    This song/video is such a great encapsulation of the different talents within a given "movement" I see in any genre of music right now. It's from a little over a year ago so things might be different now (or in the future) BUT

    Here's three and a half minutes of music billed to Latto but featuring Flo Milli, a slightly more gimmick-credited rapper, and Megan Thee Stallion, who is herself a kind of regulated, brand-safe version of Nicki Minaj. The breadth of their careers/statuses/talents is important here. Also Glorilla, ANOTHER trending female rapper, who has her own distinct place in the zeitgeist, is hanging out and does lip syncing at key moments in the video. She's not credited at all, she just wants to be around. It's a distinct cultural moment!!!

    You should be watching Connie TV

    Have I seriously not talked about Saving Connie on this blog? This is a YouTube channel by a producer/DJ/mashup artist/music influencer who does a variety of music-related things on his channel. One of them is called "Connie TV" and is a series of videos that are like a mashup DJ set of popular hip-hop infused with R&B/pop/indie music with well-curated video footage that mixes music videos and footage from the music's creators alongside some ~ good content ~, providing a sort of just-voicy-enough aesthetic that feels trend-chasing but also original at the same time. I'm not sure there's a vibier way to spend an hour or two than one of these compilations.
