Ehhthang Ehhthang

The Memphis choir girl turned husky-voiced rap phenom broke through with the best rap song of 2022, the rowdy breakup banger “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)”. On her official debut mixtape, <i>Ehhthang Ehhthang</i>, Glo makes it clear that she’s yet to take her foot off the gas in the two years since. Lead single “Yeah Glo!” is a worthy follow-up, with a slick sample of a crunk classic (Dabanggaz314’s “Run Up Get Dun Up”) and a litany of quotable flexes and threats (“Slappin’ rap bitches and making bail, ho!”). Nor has the success changed her rough-and-ready style: On “No Bih”, she assures you that being Grammy-nominated and throwing hands are <i>not</i> mutually exclusive. Still, she’s a girl’s girl at heart, tapping in with Megan Thee Stallion on “Wanna Be” and, on “Aite”, dreaming of a utopia where rap’s bad bitches squash their beefs, “’cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some fucking records.”
