On the project, she collabed with some of her favorite musicians such as Kathleen Hanna and Phil Cook, which Uproxx described as, …”remnants of southern rock, heavy acoustic strumming, lamb-bleat harmonies, hints of gospel, and spells of Biblical allusion, all waltzing together in country stillness.”
Lil Mosey @ The Novo [Tickets]
Up-and-coming rapper Lil Mosey secured a feature from Blocboy JB on his latest track “Yoppa” off his debut album Northbest, which made its way onto the Billboard 200 chart at No. 29. The Seattle native grew his fanbase at his local high school through social media and blew up off his bop “Pull Up.” The 17-year-old just kicked off his world tour presented by Lyrical Lemonade.
