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'm an introvert and I haven't been able to be alone stuck in the house with my family. I love them, but there is no "me time" right now... it's feels like Im "always on" bcuz everybody is around. I miss the kids being at school and husband at work. I even appreciate the alone time I had during my work commute now... I totally understand. But we're well and safe so I don't complain. A ride to the grocery is now an experience for me lol 😅
