Artists
070 Shake
Ranging from fraught to vicious, the voice of rapper and singer 070 Shake is among the most unique in contemporary rap. Born Danielle Balbuena in New Jersey, she came up as part of the 070 crew, breaking through in 2016 as a teenager with "Trust Nobody," which was originally released during the year's first quarter. The cold-blooded track was picked up by Kanye West's Def Jam-supported Getting Out Our Dreams label, which re-released it in late September as Shake was about to begin an extensive October-November trek across the U.S. as the opening act for the 1975. A Lil Yachty collaboration titled "Rewind" was issued during that stretch.
Just after the tour's completion, Def Jam released the various-artists Direct Deposit, Vol. 1 compilation and featured "Trust Nobody" as the finale. Shortly thereafter, Shake and her 070 associates -- including Ralphy RiverTreee Safari, and Phi -- independently released a compilation of their own, The 070 Project: Chapter One. Another independent Shake single, "Stranger," followed in April 2017.

In 2018, she headed out on her own with the Glitter EP, which featured "I Laugh When I'm with Friends But Sad When I'm Alone" and "Somebody Like Me" with clique-mate Phi. Her mainstream breakthrough arrived months later via key inclusions on "Santeria" from Pusha T's Daytona, as well as "Ghost Town" and "Violent Crimes" from Kanye West's Ye. The following year saw the release of the singles "Nice to Have" and "Morrow," both of which ended up on her 2020 debut album,
Johan Lenox
Johan Lenox approaches pop music with the curiosity and perspective of a true outsider.Trained in classical music through his teens and intohis twenties, he makes music on an epicscale with instruments that are centuries old; he writes orchestral arrangements and thenmanipulates those sounds digitally to create something uncanny that’s undeniably pop. Hisdebut albumWDYWTBWYGUis animated by skeptical nostalgiafor growing up in someun-idyllic suburb, while simultaneously staring down an uncertain future. It’s a fully realizedannouncement of a new talent, an artist who isn’t reaching for pop-punk or some other bygonesound to articulate generational angst but blazing a different path altogether. His songs arestately and hyper contemporary, as likely to deploy sweeping woodwinds and the BrooklynYouth Chorus as they are trap drum programming.“WhatI admire about pop music is that youcan’t fake it,” Lenox says. “Millions of people have to like the song as a song for it to be a hit.”Lenox isn’t faking a thing.
