Jamaica-born, New York-raised dancehall artiste Tina — formerly known as Hood Celebrityy — scores her second Billboard entry with Roses , which enters the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart at #40. Roses is the first single from her recently released sophomore album Tina vs Hood Celebrityy , which was released in May via The KSR Group. In an interview with Billboard in June, Tina spoke about the inspiration for Roses : “Roses definitely was Tina.
Roses is going to be a big record, because I’m really for women. I’m really for uplifting females and making them feel good about themselves. For women, there’s so much stuff out there that’s placed on us.
It’s so much pressure that it got to be somebody to remind them that they’re beautiful and deserve their roses. Some people give you your flowers when you’re dead. Give women their flowers now.
“I’m just that voice for a young girl or a grown woman — it don’t matter the age. I have a lot of people that I deal with that have no self-esteem. They don’t feel pretty and that’s because somebody made them feel that way,” Tina told Billboard.
