Strategy - Twice feat. Megan Thee Stallion
When this collaboration was announced, I was gagged! Especially after hearing Twice on the remix of Mamushi. I knew that this could be either really dope or really trash; I'm happy to say that it's the former and with them actually getting to meet in person for the music video as well. It's a nice vibe for Twice to add to their discography that sounds like a natural progression and comes across so grown, I have to love it! They never sacrificed their style and Megan got in where she could fit in without taking it too far. I'm thoroughly pleased with this collaboration, so I have to recommend it. Ah!
Favorite Live Performance
Tiny Desk Concert - Doechii
Doechii has truly been rising in visibility lately and this is the fever pitch! Alligator Bites Never Heal is a phenomenal project and this performance of a few of its standout tracks is proof of that. Yet, much more than that, this concert is evidence of the star power and talent that's just waiting to be thrust into the mainstream. As an extremely versatile female artist, she shows that she can rap with the best of them, sing with a few of them, and entertain like a superstar! Please give her your eyes for this set and tell me if I'm lying!

Why Kendrick Lamar Won a Pulitzer for DAMN. - Digging the Greats
I know that 2024 has been about Kendrick this and Kendrick that, but even this look back at his previous award-winning work is reason enough to keep him in the zeitgeist. Digging the Greats does a fantastic job looking into the lyrics, production, and sequencing of the 3rd major label album from K. Dot. If you've ever been curious what can make rap a true art form, this dive into this LP is a full demonstration of how. This channel is truly always Digging the Greats!
