Rapsody The Idea of Beautiful Hoodie

Description

Rapsody dropped an album called The Idea of Beautiful — and she meant it as a manifesto.

Coming up under 9th Wonder in Jamla Records, Rapsody spent years grinding through mixtapes before dropping her debut studio album in 2012. The Idea of Beautiful landed with production from 9th, Khrysis, and Eric G, and features from Mac Miller, Raheem DeVaughn, and Nomsa Mazwai. It arrived when nobody was checking for a woman spitting boom-bap conscious rap from North Carolina. She made them check.

This is the album that put Rapsody on Kendrick’s radar — she guested on “Complexion (A Zulu Love)” from To Pimp a Butterfly three years later. The Idea of Beautiful is the receipts. The proof she was always this good. Long before the Grammy nominations. Long before Eve. Long before Please Don’t Cry. This.
