There seems to be so much buzz revolving around Mobile, AL artist, Bianca Clarke, it's hard to find someone who hasn't heard any of the rapper/singer's recent hits. Ever since she released her videos for "Neva Know" and "Queen," she has been in and out of studios and constantly on the road. With her recently revealing the upcoming release of her debut album, Holy Trinity, her fans are starting to becoming really anxious to hear the Queen's fresh songs. 

Never one to glorify the prison system, it is still admirable when those who are restricted from enjoying life like those who are free, recognizes you for your talent. This just happened to Bianca in a big way, when a handful of upbeat inmates, in an Alabama prison, shared a heartfelt video with her, expressing their love and admiration for her and her music. One even kept repeating the lyrics to her R&B single, "Tattoo" while another requested for her to put him in her next song.

This video shows just how much Bianca's success means to those from the state of Alabama and why she goes so hard on every song and during every performance. Watch the video below..


While you are at it, you need to check out her newly released song "I'm Wit It' below. The official video for it is set to drop any day now.

1. Moses Sumney


What can I say about the ever-emotive voice of Moses Sumney? With his voice, it is almost like creating a melody that is memorable and unforgettable. In his singles and concerts, you hear a Moses Sumney that creates fascinating and evolving beats by infinitely looping his voice with some delicately woven confessional lyrics. The LA-based songwriter is known to convey more intense feeling in a single track than most artists can manage in a full album. Consequently, for music lovers looking for some enchanting music to spice up this month, you will find his hit songs like “Everlasting sigh,” “Lamentations,” “lonely world” and “makes gospel glow” absolutely enchanting.

This rock trio based in LA is a brainchild of a couple of high schoolers from the west side, and their sound is nothing short of entertaining, to say the least. They have out of the box songs like “Grilled Cheese” which promises to electrify this month of May.

3. Alexandra Savior

This musical maestro is a force to reckon with. Her musical ingenuity is simply out of this world. For me, her music is simply enchanting and soothing. Her recently released album "Belladonna of Sadness" is a testament to the fact that she puts so much work into creating unforgettable music that her fans can relate to. Songs like "shades," "mirage," "risk," and much more promises to set May on fire for lovers of good music.

4. Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Her impact in the world of music cannot be overlooked. Though trained initially in classical piano and guitar, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has most of the time explored the endless possibilities afforded by synthesizers. This has helped her to create orchestral soundscapes for her self-released albums that require no visual to tell their story. Want a feel of music that's so captivating yet relieving? Then her songs like "Riparian," "when I try, I'm full," "rare things grow, " and a host of others promises to make May truly a memorable month for music lovers.

5. Oddisee

2016 was the only year since 2011 that did not see this DC-based rapper release an LP. Nevertheless, his trailblazing singles have continued to dominate the airwaves. For lovers of electrifying rap music and rich lyrical content, you wouldn’t go wrong this month by varying your playlist with some of Oddisee’s finest songs. New tracks like “like really” and “NNGE” would be a good place to start.
