Criminally Underrated: My Case for Giving Ab Liva His Flowers by NWO Sparrow
When I talk about rappers who never quite get the spotlight they deserve, Ab Liva is one of the first names that comes to mind. The thing about hip hop is that it’s built on moments. One feature, one verse, one hook can change everything for an artist. For me, my first Ab Liva moment was back in 2014 on Pusha T’s solo album “My Name Is My Name.” The record “Suicide” had already hooked me with its dark, cold Pharell production and Pusha’s trademark precision. But when Ab Liva stepped in on his verse, it was like the temperature in the room dropped a few more degrees. His voice had this calm menace, a control that made you rewind his part just to catch the little details in the way he put words together. I remember thinking, “This guy just walked on the track like he owned it.” Even with Pusha T holding his own, Ab Liva’s verse felt like the one that stuck to your ribs after the song ended.

Dancing Through Hard Times: The Rise of the Recession pop
The first time I heard the term “recession pop,” I thought it was a joke. After all, what could possibly be so joyful about a struggling economy, skyrocketing rents, and high grocery bills that you’d consider taking a part-time job as a cucumber farmer? But then I pressed play on the playlist by that name, and it clicked: Recession pop isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about living to a beat you can dance to. The trend is as ironic as it is contagious. Just as previous generations found solace in the uncertainty of the Great Depression or the disco of the ’70s, Gen Z and millennials are finding their own soundtrack to economic angst. Today’s “recession pop” marries shiny synths and catchy choruses that acknowledge the struggle. Think of it as dancing in the rain, except the rain is a combination of student debt, job instability, and egg prices. Why now? Cultural trends often blossom through the cracks of adversity. During the recession of the late 2000s, artists like Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, and Katy Perry gave us escapist anthems about love, partying, and self-expression. The music was over-the-top and unapologetically fun — a bright balloon in a gray sky. Now, in 2025, we’re seeing a resurgence of that energy, but with a twist. The music is still vibrant, but the lyrics often wink at reality: rent is due, jobs are unstable, but hey — there’s a dance floor somewhere, and the night is still young. Songs like “Payday Parade” (a fictional but understandable title) or “Champagne on Credit” capture this perfectly. They poke fun at financial stress while urging listeners to live in the moment. You can almost hear the message: We know things are hard, but you don’t have to sacrifice your happiness for the struggle.
