Two of hip-hop’s biggest female heavy hitters return with new music as Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat soundtrack the weekend with brand new singles. Plus, young music act Griff as a pleasant new music discovery.
This week’s hot find is English singer-songwriter Griff. Real name, Sarah Faith Griffiths, Griff is 22 years old and debuted in 2019. Her profile describes her as “5’3, plays piano and guitar, half-Jamaican, half-Chinese, grew up in a small town just outside London.”Two of hip-hop’s biggest female heavy hitters return with new music as Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat soundtrack the weekend with brand new singles.

Admittedly, I’m no big Nicki Minaj fan, and while I don’t mind hearing her songs, she’s more of this big rap act with a man-eater image than a musical force. Minaj’s rapping voice I’d know anywhere, but would not think that this was Minaj throughout. I’d have thought it was some featured dulcet-voiced hook singer singing the track’s main verses. Which goes to show how great musical acts of the day pass us by when we’re not paying attention.
But that’s just one side of it. Check out the music video for “Demons” where Doja plays a ceiling-crawling demon terrorizing a suburban mom and her kids out of their home. Uhm, question, is it wrong that we find Doja Cat as red-eyed, coal black, diamond-wearing, cat-demon hot? “Demons” is the third single off Doja Cat’s upcoming new album,"Scarlett.”
