As many male rappers seem to become more depressed or vindictive in
their lyrics, the women of rap appear to be having all the fun. One
show that captures this moment is Rap Sh!t on Max. Brittany sits
down with the showrunner and writer, Syreeta Singleton. They
discuss the complexities of navigating the rap game as a Black
woman, the new social media landscape, and how rap and Rap Sh!t
approach sexuality.

Then, a conversation with Andre 3000. After 17 years, the rapper,
producer, and instrumentalist is back with a new album, New Blue
Sun. Notably, this album has no rapping and focuses on the artists
passion for the flute. In honor of the occasion, host Brittany Luse
passes the mic to NPR colleague and host, Rodney Carmichael. In
this excerpt of their hour long interview, Rodney and Andre retrace
the artist's journey from rapper to flautist, the beauty of aging,
and why there should be more celebration in death.
