North Carolina-rapparen Rapsody är aktuell med nya albumet “EVE” på sensommaren. Skivans titel är en hyllning till svarta kvinnor och i en intervju med Essence förklarade hon bakgrunden:

“It’s my ode to the women in my life who have made me who I am, but at the same time I realize it’s bigger than me. It’s more about the village of Black women. I feel like we all have similar experiences and similar stories and very similar inspirations. My last album, that was for me. That was all personal things that, you know, you can listen to and maybe you can relate, but a lot of it was for me.”

“With this one, I wanted to talk about how important it is to have representation, to have women — Black women — you can look to in your life, whether it’s your mother or your sister, or you turn on the TV and you look at The Cosby Show’s Phylicia Rashad or Cicely Tyson, and now Issa Rae or Yara Shahidi.”

Nu släpps singeln “IBTIHAJ” med D’Angelo & GZA, producerad av 9th Wonder.
