The creator of the “Water” challenge has an enchanting rhythm and a face card that doesn’t decline. We were excited for her to team up with Summer Walker for one of the Girls Mixes of Walker’s “Girls Need Love,” and she did what needed to be done. We can’t wait to see what the South African singer does next.

We first fell for Baby Tate when she reminded us why it never pays to be a Barbara The Builder. Then she taught her the importance of saying our Bad B*tch affirmations, and we were completely hooked! An energetic rapper who is serious about the craft of performing and helps us manifest? *sprinkle, sprinkle*
3. Maiya The Don

The “Telfy” rapper is always in her bag. Her music is perfect for the commutes we’ve gone back to since our bosses started tripping.

She hops from calling out “Dusties” to becoming a certified lover girl with the quickness.

We dubbed Coco Jones the new It Girl in 2022, and we are still standing ten toes down on that declaration. Her acceptance speech for Best New Artist at the BET Awards made us love her even more. While others might have complained about the industry sleeping on them, Jones showed appreciation for finally making it to the top of her decade-long climb through the entertainment industry. The grace? The vocals? We can’t even!
8. Mariah the Scientist

“Stone Cold” stays at the top of our cuffing season for good reason, but something is refreshing about her as well. In a world where everyone feels like they shouldn’t have to clear things up, there’s something about Mariah’s openness we really like. She’s like our little sister, who has to move on her own time.
9. Aliyah Interludes
Everybody knows that Black girls invented the Y2K trends that are making the rounds on the clock app right now. Aliyah’s Interlude has reclaimed the aesthetic in a major way. From her Starry style ear muffs to her blinged-out hip-hugging belts, we can’t get enough of the actual it girl behind the song that’s taking over our for you page. We want more from her, and her should bags right away.
10. Lady London

With bars and beauty for days, Lady London has her sights on taking over the rap game. “I want you to listen to my music and leave more confident than you came in,” she said in an interview with Essence’s Girls United. During a time when sex-laced music is ever popular, Lady London says you can be both sexual and intellectual. “You can be somebody who’s expressive of your sexuality. At the same time, you can be somebody who’s expressive of your intellectual capabilities, and I like to stand in that middle ground as much as I can.”
