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.

Exposure to all genres and styles informs our most creative young artists. She has done her homework and is making the most of it. It’s going to be exciting seeing how she continues to develop and grow. Music is a communication art form, and she is communicating powerfully. I suspect (predict?) that every brutal, raw, and finely-nuanced texture, silence, harmony, rhythm, and timbre will ultimately occupy her palette.

Truly! I feel like with this style of music it's so easy to lose the engagement of an audience during a live show, but she really tells a story with her movement. It makes you want to keep tuning in. The dancing at the end of Home With You, as well as the first chorus of Cellophane were so incredibly engaging, entertaining, and just absolutely heartfelt.

“Home with You” gets me very emotional every time I hear it. The arrangement, lyrics, and her voice make her pain and longing palpable. This rendition is even more heart wrenching and beautiful to me. I found myself in tears by the end.

When she gripped the microphone during cellophane I literally had to stop and take a deep breath knowing what was to come

She means every word, especially in Cellophane. She has opened up her heart to us, she's letting us in, but she's also speaking directly to who this song is about. She is so powerful, because she's strong enough to be open and honest and vulnerable with the world, using music to accentuate her experience and augment it to one that we can all relate to. Maybe it's hitting me now because I finally feel like I've accessed my own unshakable sense of truth and take power from vulnerability, but FKA Twigs is the artist of our generation. Sending nothing but infinite love to you, Twigs

seeing such raw emotion come out during "Cellophane" felt like such an honor, made me want to cry, sing along with her, and hold her all at the same time. you can tell that song came out of such a real and painful experience, it hurts to see how it hurt her, but is inspiring to see how strong she is to overcome it still.

home with you was the PERFECT introduction to this woman's ethereal out of this world sound.

Amazing. Speaks volumes about the abject nature of humanity that this woman's art is not elevated above the garbage that corporations push on the consuming public.

Hope you can read this someday, Tahliah. The feeling you project is out of this world, it just makes me shiver. I also get overwhelmed, and it's for artists like you that I keep hanging on... You're a huge inspiration and I love you so much, please don't ever stop being true and making music

truly one of the greatest performers of the 21st century

This performance brings me to tears everytime.

Home With You is one of my all time favorite songs, and this arrangement?, come on, absolutely heavenly.

The high notes !! Omg shivers 🥰✨

I don’t care how many times I hear it. Home with you dismantles me like no other song can. I cry like it’s my first time hearing it every time. 😩

her power to sing AND write these songs is unbelievable, simply amazing. she delivers every time.

Dynamic transformation of her classical training to make a unique and simply ethereal sound. Purely her own. I appreciate her authenticity and loyalty to her own sound. Beautiful accompaniment from the violinist/bassist, cellist, and pianist.

so this is what heaven sounds like... wow. i'm transcending

Not many singer has the talent that she has. This is hands down the best tiny desk I've seen.

I simply did not realize the talent this woman had until this. Fabulous.

shout out to anyone in the world who watched this video without having a full scale emotional breakdown, i admire your strength
