I just stumbled across Kari Faux's Lost en Los Angeles lp on Spotify last night during a particularly fruitful rabbit holing session. It's compact, so I've been able to listen to it several times since then. She doesn't remind me of anyone, which is a rare goddamn thing in popular music. "Supplier" is my immediate favorite track, but the whole album is just win after win.

Julianne Escobedo Shepherd put up an interview with her last Thursday at The Muse (http://themuse.jezebel.com/a-chat-with-rapper-kari-faux-the-debut-of-her-excelle-1783999021), so I'm looking forward to reading that as well.

Here's "Supplier" ~

Ooh, I didn't realize there was a video for "This Right Here," the song whence the thread title comes...

Also, I've just been watching some of her 2014 stuff.

Now I think she's just the fucking BEST!

Good call. She also reminded me of Coco Solid, but that's a ref that almost no one would get.
