August Anthony Alsina Jr. is an American R&B singer. He self-released his debut 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, Downtown: Life Under the Gun. The EP marked his first entry on the Billboard 200 and was preceded by his debut single, "I Luv This Shit", which peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. His 2014 follow-up single, "No Love", was met with similar commercial success, also receiving double platinum certification. Both songs were issued as lead singles for Alsina's debut studio album Testimony, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and saw critical praise. His second album, This Thing Called Life, was less commercially-oriented, but received 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.
