SIX PACK OF RAP

It's been a minute since we've covered music but here are six women in hip-hop that we jammed out to while listening to Amazon Music Unlimited last night.

Uzi Sewzii

Uzi Sewzii is an awesome MC. She's got youthful energy, that's a bit bubbly as well as gangsta. She can be sexual, tough, sassy, caring, a visionary, vulnerable and guarded all in the same project. Our favorite song by her is "Mirror, Mirror."

"Hot shit I'm on fire, I'm piping. I don't know why these bitches be lying. Overbooked while I'm not even trying ..." Uzi Sewzii raps in the song that rocks with an energetic guitar sample.

"I met a girl named Sewzii, she came through with my bitch. Heard she wet like a jacuzzi but that girl won't let me hit," Uzi Sewzii continues in the song that's as aggressive as it is fun.

Her album "I Am Uzi Sewzii" even has an uplifting song called "You Did Dat." It's got a nice groove and while it is a positive song, it feels natural and doesn't feel like an obligation. It's in the spirit of 2Pac's "Keep Your Head Up."

"Just paid them bills on time, yeah you did dat. Them long nights you had to grind, yeah you did dat. You still forgave him when he lied, yeah you did dat. And held yourself when you cried, yeah you did dat," serves as the chorus for the inspiring record.

Boi Toy

On her latest single "Cruise Control" Boi Toy starts with "Yeah started from the bottom but lil' bitch I bounced back." While her raps are flashy and fly, Boi Toy to her core is a gritty survivor in hip-hop.

A career in entertainment that is approaching 20 years, this woman has done so much and is looking to do more. Along with rapping, she's acted, modeled, hosted shows, became a mom and wife. Yep she's a wife and her husband, Young Shon rhymes too. The duo has done multiple projects together including "His & Hers" and "Up the Ep."

"Cruise Control" is a cool mid-tempo classic with a groove that may take one back to Blackstreet's massive 1990s hit "No Diggity" with a pinch of Method Man's "Bring the Pain." Boi Toy has been in the game for a while but her spirit is as fresh as ever.

Crystal the Doll

"Y'all know what time it is. CTD in this bitch, y'all thought I was done huh," Crystal the Doll asks at the start of her newest release, "Juicy."

It's been a couple of years or so since her single "Bedroom," which was a great record that gave the listener a detailed and pleasing experience of how a night of pleasure with the thick model from Detroit can occur. Along with appealing to our fantasies, "Bedroom" had a groove that was easy to move your head to while you may be driving, studying, cooking or whatever you do while listening to your Amazon Music Unlimited playlist.

If you thought Crystal was a hit it and quit it kind of girl, you were wrong because she sexes us up again with the song, "Juicy." She reminds us on the hook, "All ni**as thirsty and this pussy juicy. Juicy, fresh, slippery, wet. I put it to the test, he tell me it's the best."

As Cardi B and Megan thee Stallion are riding the "WAP" wave, many may think that Crystal the Doll's timing is solid with this release. That may be true, but the song has its own identity and personality that is consistent with the previously mentioned "Bedroom" which lets you know that "Juicy" is very authentic.

J.O

J.O has some Ol' Dirty Bastard tendencies in her records. She will yell out of no where. She will sing out of no where. She seems to have very little filter. Most importantly, she has no mother to her style.

Okay, if you're young, you may not get that last sentence but the late Ol' Dirty Bastard's name was made simply because he was said to have no father to his style. She raps about the usual things that most others do, the streets, sex, violence, drama, overcoming the struggle, but her hyper, rambling whirls through songs like the Tasmanian Devil.

"1 Verse, 2 Hooks," is her newest effort. It is a quick six-selection extended play that gives listeners an true sample of the J.O experience. The word is that she is about to drop another project within the next month. She is also opening for Boosie at select dates.

Hollywood Brittany

We told you all about Hollywood Brittany last year. Her track "Juice Gang" was a true banger. There is no way you can listen to that with the volume low. For whatever reason that full song isn't on Amazon Music Unlimited anymore but she's got three other offerings, "I'm All In," "Ice Cream" and They Hatin'" which can all be streamed.

On "I'm All In," Hollywood Brittany shakes some poor dude down as she raps, "I'm all in the stores, he's all in his feelings. He talkin' about love, I'm makin' him spend his. I'm all in his bag bitch ..." Can't be too mad at Brittany, as the fellas have been short changin' the ladies in rap songs for decades.

On the song "Ice Cream" with Dior Worthy, her appearance on the cover is pleasing enough. The freak-fest of a song that samples the work of the great Manny Fresh has a sound that encourages a lot of twerking and booty bouncing.

"I'm On My Way," is a bit more serious and aggressive as she raps her way towards her goals while forging through life's distractions and desires. Hollywood Brittany has a strong album in her somewhere, the question is when will she release it?

Yetundey

Before this week we hadn't heard of Yetundey. According to her Instagram, she is out of Berlin, Germany.

The dopest thing about her is that she is not formulaic at all. The first song we tried was "Welcome To The Jungle." It had a feel like Missy's "Work It," but it was off the wall in a good way. She raps like crazed woman who can't be contained.

The record is so artistic and has to be listened to more than once to be appreciated. She also flips languages in the song as well. After that we travelled to her album "See No Evil." The first two tracks, "YeYe From Africa" featuring Mana and "Terrorist" keep the wildness and unpredictability of "Welcome To The Jungle" alive.

Yetundey is not in anybody's typical hip-hop box. She has range and doesn't lock herself in the complaining about bitches and bragging about good pussy closet that is a very safe place for many rappers. It's dope to see a rapper from overseas not mimicking what they think sells in America. Hip-hop is meant to take risks and experiment and Yetundey is true to the artform's original mission.
