Rest in peace, Chase. You are forever in our hearts.

TW: Suicide.  

It took me a really long time to fully digest the passing of my favorite artist. It kinda hits you like a ton of bricks; at first, I was shocked. I couldn’t imagine someone as cheerful as this man was actually going through so much more than what I could imagine. Being perpetually stuck in the same routines with the same people sharing the same negative convictions that are shoved down your throat and nailed into your head as a child; giving you some sort of unrealistic image of yourself: the “Perfect Being” that if you don’t become. If you will fail, you’ll be a disappointment to people as they’ve built an expectation of you through their own trauma. I can empathise with that as I’ve grown in that same environment. I thought I couldn’t understand what being happy and free was until I was able to escape that vicious cycle.

Chase Amick (AKA. 6dogs) committed suicide on the 26th of January this year.

laying-down_250x250.png

While mental health and wellbeing are being brought up to the forefront of music for the past few years; it never covered the more subtle ways the mental state of a person can deteriorate. The most popular music nowadays talks about murder and the repercussions of murder; the mental toll it has on people and their loved ones. However, Chase was talking to the people that weren’t forced into a life they didn’t wanna lead – be it gang warfare or drug dealing. He was talking to the kid that didn’t have any friends growing up, the one that was bullied at school for having long hair, the one that held their parents to the highest degree and immortalised them as if they were god themselves.

I was that kid.

Let’s start talking about his album that came out after the incident: RONALD.

If you’ve read my previous article on 6dogs, I’m sure you can tell that I’m a HUGE fan of his entire discography and his overall sound. But this album made me cry harder than any movie, book, break-up, or record that I’ve ever experienced before.

Once again, I write this article with swollen eyes and tears on my cheeks for how beautifully crafted and thoughtful this masterpiece is. We’ll be doing the same old same old; review my favourite tracks and implore you to listen to the rest on you own (even though I would recommend ANY and EVERY song off this album).

When I Was A Baby:

This song is all about Chase reminiscing about his past, being one of the weird outcasts from most “fun” things when he was younger while also contrasting that exact point by talking about how much he’s progressed in his artistic ventures. The chorus practically explains this, stating that: “Died my hair when I was 16. Weird boy ballin’, Dennis Rodman on the 18.”

In addition to the thoughtful lyricism, the song just BANGS. The revered melody that chops and screws at certain points to give space and emphasis on the delivery. The heavy and spacey 808 coupled with a fruity, bouncy hihat pattern makes for a song to just sit down for and appreciate (specially the DBZ references).

Starfire (Teen Titans):

One of the two singles to come out as per album rollout; Starfire sounds like being transported to an intergalactic landscape and doing donuts in an all-Black Escalade. The lyricism centers around (from my perspective) social anxiety; the rush of escapism from driving down a highway at 3 AM trying to avoid all social interactions since they bring 6dogs “tears all up on my phone". A whole lot of feels with this one while still banging harder than most of the songs on your playlist.

 Genie In A Bottle:

This is the song I play when I wanna get in my feel real quick; it’s the sort of sad vibe that also goes out of its way just to flex how much 6dogs drips, so I like feeling as if I could drip like that too.

As far as bars go, the song’s about going against the expectations built by people that try to put you out of the game when all you should be caring about is getting in your bag;  the people that wish for your downfall but you blow all of those assumptions out the window and gain big time. However, from time to time, they can get to you. Reminding you of how weak you were back then and being grateful for what you’ve been able to build up all on your own.

  (All these emotions flood you as the beat literally blows your speakers up.) 

That’s it. That’s the album, these are my thoughts, and this is how much I love and appreciate everything 6dogs left. I think the main reason I could talk the ears off my friends about Chase is that I feel as though if he were still around, I’d end up having him as a friend.

I know it sounds lame and pretty sappy, but I genuinely believed he’d blow up and that he’d get his flowers back when his self-titled album came out in 2017. But he didn’t, and it really upset me; it’s as if he just fell off the face of the Earth after releasing “Faygo Dreams”.

Anyways, thank you for reading this. I really hope you decide to listen to RONALD and the rest of his backlog. I think the best place to start would be the entirety of RONALD, then jumping to his 2019 release “Hi-Hats And Heartaches”; specifically “Cryin’ In The Rarri”, “It’s Worth Feeling Empty <3” and “Butterfly Doors to My Mind” (also read my article on “Hi-Hats And Heartaches”).

Cheers to good music.

Big Sean - Detroit 2

detroittt.png

Big Sean is back and in seemingly the biggest way possible. Coming off of a three-year hiatus after the release of his I Decided album, which is now certified RIAA Platinum, Big Sean decided that there wouldn’t be a better place to stage a comeback than back in his home of Detroit, Michigan. Detroit 2 is a sequel to Sean’s 2012 mixtape of the same title. 

What makes this a standout record for us at Nefarious Supply is the sheer hunger in Sean’s lyricism, flow, delivery, and topics tackled. We see the Detroit-born artist reach down into the Michigan earth and take tight hold of his roots. 

In this review, NS is here to tell you all our absolute favorite tracks off the album! Sean Don is back, and needless to say, we’re glad that he is. 😈

Deep Reverence (ft. Nipsey Hussle)

Deep Reverence is Big Sean’s chance for recollection and introspection. A golden track from start to finish, Nipsey Hussle deepens the meaning behind the track’s title and even Sean’s subject matter, with him looking back on his life and how far he’s come since then. On the song the two rap heavyweights trade bars about the various pressures of life, whether its pleasing fans, staying true to oneself. gang violence, personal troubles, and the rap game as a whole.

Big Sean states in February 2020: “I was working on this song with Nip and then Nip passed…”

He eventually released the song having finalized it, saying: “the world needs to hear [and] feel Nipsey presence!”

Wolves (ft. Post Malone)

Wolves establishes the first collaboration between Big Sean and Post Malone. Originally helming an A$AP Rocky verse, the track’s feature artist was soon switched to Post Malone, saving the Rocky collab for another track on the album. The wolves Big Sean is referring to in this track are his family. The two artists draw distinct parallels between their environment and community and wolves, invoking themes of dominance and loyalty to the pack.

The feature on this heavily murky production serves to only accentuate the theme behind the music, that they were raised by wolves, in a cold world, where you can be predator or prey.

ZTFO

ZTFO, short for “Zen The Fuck Out” which is a phrase the listener will become pretty familiar with, is another breakout track from the album. It features stellar adlibs by fellow rap heavyweight, Travis Scott, as well as fine-tuned production by Chase B, and sports Big Sean redistributing the various channels bad energy that comes in his direction. He never lets these bad vibes control or affect his state of mind, by the end of his infectious track, we’re pretty sure you’ll be singing the chorus too.

Guard Your Heart (ft. Anderson .Paak, Earlly Mac & Wale)

Guard Your Heart is one of our slower selections from Detroit 2. A beautiful walk through a metaphorical park with Anderson .Paak in one hand and Earlly Mac in the other, Big Sean skips along this song this introspective hit as both artists at his side lead him seamlessly to the final verse, hammered home by Wale. This is a point in the album where Big Sean reins himself in, as all four artists delve into their innermost thoughts.

Respect It (ft. Young Thug)

Respect It is the eleventh track on the album and has both Young Thug and Sean Don claiming the respect they deserve. With production handled by Detroit 2’s executive producer, Hit-Boy, the two rappers state their various accomplishments and takes inventory over their material belongings, flexing and demanding the deference and acclaim that got them to this point of their career in the first place.

The grungy trap beat fits underneath the two vocalists well, and the beat switch near the end seals the deal for us for this track.

Lithuania (ft. Travis Scott)

Probably the most popular song on the album, Lithuania features our very own Texas-made Travis Scott, who tackles a very infectious chorus with our very own Sean Don. The two trade bars on his braggadocious banger, rapping about their many travels and how fly they look at TSA and Baggage Claim, which is probably a nod to the northeast European country this song was named after. A catchy hook and even catchier bars, this is a solid track through and through.

Don Life (ft. Lil Wayne)

Don Life is the most celebratory track off of Detroit 2 for us. Featuring rap legend Lil Wayne and sampling the legendary Michael Jackson track, “Human Nature”, the two artists drop heavy verses discussing their relentless work ethic and perseverance in the face of hate and doubt. This collab was first teased in May 2019, and was the second half of a the same studio session where they released “I Do It”.

Kaash Paige - Teenage Fever

teenagefever.png

D’kyla Paige Woolen, known professionally as Kaash Paige is a break out singer-songwriter, hailing from Dallas, Texas. Signing with Se Lavi Productions and Def Jam Recordings at just 19 years of age, Paige is also now managed by the Jay-Z helmed Roc Nation. With this and her blowing up on TikTok Paige had all the right ingredients to drop a lustrous freshman album, and solidify herself as a new addition to the game.

So, she did.

Take a look at our review for Teenage Fever, down below! 😈

London

The first track on the album, Kaash starts the album with a slow-burning production with a nice guitar progression and a complimenting 808 that slows even further to mesh with her warped vocals at points of the track. Paige speaks on topics of loyalty, her ambitions for the future, and how she peeps everything from her spot at the famous London, hence the title.

Grammy Week

Grammy Week is pretty self-explanatory in its theme. Kaash sings and raps over a watery and clouded beat which clears itself up to reveal some subtle synth-like progressions overtop a nice and staccato-sequel beat. With a fitting guest feature from Don Toliver, the two touch on the topic of success, with even Kaash predicting her Grammy night at the beginning of the track.

Lost Ones

Kaash slides over Lost Ones, her voice dances over the beat effortlessly and her vocal runs, plus the flow of her lyricism lead the listener on a nice yet compelling journey, letting them get comfortable but not complacent in actively hearing her lyrics, which touch on love and the search for the lost ones in question. 

Soul Ties (ft. ssgkobe)

With a beautiful guitar riff opener, Kaash Paige slides onto the first few seconds of Soul Ties with a fitting, soulful take on her fear of being taken for granted and played with. ssgkobe compliments this theme by reassuring that as long as they're together she’s all he’s focused on. Together they ride out the chorus. “Down for the worse or the better.” 

Fake Love (ft. 42 Dugg)

Seeming to be a recurring theme in her style of music, Kaash starts off Fake Love with a bouncy, repeating guitar riff, which is soon flavored with tasty 808s and synths. The production surrounds Paige’s vocals in a beautiful coating, as if they're both guiding each other to a satisfying finish. Her topic is very straight forward, and 42 Dugg hammers this point home with his pinpoint feature. 

Jaded

A darker and more introspective take on her new relationship with the individual in question, revealing the problems that have strained their relationship from the start. She reassures that all they need is some practice, because at this point, their love seems to have come to a halt. Paige again effortlessly conveys her message with a vibe attached. 

FRIENDS

An upbeat addition on Teenage Fever, Paige switches between beats and warped vocals, creating an almost Travis Scott-esque atmosphere for the listener as she conveys her lack of trust for the world. She can't be more than friends with anyone, and can't even imagine anything more than those car rides in a Benz.

 

Break Up Song (ft. K CAMP)

Break Up Song is Kaash Paige’s apology in advance to anyone she gets involved with. She’s a dog through and through, and wants them to know they can easily leave her be, but if they want to be apart of the world, then here’s the disclaimer. K CAMP eats his verse and rides the wave reinforcing Paige’s take before she swings back in for the infection hook once again.

Pull Up 

Kaash Paige rides yet again with an addicting acoustic opener that climbs before dropping into a deep and full 808, that Paige dwells in before surfing into the chorus of the track. Pull Up has Paige keeping things lowkey with someone, asking them to pull up (most likely in the aforementioned Benz) and getting lit in the front seat, and back. 

Problems (ft. Isaiah Rashad)

With an incredibly rare feature from TDE’s very own Isaiah Rashad, Paige pours her soul out on the track, even starting off the bat telling the listener there’s a lot on her mind. Spending habits, soul searching, inconsistency, these are all worries that Paige is completely transparent about. Rashad conveys how he deals with these perpetual problems in life, by heading to his “throne” or his crib, where his friends stay, lighting up a jay and vibing with the crew for the night. 

SOS

Paige’s acoustic intro is softer and more deliberate on SOS, and her vocals, which stay the same in intensity and tone, are focused to more lighter and colorful aftertones. Her vocals are beautiful, with the autotuned runs doing feats akin to Trippie Redd’s level raw intensity. Fake friends, failed relationships, the price of fame, political strife, even through it all Paige still has the strength to know that the sun shines on, after the darkest nights. 

Mrs. Lonely 

A synth opening this time, Paige vibes on the intro, before creatively asking what the point of friends even is if they end up leaving in the end. Paige feels mentally lost and as if her time is running out, the only thing that seems to slow this down are the drugs she consumes. At the end of the melancholy second-to-last, Paige ponders what the other side looks like. 

Karma 

The final track on Teenage Fever, Paige takes a moment to sit down and talk with the listener about this crucial stage of adolescence, and all that comes with it, depression, relationships, love, hate, drugs, and as she says, everything else. The production gradually raises with the intensity of her voice, before all coming to the momentous halt, and then Karma starts. The aforementioned other side? Yeah, this is it. And instead of wondering about it, Paige actively yearns for the deceptive mistress. 

For the last track, Paige hammers it home that she is here to stay, past TikTok, past any dance or singing challenge, or any views, Kaash Paige has made her mark.

BROCKHAMPTON Heals Old Wounds with GINGER

brockhampton-new-album-ginger-1563478174-compressed.jpg

BROCKHAMPTON is an American rap collective based out of San Marcos, Texas. The self-proclaimed boyband reached stardom through the release of their SATURATION trilogy back in 2017, where the group released three full-length LPs within months of each other, all of them dense with potent lyricism, incredible production, and even some semblance of lore and world-building.

Ameer.jpg

By the time the band released SATURATION III , they’d cultivated a dedicated, almost cult-ish fan base, with millions of views on their music videos and live shows that were sold out to the nosebleeds. There seemed to be no way the boys could stop their forward momentum. They’d even signed a million dollar deal with recording label, RCA Records.

And then, the news of Ameer Vann caught fire.

BROCKHAMPTON had a fourth album in the works titled Puppy, however the project was soon delayed due to allegations of sexual misconduct and emotional trauma, levied against ex-member, Ameer Vann. When these allegations turned out to be true, the boyband addressed them in a Twitter post (to the left), stating that Ameer was no longer apart of the group, and that they had been lied to.

This decision, though in line with the band’s brand and cultural sensitivity, as well as their own personal morals, divided their fan base. Fans that were happy about the decision and praised them for sticking to their standards, no matter who it may have been, clashed with those who thought their verdict was unfair and completely out of left field.

This, plus the obvious pain and confusion the members themselves felt towards the situation, drove them to cancel the remaining dates of their tour, as well as stop the production of Puppy all-together, due to Vann’s heavy presence and influence on the project.

During these few months, the band went on hiatus, in order to regroup and recover from the incident.

On August 26, 2018, after the release of various tracks, listed under the the boyband dropped their fourth official studio album, iridescence. The album was a drastic difference to their earlier projects, and even though it was received fairly well, even reaching number one on the US Billboard 200, making it the group’s first chart-topping album, it seemed as though the band hadn’t fully come to grips with who they were as artists after their departure from Ameer.

The band themselves seemed to empathize with the way their fans felt, and took another hiatus after their i’ll be there tour, bleeding up into the next year, where vocalist Kevin Abstract dropped his second album, Arizona Baby in April. Soon after, he announced on an Instagram story that BROCKHAMPTON were working on their fifth studio album, GINGER.

When the album finally dropped just this past week, the response was undeniably positive. On this album, BROCKHAMPTON seems to have reached a state of maturity and introspection that could only come from the experiences and lessons they’d learned throughout this entire ordeal. If iridescence was the representation of the boys’ ambivalence, then GINGER is definitely their direct response to everything that has happened in their lives in the past year and a half.

6z2zvtk9mdb31.jpg

The opening track NO HALO, which feature rising artist Deb Never, thrusts listeners into the center of GINGER’s theme, going back to your roots, without forgetting just how far you’ve come. The track takes on themes of imperfection, failed relationships, breakups, substance abuse and mental health, which bolsters the somber ripeness of the band’s sound.

The following track, SUGAR speaks to the band’s longing for love in the midst of drug obsessions and sleepless nights in empty beds. It’s an ode to the heart, a concept BROCKHAMPTON seems to have down to a tee. BOY BYE almost completely obliterates the last two somber tracks with a dark, yet poppy beat underneath smooth flows and double-edged, boastful lyricism. Every member shines on this track and it truly becomes an entire vibe. By the end of the track, your finger will already be hovering over the repeat button. In HEAVEN BELONGS TO YOU the band takes a step back and let’s rising artist Slowthai take the stage. The UK artist raps about his mental health and relationship with religion over Romil and Jabari classic BH production.

ST. PERCY mixes the energy of the SATURATION series with the intensity of iridescence, with incredible flows and lyrical twists lying on a heavy 808 driven, bass-boosted beat, assorted in a way only BROCKHAMPTON could to bring the entire track to life.

Feeding off the energetic energy of the last two tracks, the song IF YOU PRAY RIGHT continues this streak for the next five minutes, with very religious driven lyrics from the boys, each member tackles their own thoughts on religion as a whole and how the concept has taken root in their lives. Apparently a Jehovah’s witness had even visited the band’s house one day during the production of the album, which maybe started or bolstered the influence of this track.

However, with the song DEARLY DEPARTED, the album’s themes come to a head. This is easily the most emotional and vulnerable song that BROCKHAMPTON has made. With heartfelt and introspective performances from Kevin Abstract, JOBA, Matt Champion, and Dom McLennon. Dom shines on this track especially, with his verse seemingly revealing the reason behind the title of the track. It is in reference to ex-member Ameer Vann, who’s situation is explained above. In a since deleted tweet, McLennon revealed that Vann had allegedly set up an ambush for Dom’s friend to be robbed. The frustration and anger of not only that but also the lies and pain he had caused his friends shines through clearly on this track. The title odes to the end of an era and a final farewell to Ameer as a friend, bandmate, and reason for the group’s suffering.

Still in the trenches of the prior track, the band gets hype still with I BEEN BORN AGAIN. The track a stripped of major production, adding only a smooth dark beat, some well-timed chants, and glitched adlibs in the background. Every vocalist of the band comes dead center on this track, showcasing their lyrical abilities and re-welcoming their audience to the world of BROCKHAMPTON, this being the first single they released off of GINGER. Topics of drug abuse and their newfound fame

GINGER is the title track of the album and brings vibes similar to SUGAR, with the boys diving back into the vulnerable and melancholic themes the previous track have brought forth. This track is dual sided, producing a homely feeling for the ones listening, whilst also being far away, as if our lover/friend/family member is wishing us good luck and letting us know that there is always a home, a family, a friendship, and a romance to come home to. Taking inspiration of Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx’s “She Got Her Own”, the band puts their own unique spin on it, making a summer track for the ages.

The song BIG BOY is another reminiscent track, looking back on where BROCKHAMPTON was, and the experiences they’ve undergone in order to become the artists they are now. The title of the track could also play on the stigma of masculinity in modern society, a topic the band has played around with on other tracks on the album, and other projects altogether. Growing up is a hard thing, but the group seems to have come out of the ashes, more mature and stronger than before, albeit a bit woeful.

By this point in the album, you can see a trend. The band has grown and healed wounds of past tribulations, yet learning from their mistakes and delving into that darkness. This is seen on LOVE ME FOR LIFE where themes of vampiric loneliness and coming from the “dirt” to the fame and fortune they have today.

The last track, VICTOR ROBERTS, features a completely new artist to the fold, by the same name. Subjects such as troubled family history, extreme drug obsession which leads to broken trust and betryal. Victor is one of Dom’s close friends and this is the first song he has ever recorded. VICTOR ROBERTS is easily the second heaviest on the album, and is swelled into an amazing finish by a mixture of Ryan Beatty’s and Bearface’s beautiful, anthemic chorus and bridge.

~~~~~

At the end of this review, I’ve come to see that GINGER seems to be a form of catharsis and it does its job well to close a chapter in the band’s lives that they will always have access to, but choose to move forward from. BROCKHAMPTON delivers on everything their fans and they themselves were waiting for.

Snoh Aalegra Takes Us Back In Time with "Ugh, Those Feelings Again."

Screen Shot 2019-08-20 at 2.48.38 PM.png

If you could put all the feelings, ambiance, and overall vibe of Snoh Aaegra’s sophomore album into one word it would have to be outstanding! By taking the best sounds of what makes R&B music a sensational genre, and packing it into a 14 song LP that is exactly 40 minutes. Snoh Aalegra ‘s “Ugh Those Feelings Again” has solidified its place as one of the best albums of 2019., and she continues the trend of releasing bodies of work that emphasize quality over quantity

For those who are not to fambiliar with Snoh Aalegara and her body of work her big sky rocket came in 2017 with the release of Drake’s newest album ”More Life”. Sampled on Do Not Disturb her vocals over the beat produced by Boi-1da and she caught her biggest break. But she was making music for years before that and she has had some heavy hitting album’s in her early career.

EA79Qn1VAAIrFPX.jpg

Sheri Nowrozi, better known by her stage name, Snoh Aalegra was born in September 13, 1987 to Swedish and Persian parents and spend the majority of her early childhood days in Enköping, Sweden. By the age of 13 she signed an artist development deal with Sony Music Sweden and during this time she would record and work with producers to help develop her sound and overall style. She later left Sony Music Sweden and began working with Universal Music Sweden and 2009 under the name of Sheri she began working on new music. Her first single “Hit and Run” was released February 2009 and peaked at number 12 on the Swedish Single Charts, and her next single "U Got Me Good" was released in December 2009, peaking at number 2. By January 1, 2010 she expanded on her artistry and formally released her debut album, “First Sign”, which was received positively by the masses.

Moving forward into 2014, Sheri formally changed her name and started going by the pseudonym Snoh Aalegra and began working with artists like Common who featured her on his tenth studio album “No Body’s Smiling”. She went on to capitalize off of her connections and released her debut EP There Will Be Sunshine though Epic Records. in 2016 she moved form Universal Music Sweden and signed a new deal with No I.D’s record label ARTium Recordings and released Don’t Explain which featured production from James Fauntleroy, No I.D., Boi-1da, Christian Rich and DJ Dahi. From then on everything is history and she has added a new body of work to her extensive discography with;” Ugh, Those Feelings Again”

From the opening track to the ending track ;”Ugh, Those Feelings Again” feels like one of the most personal albums she has put out. After a long hiatus and staying very quiet Snoh Aalegra popped back up again and released the first single “I Want You Around” on February 18, 2019 following it up stunning visuals video featuring which features Asap12vy. She then followed up with three more singles; You, Find Someone Like You, Situationship.

The 14 track which featured production from No ID , Rob Holiday, Steve Wyremen from the Cocaine 80’s and more is divided into two parts a Side A and Side B. Side A being the “happy” side, and compared Side B to her previous effort FEELS, which summed up her emotional state and past relationships. This split is very evident in not only the production on both sides but the lyrics. Take for example ”I Want You Around” which is the second track on Side A. The sound of the song is happy, With the production featuring melodic happier sounding chords, which falls in line with the lyrics.

We can get away
Palm trees, beach views
Ordinary day
All I wanna hear is Innervisions on replay
And sit right next to you, you
I try not to show how I feel about you
Thinkin' we should wait, but we don't really want to
I just wanna get away
And sit right next to you, you

Overall this song is one of happiness with a current lover, this song signifies all the happy parts of being in love with a person that truly compliments you. Now ”You” from Side B is the complete opposite, the song definitely is sadder sounding song and the lyrics fall in line

I wish I thought before I-I spoke, yeah, yeah
Made up my mind before I talk
Everybody close to me
Think you are no good to me
They don't believe us
'Cause they had to see me
See me that way
But I only see us
Oh yeah
Yeah, I only see

This song is longing and the sadness that surrounds and individual after losing someone who meant so much to them. And this is what truly makes the album stand out because each song gives you this type of feeling. Both sides have some heavy hitters including Whoa, Find Someone Like You (which is very similar to TLC Waterfalls as far as the sound), and Love Like That. From Side B the most stand out tracks have to Be Careful (Which serves as the opening track to side B), Nothing To Me, I Didn’t Mean to Fall In Love, and Peace.

The solid production effort along with the deep and sincere vocals from Aalegra allows for the album to have unique place within industry right now as far as new R&B releases sound. On Snoh Aalegra’s new album similar to her previous work there is more of an emphasis of natural sounds and lighter sounding instruments with very simple drums patterns. Quality over quantity seems to be the main of focus of this album like her previous work. And this isn’t a bad thing because, like her previous work she has found a blue print that works for her and with the release of her album she continues to improve on it. Overall Snoh Aalegra’s new album is one of the best albums that artists have graced us with in 2019. By focusing on a sound that will help her stand out, cultivating a body of music that emphasizes quality, and featuring production that truly compliments her style Snoh Aalegra continues to grow her name as an artist.

Snoh Aalegra “Ugh, Those Feelings Again”- 10/10
