Now she cross new genre borders, sharpness up her hypnotic wordplay and lats down plenty of playful melodies that all help make for one of her most personal albums to date. It is fun and intimate as it tackles veracious subjects from new romances to endless love with features from Chicago natives such as Saba and Peter CottonTale.

Review: Los Angeles by way of Milwaukee's DC Don's Funeral album was his third though it has never been available on vinyl, until now that is. The record features standout cuts like 'Hate Being Lonely,' as well as '12AM' and 'Hate The New You' all of which helped the album perform well and ultimate earn DC an inclusion in the 2023 XXL Freshman class. The 25 year old rapper DC is a vocalist with a great emotive range but also the power to and ability to switch up his rhyming so he always keeps you on your toes. Add in some percolating instrumentals and ethereal melodies and you have a fine album.
