Flau'jae Johnson is well-known as a hip-hop artist after the immense success of her debut EP. She talked about trying the new genre on Thursday's episode of her podcast, "Best of Both Worlds with Flau'jae."

"I want people to know that this R&B project, I'm not an R&B artist. I'm just tapping into some different lake, I'm in my Drake mode," she said. (43:37)

Flau'jae Johnson delves more into her latest album

In storytelling, it is common for the writer to see themselves in the character. In "Flau & B" Johnson tried to portray one of her alter egos, Monae, which she also revealed is her middle name. Talking about it on her podcast, she said:

"It's like my own. It's not R&B full, but it's me. This is like my alter ego. I would say the girl behind this project is Monae. She's crazy and Monae is my middle name if y'all don't know.

"She's crazy, she's in love but she's scared of love but she wants to love doesn't know how to love, can't accept the love. So, I love Monae and that's something I never told anybody about this project so I'm glad I said that."

While she is excited about the project, Flau'jae Johnson is also enjoying a great run with the LSU Tigers. With a 25-1 overall record, the Tigers are looking to build on their Elite Eight run last season and hopefully repeat their 2023 national championship win.
