. We discuss the topics that matter to them, without any hidden agendas,” Walker tells Apple Music. "Listeners can look forward to hearing powerful, accomplished women celebrating their successes, sharing their frustrations about what they're ready to move on from and keeping it real about the challenges they face as women, mothers and entrepreneurs."

On the debut episode airing this Friday, Dec 13, Summer Walker welcomes good friend and collaborator, Sexyy Red. Together they discuss what they are currently over, reminisce on past collaboration projects, and give hilarious advice to a fan calling in for guidance dealing with a sticky relationship. 

Tune in and listen to the first episode of Over It Radio this Friday, December 13th at 11am PT on Apple Music at apple.co/overitradio

Summer shared the news on IG this morning: https://www.instagram.com/p/DDXX3ExRXLW/

There’s really no competition when it comes to the streaming giants. Apple Music delivers on a regular basis and it’s deeper than rap, it’s really all about the interviews especially when you have hip-hop artist Coi Leray pulling through with Apple Music 1’s Eddie Francis to dish on everything from her new ‘Bops’ single to her next studio effort.

Coi Leray dishes on a variety of topics and while you’ll have to wait for the full-fledged video portion, peep some of the conversation highlights from the Eddie Francis Apple Music 1 convo.

Coi Leray Tells Apple Music About New Single “Bops”...

Come on. East Coast all day. It just has big energy period. I got to talk my s**t. I like to talk my s**t. I like to say what I got to say. And yeah, I'm just blessed and grateful to be here. I just been recording. I've been working on my debut, not my debut album, my second studio album. And I just, I'm always so versatile. One minute I want to sing, next minute I want to turn up. So in that case, once I heard the beat from Johnny Goldstein, once I heard the beat, I'm like, "Oh my God, this s**t is going to be insane." And I automatically got a hop right on it and I just got to talk my s**t, like summertime's coming and yeah, I feel like I got a lot to say.

Coi Leray Tells Apple Music Her Forthcoming Second Album is Going To Be “One of the Biggest Projects Ever”...

I'm so excited about this second album because it's really mostly myself. I told myself, like I have a couple features, which I'm going to keep it discreet because it's only literally a little bit, not even a handful, but I've been working on this project constantly, constantly. I stay in the studio. As you can see, I'm in my home. It's my home studio here. I'm constantly in the studio 24/7. I'm amazing when it comes to that mic. And at the end of the day, I know this project is going to be one of the biggest projects ever. Nobody's f***ing with me on it. When it comes to my melodies, my versatility, whether if I'm rapping, singing, doing the baby voice, if I'm dancing or whatever it is, I'm just that girl. And I say that in the most humble way. I feel like a lot of the headlines kind of overshadow my true talent and what God really brought me here to do. So I just can't wait because this album's going to show that and make people really put them in they face. And also the second album's going to make people go back to Trendsetter and make them actually appreciate it for the music instead of the bullshit and the negative headlines and Coi Leray always being the topic. This album is all about me. This is another thing. So I'll be 26. I feel like I look so young and people forget that I am actually a young adult developing into a very grown woman, and this is just Coi on a whole nother level, and that's a little hint for you.

Coi Leray Tells Apple Music About Her Rise To Fame and Motivation To Continue To Inspire...

I want to become the next icon, the next it girl for my generation. I feel like I am the best of my generation, I'm not even going to lie to you. And I feel like I hold that down. I was the first to break on TikTok, whether if it was No More Parties, BIG PURR, Blick Blick!, Anxiety, just every year upping my next move. Trendsetter, my album, to now having the top 10 record in the f***ing world. I just feel like it's go time. It's time for people to wake up and understand I'm here forever and there's a lot that I brought to this industry and I just want to continue to motivate, continue to inspire, continue to set trends, and just be the best I could be for real.

Coi Leray Tells Apple Music About Dealing With Body Shaming Her Entire Career…

I'm prepared for whatever honestly. I've dealt with the body shaming situation, honestly my whole entire career. Shout out to all the slim women out there. I feel like I actually paved that way in the music industry for a slim woman to just finally be accepted, honestly, after a very long time. I'm talking since Mya and Left Eye days. And it's something important you talk about. It's very something important you talk about. I wake up every day and say, "I love my body." I don't give a f**k. When I put my clothes on, I'm not saying "Yo, I'm going to put this on troll." I'm putting it on because I love to look good, I love to feel good. And that's what I personally, genuinely love to wear and like. When they make it about the body, it's just ongoing. This gets old after a while. It really does.

Coi Leray Tells Apple Music About Her First Coachella...

That was so dope. Shout Shenseea, shout out Tokischa. She brought us up. It was dope. The energy was super fire. It was hot as hell out there. And then the next day we end up, we performed at Revolve. That was my first time at Coachella ever. Had one of the most amazing times of my life. I got super lit. And yeah, what happens at Coachella stays at Coachella. And yeah, that's just period, we outside.
