Have you heard the South African rapper Vson? His mixtape THE FINAL BOSS is worth a listen. He has a post-post-Carti flow that completely obliterates his lyrics and drugged-out, woozy beats.
Yeah I linked to him! Have no idea how I feel about it and have gone long enough with this opinion that I think it has settled on mild (derogatory), as is often the case with mildew rap (the stuff where you can smell the funk in the makeshift basement recording studio)
And I don't know if you've identified a gap in the market but someone a while back made a YT mashup of "Chapel Roan feat Zheani HWC" that sounds great.
I fell down a new V-pop rabbithole when this song turned up. V#, whichever voice that is, turned up on my 2024 best-of for their Cafe Vot collab with Larria. This song has a production credit for littletrashgod/Pilgrim Raid of Mona Evie (and producer of Vu Ha Anh's debut album), and the start here sounds very like Mona Evie's final single 'Justin Bieber'. This seems like the cool pop kids wanting to get more experimental, which is exactly what I like to hear. VCC Left Hand solo cut Nien Rang hits similar points, hyperpop with vaporwave(?)ish inputs like the monophonic synth and sped up pop song base.
"iSizwe" is one of the best songs I've heard this year!
Here's a link to my latest "Radio Not Radio" song: https://www.mixcloud.com/callinamagician/7132025-radio-not-radio/

It was in fact too early for the bagpipes. This local album has made my short AOTY list.

Emily C Browning album is great! Maybe the bagpipes are for the night time....
What the heck
What about "you're eating me out in the passenger seat, is it casual now?" re Chappell?
Not on the radio!
(whispers) also her worst song
