He can really sing in real life. It's so many people who can't sing live, but are still in the industry.

[@missme1990]

He's so respectful, polite and humble. I LOVE how he answered Heather B with "yes ma'am". Southern gentleman. Sure he's thuggish because of where he came from and what he's been through but u can tell that he had a good heart. He always says "thank u" when someone pays him any type of compliment in his interviews. He's a real chill type of dude that's just trying to make it with the talent Good gave him.

[@wandasparks25]

I love August Alsina... He's the truth. This is real shit that real people can relate to. And his voice is one of a kind.

[@garbygarb31]

One of a kind? maybe not

[@dessietaytay4890]

I love this man. I pray he gets everything he deserves because he deserves billions. And I pray he never goes back to his old lifestyle. I support him 100%

Never saw 25 had to put him in the dirt. That line resonates so much with me because my older brother would've been 25 this year. He was also killed.

[@trinimami1]

That's my sister's HUSBAND she just loves his music and cannot go an hour without listening to it, I mean that's how much she loves his music and I would like to say, shout out to August Alsina I mean if it wasn't for him, my sister wouldn't want to sing but now she does and my family and I thank you for that, we do appreciate for what you do and its all about that DOWN SOUTH NEW ORLEANS LIFE so we thank you and we bless you with all our hearts, including my sister's. P.S. Her favorite song from you is "DOWNTOWN" bexause it reminds her of her cousin who got shot on her birthday, coming home from a party! Thank you for reading my long message!
