One of the most exciting stories in hip-hop right now is all about the women who are rising to the top of the genres ranks. Leading the pack is Megan Thee Stallion, a Houston rapper whos become a phenomenon in short order thanks to not only her killer, hard-hitting songs see Big Ole Freak and the rest of her breakthrough mixtape,Tina Snow but also her similarly confident, give-no-fucks social media presence.
Since signing to 300 Entertainment, the label that brought us Migos and Young Thug, Megan has been working on a new studio album, Fever. She gave us a taste of how its coming along this week with Sex Talk, a seductive late-night banger thats propelled by a bass-blowing, body-shaking bass. The song isnt exactly innovative: Its a classic raunchy hotline rap where she details her explicit fantasies. The real joy is in Megan Thee Stallions flow, which is as sticky and shiny as lip gloss, leaving a mark on everything it touches. She makes it clear that what she wants isnt up for discussion and when shes the one telling you, how can you not listen?
