What's wrong with everyone? I'm Alicia and I'm about to check out some new

and see which artist gets my endorsement. When I was just starting out and I was a new artist, I remember having to show people who I was and that I wasn't going to walk away from that girl, that that was who I was. That's what I like. I like it when I see a certain individuality or personality and I can automatically say, "Man, that person is after his own thing." Know? Then it's fire. There are many wonderful things happening. Okay, so the juice box is everything.

He has a great voice. To me she has a New York vibe. Juice box, North Face, not-too-tight jeans, something youthful or feminine, my vibe. You thought she was going to rhyme, but then she started singing. She has attitude, but she is cute. I really like her. Even if it's a soft melody, you can tell when someone can sing, and so I can hear that she has a voice too, so I loved her. I love the simplicity. I like the feeling of whatever, I woke up like this, this is my vibe, you know? No one really wants to see anyone try too hard, I don't think.

That was a while ago. So it's good. I like it a lot. This person pays attention to many details. This is crazy. Did you get the egg with the face and then the face became the egg? The level of detail is crazy. He definitely created this video. Yeah, I heard this on TikTok but I never heard the whole song, I just heard the whistle. TikTok is fast, so you literally only have time to listen to the… And that's it. Something to do with a whistle in a song always works. Mark my words, any song that has a whistle works.

You can tell she has a crazy personality. She feels like she makes people laugh all day. Mmm, I like this. You feel what he feels, what he is singing. He's feeling and he just said... I felt like he wants us to be in his world, he wants to take us to a place that's familiar to him and he feels like wherever he filmed, it's a place that means something to him. That's how he feels. The melodies are of fire. It seemed as if he had been influenced by the church. You know, for me, growing up in Harlem, growing up in Hell's Kitchen, it was always this mix of tough and soulful.

The toughness that came from the hip-hop he loved also had that soulful feel to it. Similar to how I feel about what Rod is experiencing, it's difficult but it also feels very moving, it feels like something that gets inside you that you can feel. He feels like he's talking about his experience and that shock is there and it feels like he really... He says what he says. I love someone who means what he says. For me, that's the best thing about

. Well. Skull on the go. Scarves on. Chains outside. Sweatshirts. The atmosphere is also great, because it is difficult, but she is happy with it.

I think what caught my attention right away were all the cars. I love seeing women in cars because that's something that drives me crazy. I wonder, why does it only have to be the new car guys? That bothers me a little, which is why I loved her in the flashbacks. You can tell they are fire. The flow is cool. She has a rhyming style again, fluid but with a sweet voice. Her energy is brilliant. Like we're definitely leaving behind these old standards of what a woman is supposed to look like. We see ourselves in all types, we have all types of style.

You can see that she likes sweatshirts, baggy jeans, and skulls. And then her friends have scarves. All different styles, they're just all different styles. I love seeing different styles of people together, you know? Hmm, Sonic is sick. Rae could take advantage of this too. I mean, this is exactly... Ghost could be in this too. Oh, and then the colors went crazy! Sick images. I see Hype did this. He almost mixes the concept with CGI, and real life in black and white, and then your favorite video, where the girls have to be in panties and shit, all that.

But you have it all! Buffalo produces a product, it's crazy. You don't expect it, but there are enough people coming from Buffalo. It's a super throwback to the '90s, for sure, and I agree. It's going to go around and around and around forever and ever. Because like I said, great things are eternal. First of all, she is beautiful. Second, she's on a beach with a microphone, a folding table, and her laptop that she just finished making this beat on. I love that it's very imperfect. I think that's a really beautiful thing. The headphone cables are super tangled and not perfectly placed on the device.

By the way, she is singing with a super expensive microphone. So she's no slouch with sound. I love her just sitting on the beach like that. So good. I think we finally got to a place where we think about this, we actually think about what it means to care about yourself. What does it mean to take time for yourself and not feel guilty about it and not feel like you're not supposed to? So I love that. And for that to be something that people can sing and listen to, it's important. I loved seeing these. I loved the diversity of the art, all the different styles, all the different energies.

Mistress Lou, what I received from her is like joy. I was really excited to hear her sing. LoveLeo definitely, super hysterical, made me feel like she already wanted to laugh. In fact, I already wanted to meet him. She seems like the most amazing person to hang out with. Rod Wave, I really like him a lot. Again, a touching style, similar to real life. It's about what's really happening around you. Kaash Paige was also fire. She painted a world for you in Texas. Like you could feel the energy from her. It was fresh. It was difficult. Griselda is ridiculous.

The video is outrageous. Savannah Cristina, I love the tranquility. I love simplicity and I think she is daring. I like it. So I guess whichever artist gets my endorsement today, because that's how I feel right now, I'll go with Rod Wave. He is fire. I loved the real-life energy I got from him. I am interested in studying even more of his lyrics. I'm interested in knowing more about his history. I felt good. But that was really difficult. That was really difficult. For me, I think what caught my attention is just the individuality. It feels like each person really occupies their own lane, and you can feel, felt, like a part of them in each of these images.

Can I get a second place? Alright, so my second runner-up would be Ama Lou. Alright? Rod Wave gets my co-sign today, but I guess they both get it. Rod Wave and Ama Lou get my co-sign.
