| 1. FANS ARE STIRRING with excitement as RAP SH!T, Issa Rae’s television series on Max, gears up to return for its second season. On Nov. 9, viewers will continue to follow the fictional lives and musical journeys of Shawna Clark and Mia Knight . The show, based in Miami, is loosely inspired by the come-up story of South Florida’s very own hot group City Girls, who just dropped their latest project, RAW, in October and serve as co-executive producers for the series. As with Rae’s previous hit show Insecure, the use of music on the series has always been excellent, and RAP SH!T’s soundtrack RAP SH!T: The Mixtape is as fire as you’d expect |
| 2. The 19-track mixtape has a diverse lineup of established rap favorites, such as Kaliii and Sexyy Red, as well as upcoming acts, like Cleotrapa and NCognita, who have been popping up from their home cities’ underground scenes. The opening track, “On Site,” features Memphis duo Slimeroni and Aleza, known for their unique style and charisma. For the past few years, the two have been putting in work and embodying their hometown’s Grind City ethic. Scroll through YouTube and you can see them featured prominently as part of a quintet of local rappers that includes K Carbon, Gloss Up, and recent breakout star GloRilla. The beginning of “On Site” takes you by surprise with a theatrical trolling opening line “If I see that bitch, Imma slap that bitch,” which leads into a melodic bop that’ll put a bounce in your legs and get your fingers pointing in the air |
