6 Unproblematic Artists You Need To Add To Your Playlist ASAP

Summer Walker Instagram

If you've been on social media recently, you'll know that that music industry is going through a state of turbulence. It feels like every week, there is some new scandal or a reason to cancel your favorite artists. I know I've gone through some disappointments from my faves these last few months.

But all hope is not lost, because I have a few artists who aren't making headlines and are quietly making bops for the masses.

Rico Nasty

Rico Nasty being the sugar trap queen that she is.

Rico Nasty is not new to the rap game. In fact, she is true to her craft and continues to perfect it as speak. A DMV rapper, her combination of trap and bubblegum music makes the perfect "sugar trap" bop. She graces every verse she throws down and her concerts will instantly make you want to start a mosh pit. Her vibe is unmatched and her quirkiness is unlike any other. Some of my favorite songs from her are "Trust Issues," "Key Lime OG," and "Guap (LaLaLa)."

PRETTYMUCH

Stylized as PRETTYMUCH, this boy band debuted in early 2017. It's comprised of five members: Brandon, Edwin, Austin, and Nick. They churn out beautiful pop melodies that have a slight twist of new school beats. Their diversity is what makes them something to watch for in 2019. Notable songs are "Teacher," "Open Arms," and their newly released single, "Jello."

Summer Walker

Summer Walker is what I consider to be THAT GIRL. She simply has the voice and the vibe to be a force to be reckoned with in R&B. She has a smooth melodic voice, but at the same time, her lyrics speak truth on what modern love and dating look like. My favorite songs are "BP," "Girls Need Love," and "Session 32."

Jon Bellion

I've tuned in to Jon Bellion for about three years now, and his penmanship and unique usage of beats make him someone I'm extremely proud to listen to. Though labeled as a pop artist, Bellion can fit all of your musical needs. He sings, he raps, and his beats are something of new age techno. His concerts are ethereal, and he is the purest human being out there. Some of my favorites by him are "Luxury," "Jim Morrison," and "JT," and off of his newly released album, "Glory Sound Prep," which I highly recommend.

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey being so gorgeous, beautiful, and mysterious at the same time

Lana has had a place in my heart for quite some time now, and she continues to amaze with her heavenly music. Get into her dreamy and soothing music for the trip of a lifetime. As the self-proclaimed gangsta Nancy Sinatra, we've decided to stan for life. Some of my favorite songs are "Mariners Apartment Complex," "Love," and "Shades of Cool."

Do yourself a favor and add him to your playlist right now. I'm telling you right from the jump, you will NOT be disappointed. You may have heard his hit debut single "Jennifer," which gives a 90's-esque vibe, and his voice is even more reminiscent of that era. When I first heard his voice, I was completely thrown off, but slowly came to fall in love with him and his craft. I constantly have him on heavy rotation, and frankly won't get tired of him no matter how annoyed my friends get in the car. My favorite songs include "Even If," "Ai Se Eu Te Pego (I Got You)," and "Dinero."

I hope this list gave you an insight of who to stan. And if you're still on the fence, just take a listen to one of their songs.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
