Cardi B: The Next Princess of Rap
Since the release of her highly successful single "Bodak Yellow" in 2017, which topped the Billboard Hot 100, Cardi B has been on the radars of not only hip hop/rap audiences, but mainstream pop as well. She was known primarily for starring in the VH1 series Love & Hip Hop: New York. However, her personality and witty sense of humor made her stick out from the rest of her cast, making her thus far the most notable cast member to have come out of the music driven reality show. When many heard her first single, it was the first time since Nicki Minaj that we have seen a female rapper with such charisma and edge to backup the gritty production behind hard-hitting lyrics. Unlike Iggy Azalea, who came after Minaj in the hip hop game, Cardi B brings authenticity and originality that is completely different than Azalea. For the most part, Azalea appealed to a primarily white and pop audience, while Cardi B connects to a more broader crowd that consist of Blacks and Latinos, who are urban consumers of music. Although Cardi B receives praise from minority listeners, she also gets recognition from mainstream media. Being raised in the Bronx, she comes across as relatable and humbled when talking about her past as a stripper and how she had to struggle to get to where she is now, which is a major force in the music industry.

Neil Young and The Kawartha Lakes
Neil Young, one of Canada’s most treasured musicians, has also been a great rebel of his time. His unconventionality and musical mastery is undeniable. He has certainly made his mark, and is widely revered among musicians for his rustic authenticity and use of his platform for activism. His songs are beautifully poetic, and have resonance in every walk of life. Growing up in the cottage country of Eastern Ontario, it is evident that his songs have a special place in the hearts of rural Canadians. Songs like "Helpless" are directly inspired by his upbringing in Omemee, Ontario along Pigeon River in the Kawartha Lakes region. This is all before he moved to Los Angeles and formed Buffalo Springfield in 1966 and embarked on a lifelong career. There is a culture in the Kawartha Lakes all in its own, one that Neil Young encompasses in his being and one that he is self-aware of. Despite Young having moved away from the region for most of his life, the social culture in the area has a lasting impact, hence his return to his hometown for the TV concert special he did in December 2017. He performed an intimate concert at Coronation Hall in Omemee, in which one could only attend if they were invited. The love and support he was shown in the town is indicative of not only the kind of person he is, but the kind of place Omemee is.

The Creation of Sia
Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, or more commonly just referred to as Sia, is most famous for her over-the-top exuberant artistic music videos, her emotional yet powerful fast paced ballads, and of course the brand name white and black wig. Her most common radio hits are “Chandelier,” “Cheap Thrills,” and the classic millennial soundtrack, accompanied by David Guetta, “Titanium.” However, Sia didn’t reach this high level of fame, prosperity, and brand level association overnight. Each of Sia’s songs tells a story, and to better understand the deeper meaning of those songs, it is crucial to examine where it all started from.
