It seemed like Doja Cat had everything going for her. The R&B artist became a national sensation within the span of hours. However, after some homophobic tweets surfaced from 2015 your girl tries to defend herself with more homophobic language. Sigh.....this is not surprising however, as homophobia and hip-hop go together like America and Apple Pie. Plus new music from Pink Siifu, Nothing, and Kadhja Bonet.

With Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You debuting and Chance’s purchase of Chicagoist we wonder...are artists simply exploring their creative outlets, or are they forced to pursue careers outside of music? Also, as Chance is someone who once got MTV to pull down a bad concert review (like a punk), is he the right person to step into journalism? Also, new music from The Internet, Lotic, and Buddy.
