The 24-year-old rapper/stripper/viral sensation Brooke Candy is definitely one to look out for. In a genre that is dominated by defiantly straight males and misogyny, Candy’s renegade white-girl-as-Lil’ Kim aesthetic and defiantly out lesbian feminist persona is not to be missed. This EP features new single “Opulence,” a ’90s/2010s mash-up hip-pop ode to this “grown queen doing grown things.” RCA (rca.com). —Tori Laxalt
