Spillage Village: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@nprmusic]

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.

Great production, great lyrics, a wide vareity of sounds and emotions perfected and made by a cast of unbelievably talented artists. Spilligion has cemented itself as one of my faveourite albums, i strongly believe that it will continually and always hold a special place for me. BEAUTIFUL ALBUM. THANK YOU SPILLAGE VILLAGE.
