Megan the Stallion, currently completing her degree in health administration at Texas Southern University, is a Houston, Texas native. With sexy anthems like “Big Ole Freak” and critically acclaimed mixtapes like Fever, the rapper has established herself as one of the most exciting new artists in rap.
Chicago rapper Lil Durk brings pop touches to his raw lyrical style. He released a new mixtape, Love Songs 4 the Streets 2, in August 2019. The 16-song project featured guest spots from 21 Savage, Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill, and many others. Tink, also from Chicago, is most known for joining Jeremih on a dynamic track called “Don’t Tell Nobody” and “Breakin’ Me” released in January 2019.
