Our recommendations for Day 2
Music critic Dan DeLuca tells you what artists you need to check out who isn’t named Lizzo.
Gucci Mane. On his 14th studio album Delusions of Grandeur, Atlanta trap rapper Gucci Mane reminds us he’s “Special” and an absolute natural at what he does. “I freestyle, don’t even write,” he raps on “Proud of You.” “Don’t even think no more.” Gucci has been productive since he got out of prison in 2016, making his argument that he just might be, according to Noisey, "the most influential rapper of the past decade.”
James Blake. English keyboard player and producer James Blake makes sense as one of the few non-hip-hop acts near the top of the mostly hip-hop bill because in many ways he is a hip-hop act. The dreamy textures of his songs blend seamlessly with trap music production, and he teams up with both Travis Scott and Rosalia on his ghostly new Assume Form.
Megan Thee Stallion. “Hot Girl Summer” is the meme and the hit with Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign that’s blowing this Houston rapper up big time. But she already demonstrated her hellacious talent earlier this year on her full-length mixtape debut, Fever. The Texas Southern University undergrad turned rap star rhymes along with fellow MIA act DaBaby, samples Billy Paul’s “Me and Mrs. Jones,” and boasts most convincingly on “Money Good.”
Tierra Whack. The rise of the Philly rapper continues as word of her idiosyncratic creativity and lively wit gets around. Last year, Whack released the 15-song, 15-minute Whack Worldand guested with Meek Mill at MIA. This year, she has been up for a video-of-the-year Grammy, released five new songs, and guested on The Lion King soundtrack at the behest of Beyoncé.
Charly Bliss. Made in America has long since given up booking big-name rock acts, partly, the argument goes, because few young rock bands are big enough to fit the bill. But is that really true? Wouldn’t Tame Impala, who sold out the Mann last week, have been perfect? In any case, if you want rock you must check out Charly Bliss, the terrific New Wavey four-piece Brooklyn band fronted by Eva Hendricks, who will be playing the Tidal stage.
