![]() I believe he uses it as a way of pushing boundaries while doing something fresh and exciting, but he also isn’t the one to ignore others or place his ideas on a higher level than others. At the same time, though it seems like during these meetings, there is always one person who needs to be louder or more vocal in order to overshadow the rest of the group, and I think this is partially what the Chicago by way of North Carolina native is going for, but also partially incorrect as well. ![]() ![]() When I think of the term groupthink, I imagine a group of people sitting in an ideation session trying to come up with new, creative ideas. Other artists, though, have such unique names that there has to be a story or meaning behind them, and Groupthink is one of those people. Plenty of times, it seems like some people in this industry just slap a Lil or a similar prefix in front of a nickname or moniker that sounds cool to them, but they don’t actually put much thought into it past that. Dugg isn’t someone who surprises me because this duo has worked together in the past, but Veeze is still so underground and underappreciated, so I was most excited to see what he …Īn artist’s name is never something that should go overlooked. Somehow I was late to his Antt Beatz-produced song “U-Digg”, and while I can’t sit here and claim to tap in with every single release he puts out, I am a massive Detroit rap fan, so considering he recruited 42 Dugg and Veeze to join him, I was shocked that I didn’t know sooner. He just has this star power that translates into any song he jumps on turning to gold, both intangibly and physically. ![]() Well, although it’s hard to imagine that he is quite there yet because his career is still so young, one rapper who I think is well on his way to a legacy that won’t be forgotten about is Atlanta’s Lil Baby. Bonafide superstars are what I consider these people, and there aren’t too many more beyond the likes of Drake, Kanye, and Jay-Z. There are some emcees in the rap world that are simply certified hitmakers, and their levels of fame far exceed anything that I could even fathom in my own life. Obviously, I’m not famous, but NNAMDï talks about not wanting all the attention while still wanting the money and listens, and this is something that so many artists probably agree with, but they just don’t talk about it. After announcing a new album set to release on October 7th called Please Have a Seat and his signing to a label called Secretly Canadian, he surprised us with an insanely addicting new self-produced record called “I Don’t Wanna Be Famous”, and this is one that I can’t relate to, but I somehow understand at the same time in this strange way. Out of everyone here, though, NNAMDï is one of the most underrated, over-talented individuals I can think of, and while his cult following is always cheering him on, I love when he drops something new so I can join in on the fun and talk about something that is always going to be unique and unforgettable. I won’t keep beating the fact that Chicago has the most diverse, talented pool of musicians in the entire world because I know that’s a fact that I have typed time and time again, so you’ve probably clued into this fact by now.
