Intro

Welcome to the April 26th issue. Lately, I've been listening to A LOT of rap. I am enjoying Drake and Cardi B as well as will.i.am.

Music Choice Number 1

Thru Your Phone by Cardi B

I like this one. I'm not much of a rap girly but this one combines rap and pop and does it flawlessly.

lyric sample

My heart is beating like it's bleeding out

You sleepin', you sleepin', you sleepin'

You sleeping like a baby

Everyone was right about you now, and

You creepin', you creepin', you creepin'

I went through your phone last night

I went through your phone last night

Saw some things I didn't like

I went through your phone last night

It's killin' me, killin' me, killin' me, oh

Thru Your Phone - Cardi B

Cardi B + Drake + will.i.am = rap

These three are essential to a rap playlist. You've gotta have at least one song by all three as well as some Nicki Minaj and Lil Nas X. Seriously, these three are a necessity even for a pop lover. Each artist has a pop-influenced song, and they are flawlessly executed. If you are looking for a rap artist in a new language go for Young Miko. She's a Puerto Rican rapper who knows her stuff.

Sunday Crossword J. Maya

I recently covered this song and it turned out nice. It's still stuck in my head.

A sample from the lyrics

What's a nine-letter word for how you feel?

There's a U and I together

But it's missing a few letters

Is it misguided or disguised as something real?

It can't be unrequited

'Cause my feelings are too big

There's so much I wanna tell you

But I don't know if it'll fit

bad day by Charlotte Sands

This is my official obsession last.FM

lyric sample

I had a no good, really bad, messed up day

And I'm stressed out, super sad, not okay

I'm never gettin' better, no, it's not a phase

And I like it that way (like it that way)

I had a no good, really bad, messed up day

And I'm stressed out, super sad, not okay

I'm never gettin' better, no, it's not a phase

And I like it that way (like it that way)
