Popping culture: Njena Reddd Foxxx wants you to hold her purse

Njena Reddd Foxxx is not someone you want to cross.

The grand dame who delivered “What, bitch, you don’t like my shit?/What, bitch, you wanna fight me trick?/In the back of the classroom sittin’ talking shit/Better shut yo ass up before I reach you real quick” in Zebra Katz’s “Ima Read” is razor sharp in her rhymes, cutting up the competition before they even get a chance to respond. In “Silly Bitch,” Foxxx boasts about her brains and beauty, but it’s in “Hold My Purse” that she creates a sharp tune with smart lyrics. This record is made for drag queens who can dip and snap. Listen and be delivered.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
