How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
I’ve been playing this album when I’m taking a shower, when I get dressed, when I’m driving, when I’m cleaning, when I’m 😗💨...this album is very honest and reliable for my thoughts.

BHM x TDC is how it should be done... to showcase Black artist that may not be as well known as others is how you uplift the Black community. Salute to you TDC...and Thank you!
Some of the most soulful folks I’ve ever known have been from the Midwest. Shoutout to my region! Much love and success. The best birthday gift I ever got what hearing this.
Perfection! Such excellence and beauty and downright coolness! What a great performance. It's only been up a few days and I've already watched it 3 times.
Saw her perform in Brooklyn a while back but it was hard to find her on social. So glad she got a tiny desk and to find her! this was dope!!! My boy Keenyn did his thing on woodwinds and the entire band killed!! So amazing to see her progression. Super proud!
