Larson: Which song would you want to see most? There are lots of songs on here that I really want to see drag queens perform. It’s ripe for becoming-like, this is going to be played everywhere at Pride this year. And I think this album falls in the latter category. In the ’70s, there were queer anthems that were specific queer anthems, and then there were queer anthems that became queer anthems because of the feeling that they conveyed. Meanwhile, the team also released individual videos for each member with extended verses, ensuring even more content to hold fans over for whatever comes next.Shepherd: Yeah. It took a while for the Avengers to come together now it looks like rap has a new superteam aiming at taking over, one verse at a time. The video sees the crew take over what looks like a bank lobby as DJ Kitty Cash spins from the concierge podium and the rappers do their thing in matching maintenance uniforms emblazoned with the LVRN logo. While the better-known members 6lack and Westside Boogie may be the big draws, the track highlights the newbies as well, including OMB Bloodbath, who kicks things off with a breathless verse, BRS Kash, who shows he’s more than the “Throat Baby” crooner, and NoonieVsEverybody, who should increase the team’s trap appeal. However, it looks like the rap unit is beginning to jell as well, as shown in the LVRN Cypher for Spotify’s RapCaviar.įor the first time, all of the group’s impressively gifted rappers come together on one track. That changed last December when the label released its first compilation, which was, incidentally, also a holiday album showcasing the singing talents of its R&B roster. Where lots of attention is (rightfully) lavished on Dreamville and TDE for their tight-knit groups, Love Renaissance has seemed like more of a loose collective under one banner until recently. Over the past couple of years, LVRN has flown a bit under the radar in terms of labels that also function as rap crews.
