Back in November 2024, Flau’jae Johnson would tease the works on her new album. Relationship, heartbreak, and growth. New themes and a new chapter in store she admitted. “It’s gonna be beautiful, it’s gonna be well put together… When the valentines day come, y’all gonna have some good content.” It’s 14th of February and looks like fans took the LSU star on her words.
Johnson’s latest project, Flau & B, has now taken off, making waves on a platform owned by a $3.67 trillion company. Johnson’s reaction? Pure excitement.
“OMGGGG let’s keep running it up,” she posted on X after Female Rap Charts announced, “Flau & B is now @Flaujae’s highest-peaking project on iTunes Top Albums US (All Genres) of her career.”
Flau & B is Johnson’s first full R&B and 3rd studio album, a personal and heartfelt project. “I poured my heart into this—every lyric, every melody. This ain’t just R&B. This is Flau & B,” she wrote on social media.
Before this moment, Johnson had already carved out a name for herself in music. She first gained recognition on Netflix’s The Rap Game, a show for young aspiring rappers. Though she didn’t win—Big Latto took the crown—Johnson’s talents caught the right eyes. She started releasing freestyles and independent tracks that gained traction, eventually signing with Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s iconic label.

Her first album, Best of Both Worlds, showcased her ability to balance music and basketball, an accomplishment few have managed. Now, with Flau & B climbing the charts, she’s proving that her game extends far beyond the court.
But while her music is soaring, Johnson’s impact on LSU’s basketball program is just as significant.
From Mic to Hardwood: Johnson, Morrow, and LSU’s Next Chapter
The Tigers, who cemented their legacy with a national title in 2023 behind Angel Reese, now find themselves in a new era. Reese may have moved on, but Johnson and Aneesah Morrow are ensuring the championship DNA remains intact, that too with a 25-1 run for the tigers.

On her podcast, Best of Both Worlds with Flau’jae, Johnson sat down with Morrow to address the burning question: How has the team’s dynamic shifted without Angel Reese? Morrow’s response was refreshingly confident.
“We’re more of a team-coached team… able to stay poised within those, and we’re able to lean on one another, and that’s kind of the difference from this team and last,” she said.
She further clarifies that “I think when Angel left they was like, ‘Oh, they going to miss that post presence.’ Nah, the Beast came and turned up!”
That “Beast” is Aneesah Morrow, and the numbers don’t lie. The senior forward is putting up 18.2 points and a nation-leading 14.2 rebounds per game—numbers eerily similar to Reese’s dominant 2022-23 campaign (23.0 PPG, 15.4 RPG).
Meanwhile, Johnson is thriving in her role, averaging 19.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while shooting 48.2% from the field. Together, they’ve propelled LSU to a 25-1 record, third in the SEC, and a five-game win streak.
Johnson isn’t just balancing two careers—she’s excelling at both. While Flau & B continues to climb the charts, she remains locked in on LSU’s championship aspirations. Whether she’s dropping buckets or dropping bars, Flau’jae Johnson is proving she can do it all—and do it at the highest level.
