In 2015, Kehlani released her second mixtape “You Should Be Here” which earned her two Grammy nominations for Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best R&B Song. Since then, she has released several critically acclaimed albums including “SweetSexySavage” (2017), “It Was Good Until It Wasn't” (2020) and several singles such as “Good Life” featuring G-Eazy (2017).
