Hey, how are yall doing? Yesterday, I was up trying to get some things done and came across an email with Cardi B’s NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert clip. Cardi B is probably one of the best female rappers of our time. She just has that it factor amplified by beautiful acoustic sounds and background singers, the video made my night. On top of that, they are fundraising as NPR is a non-profit that offers these concerts, podcasts, radio shows and more for free to listeners. Music, entertainment and creative industries can lose steam being owned by big-box companies. Selling vs. innovation. Cardi B’s clip has raised over $236K. Donate today.
