Music notes: Teyana Taylor, Cardi B, Janelle Monáe and more

The commercial for Teyana Taylor's sold-out Jordan 1 collaboration features her daughters as younger versions of herself, who grow into who she is today. With help from fairy godfather DJ Khaled, she goes from doubting her presence at the Sneaker Ball to a confident woman with the perfect outfit. “This is my love letter to Harlem and all of the dreamers around the world," she said.

Cardi B partnered with Knorr for Taste Combos, a menu of delicious and affordable recipes. She says the recipes are quick and easy to make, noting her “picky” daughter, Kulture, happens to love them. Cardi says she likes “to cook everything that's easy,” including tacos. Her husband, Offset, is a fan of soul food.
