Eric Bellinger and Nieman J have joined forces to debut their first collaborative album, “Optimal Music” via C Records/EMPIRE Distribution. Eleven tracks deep, the album also boasts guest features from Wale, Young Thug, Jeremiah, Joe Moses and production from Foreign Teck, J. Gramm, Mike Free and Cassio.
When Nieman said he wanted to do a joint project, I was hype from the jump. Every time we link on something whether it’s music or anything else for that matter… it adds that magical touch! When you’re collaborating with someone, TRUST is an essential factor. It’s so hard to come by in this business but when you do have it… It’s a deadly weapon! – Eric Bellinger
Nieman J adds, “I’m a creative who had taken a step back to handle the business side so that Eric could get his story out the way he envisioned first. I feel that now is the perfect time because we’ve not only fulfilled that, but he’s been blessed with incredible success as an artist, husband and business man.”
Following their viral #ClimaxChallenge, a tribute to their big bro, Usher, the two have kicked off another hashtag, #CouchStandingChallenge – in honor of their single, “Couch Standing.” In addition to social media campaigns, the two are active in their ongoing live acapella singing competition as well via IG Live.
