The beat is insane in the best way possible—many rappers wouldn’t be able to cut through a sample like this but $NOT does so with a minimum of fuss.

"Tearing Me Apart" and "Show Me Your Body" are standouts, with the kind of energy that would translate perfectly to a live show and memorable melodies and lyrics packed into concise run times. Whether it's a slower ballad or a more uptempo rock track, Ernest Rareberrg's gruff but malleable voice ties his music together, with a delivery that seems to nod to punk and new wave but lives in a world of its own. It's been over six months since Rareberrg has released new music, but a SoundCloud packed with gems should be enough to hold us over until new music is released this year.

In 2019 she released her debut album To Myself, to widespread critical acclaim. Centered on a recent breakup with a longtime partner, the record coalesces the frustration of loss with the indulgence of nostalgia—the kind of soul that leaves you full and still yearning, all at the same time. The album is an intensely beautiful work of art, but for the 25-year-old, it's just the beginning.

A dexterous and rich document of self-reflection set to warm beats, Let the Sun Talk is a special rap album with endless replay value. It arrived in the wake of a medical crisis that crashed MAVI’s body, leaving him weak and in the hospital—the long-delayed side effect of an appendectomy performed when he was a child. “It was a big battery in my back, being fucked up and how bad it felt to not be able to do shit,” MAVI told us in December (read the full interview [here](~/AAJOsQA~/RgRgSN8AP0UCMTFE-2h0dHBzOi8vYXBwLmhpdmUuY28vZW1haWwvZWx0Lz9oX3NpZD1jOWQ3YTAyYjlkLTVhOGY4NGZkZmJkOTliNzA2NDlkMDExNyZoYXNoPTFmYjliY2ZjMWI0NWI0YSZuZXh0PWh0dHBzJTNBLy93d3cuY29tcGxleC5jb20vcGlnZW9ucy1hbmQtcGxhbmVzLzIwMTkvMTIvbWF2aS1pbnRlcnZpZXctcmFwcGVyJTNGdXRtX3NvdXJjZSUzRGhpdmUlMjZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtJTNEZW1haWwlMjZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ24lM0RoaXZlX2VtYWlsX2lkXzQ5NzEzVwNzcGNCCgAhAFpmXvGiIrRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~)).
