Show Notes

This week, we're hosting the world premiere of RXK Nephew's new song "Saoirse Ronan." RXK Nephew is a rapper based in Rochester, New York. He's been profiled in Rolling Stone and the Washington Post, and his song "American tterroristt" came in at #44 on Pitchfork's list of the best 100 songs of 2021. Pitchfork also published a list of the best 100 RXK Nephew songs of 2021; Neph was the only artist to get his own list. I asked him to watch Greta Gerwig's Little Women and report back in a song. Here it is. Not safe for work. Do not listen if you have kids around or if you are my dad.
