Mulatto Performs ‘Youngest N Richest’ And More For A Regal Tiny Desk Concert
No desk needed for the Queen of da Souf. …
2020 XXL Freshman Mulatto adds another accomplishment to her growing list, delivering a regal performance for her first appearance on NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. Nixing the “desk” part, she employs both a violinist (Joy Black) and keyboardist (SK) and occupies a throne-like chair as she raps her way through “Youngest N Richest” and “Blame Me” while lounging around. She pops up for the closer, “He Say She Say,” leaving her crown on a side table so she can really get loose while SK embellishes the backing track.
Performing from home has allowed a greater variety of artists to appear on NPR Tiny Desk lately but it’s also something many fans with Mulatto would have adopted as personal policy as well. She recently came under scrutiny on social media for performing a raucous live show in a packed venue at the height of the increase in COVID-19 cases. Of course, her hometown of Atlanta is part of a state that has refused to shut down in response to the spread of the coronavirus, drawing similar scrutiny to 2 Chainz’s restaurant and other concerts held by DaBaby and more.
However, Mulatto herself continues to land prestigious placements, including on 2 Chainz’s new album on the single “Quarantine Thick” and on Kash Doll’s new song “Bad Azz” which debuted during the Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy Verzuz at Magic City in — where else? — Atlanta.

Toscode unveils soft melodies that speak the language of real love on “WHAT KIND OF LOVE”
Toscode’s latest release, “WHAT KIND OF LOVE” is a pure love song with a soft romantic vibe, driven by the desire for something real to last forever. The song has a soft musical note, with the violin warming the arrangement and cool shakers and percussion driving the rhythm. All of these together form an intimate foundation for a song of the heart.
The romantic message is most apparent in the lyrics, “there’s nothing I can’t do for you, I’m so into you.” The core message of the song is not complex but rather a devotion to love and the willingness to sacrifice everything for a special person. That straightforwardness gives the song an accessible emotional quality, particularly for those who have known the feeling of being deeply in love and wishing that connection would last.
“WHAT KIND OF LOVE” feels like a sincere love declaration, with the soft violin, percussion, and romantic lyrics blending smoothly. It’s a track from Toscode’s Untitled EP, a warm introduction to the project’s emotional side. The best thing about the song is its simplicity. It’s about love and commitment and the hope of finding something real enough to last. It’s sweet, loving, and centered on a feeling that many listeners can identify with.

Ninjahtiger brings survival instinct and savage rap energy with “Apex Predators”
“Apex Predators” is a hard-hitting hip-hop/gangster rap collab from Ninjahtiger & Jahlnt. Raw street lyricism, jungle imagery, and the instinct to survive power the track. The song’s confrontational tone is set from the very first bar of “From the wild you can’t domesticate”, linking its lyrical ideas to the image of unruled environments.
The track is about resilience, surviving the elements, and quieting the noise with fierce flows and sharp delivery. The record’s cinematic feel creates tension, a feeling of moving through a world that takes strength and resolve to get by. Thanks to the gangster rap foundation, the delivery is direct and uncompromising while the song has a strong thematic identity with its jungle and survival imagery.
“Apex Predators” works because it’s all about endurance and endurance. Jahlnt and Ninjaht come at the track aggressively, using the language of the wild to drive home ideas of refusal to be ruled and keeping on the move. The result is a high-energy rap release that feels built on tension, resilience, and raw expression. From the first bar, the collaboration has a strong personality, with its aggressive delivery, fierce flows, street lyricism, and cinematic atmosphere.
