I love how unapologetically real Cardi B is. She’s an artist that doesn’t care what you think of her and will continue doing what she does best which is create big hip-hop songs with a pop sensibility. ‘Press’ is the next continuation in her evolution and hears her cementing her throne at the top of…
SINGLE REVIEW: Herve Pagez feat. Diplo & Charli XCX – Spicy
I never thought the day would come where Diplo and Charli XCX would do a cover of a Spice Girls song, but I am so grateful it has.
