Main Body of Review (2:28).
You may be thinking, why am I, an esteemed member of the rap journalism industrial complex… reviewing the music of an artist historically known as an R&B artist in SZA?
You may want me to just shut up and dribble, and only cover what you consider rap enough… but I will not comply. Discussing SZA’s new album SOS is my god given right protected by the Constitution!
I felt inspired to discuss this record because, for one it’s really good. And this album features many straight up rap or rap crossover moments, so I thought it was appropriate to cover on a rap podcast.
But most importantly, this album hit me at a very pivotal time in December of last year when I needed it most, where I was fragile, spiraling, and deeply ashamed.
Yet SOS managed to give me a bit of juice, providing me with sweet sounds and honest perspective related to emotions I directly was processing at the time, genuinely keeping me afloat throughout a rough time.
It’s funny how all that self-love and acceptance talk starts to actually resonate… when you stop loving yourself, and can’t accept mistakes you’ve made in the past.
If you're intrigued to know why SZA’s SOS left such a mark on me, listen on...
