August Anthony Alsina Jr.[2] (born September 3, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter.[3][4] He released his first mixtape The Product in 2012, which was followed by The Product 2 the following year; he signed with The-Dream's Radio Killa Records, an imprint of Def Jam Recordings to release his debut commercial extended play (EP), Downtown: Life Under the Gun (2013). The EP marked his first entry on the Billboard 200 and was preceded by his debut single "I Luv This Shit" (featuring Trinidad James), which peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His 2014 follow-up single, "No Love (Remix)" (featuring Nicki Minaj) was met with similar commercial success, likewise receiving double platinum certification.
Both songs were issued as lead singles for Alsina's debut studio album Testimony (2014), which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and saw positive critical reception.[5] His second album, This Thing Called Life (2015) released the following year and was less commercially-oriented, but was met with continued critical praise. During this time, Alsina notably guest performed on DJ Khaled's hit singles "Hold You Down" in 2014 and "Do You Mind" in 2016. After a long-tenured hiatus and departure from Def Jam, he independently released his third album, The Product III: State of Emergency in June 2020.
