Her story as an artist is also incredibly compelling, as her integration into the scene began when she moved to New York from Cameroon at 14 years old.

Plus, when you do get out to a concert, you have to deal with large crowds, people talking during the performance, blocking your view by taking pictures and videos, and getting way too drunk while you're trying to enjoy the show.

Contrary to Oxnard, Ventura deviates from rap by focusing more on Paak’s relationship with funk and his painting of immaculate scenarios, but still features his bubbly persona and chill, dance–like beats.

Three years after releasing her previous album, A Seat at the Table, Solange came out with When I Get Home on March 1st. While A Seat at the Table acted as Solange’s explicit commentary on issues of race, gender, and existentialism, When I Get Home completely diverges from this concept in its abstractness and fluidity of sound; at times it appears to be more of an artistic statement than an album.
