Alternatives to the Grammy Awards
My previous article was centered around how the Grammy Awards seem to show bias in choosing awards, as well as not recognizing Black artists for the work they put in. As a solution to this problem, some people call for the Grammys to be replaced by a new, fairer music award show. However, two existing award shows have the potential to become the next big thing.

Sematary’s Butcher House Album Review
"Death, madness, murder, mayhem, it's the real haunted mound in your town." Butcher House is the new mixtape by 22-year-old NorCal rapper Sematary.

NO THANK YOU Album Review
Following her critically acclaimed 2021 release, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, British rapper Simbiatu Ajikawo, better known as Little Simz, had mountainous expectations for her next release. With her latest album, NO THANK YOU, she has more than matched them.

Simz tackles a number of societal issues in an album that sees her expand on themes she’s introduced over the course of her growing discography.

While some of the sounds were explored in 2021’s “From Me to You,” the level of improvement on the songwriting front here is startling.
