BANDCAMP TOP 100 ALBUMS OF THE YEAR - FLIGHT OF THE WIG

Veteran MC Psalm One’s FLIGHT OF THE WIG is a spiky rap album that sets sharp commentary on identity politics over sonorous, bass-centric beats. She connects club dancers to religious figures (“Twerking4Feminists”), deals with Trump-era tumult (“WWIV”), and navigates fleeting social media fame (“Ain’t 2 Famous”). There’s also a glorious evisceration of homophobes on “Nasty Jazz Hands,” which comes complete with a rallying cry that represents Psalm One’s 2019 manifesto: “I rap for women with new agendas/ Got rules to bend, friend, are you offended?”
