Alpha is a space for redefining the meaning of a woman’s power. Power doesn’t have to be about fighting, standing up, or changing history. The power of these artists lies in their existence. From there flows truth, authenticity, vulnerability, nuanced representation. This week, Cardi B takes it “Outside”—a single from her highly anticipated sophomore album AM I THE DRAMA?—and ruthlessly drags those who have wronged her. “Low-down, dirty, good-for-nothing dogs, I’m convinced (Uh-huh)/Can’t wait to see your mama, tell her how she raised a bitch,” she spits. Enter Alpha now and add it to your library to keep in touch with the women making music on their terms, uplifting one another and challenging notions through the simple matter of being. Now, that’s real power.
