Lizzo's is a smooth and powerful cadence unlike few others in hip-hop and is something reminiscent of lady greats past. We’ve said before that we think Lizzo is on a quick come-up, and her new video for “Paris” gives nothing to the contrary.

Few females in hip-hop ever really transcend stagnant inequality and do so with superior poise and assuredness. There’s of course Missy Elliot, Da Brat, Left Eye and Lil’ Kim (to name a few), but the reality is these artists make such an impact because of the infrequent occurrence lady dominators play in the game. F-that.

It’s a common theme Minneapolis, by way of Houston, based hip-hopper Lizzo tackles in her poignant delivery. Hers is a smooth and powerful cadence unlike few others in hip-hop and is something reminiscent of lady greats past. We’ve said before that we think Lizzo is on a quick come-up, and her new video for “Paris” gives nothing to the contrary.

Listen. Watch. Enjoy.
