Necole Bitchie's Intimate Conversation With August Alsina

Celebrity blogger Necole Bitchie shares a recollection of her interview with August Alsina.

Who is August Alsina?
Two weeks ago, if you had asked me about August, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you anything.  All I knew was that he was a tatted up R&B singer, who had a #1 record “I Luv This,” which featured Trinidad James on the original version and Chris Brown and Trey Songz on the remix.  I also knew that he had at some point formed a brotherhood with Trey Songz, but that friendship had dissolved over time.
Have I made personal judgments about August at some point? Possibly…
Last Wednesday, before a media dinner to celebrate August’s new album Testimony, I dropped by the W Hotel in Hollywood to meet and get to know the 21-year-old New Orleans native.
