Already having written and produced records for artists like Panic! At The Disco, Chloe X Halle and more, chillpill made an introduction of his own artist project (and the virtual being that is chillpill) with single “FUCK THE CLUB” feat. GOLDN, which also received a chillpill remix featuring PC pop artist Ravenna Golden. The story of chillpill the artist begins in an alternate 2-D cartooniverse. chillpill grew up feeling like he had no purpose and struggled to find his place, until he found music. “On the surface level, it’s a fun genre-blending idea, almost a tongue in cheek flip on pop culture. On a deeper level, it’s really a dark comedy and commentary on the state of the music industry” says chillpill on his inspiration behind the project.
Rico Nasty has been among the most prolific artists in recent memory, dubbed as the DMV’s own punk rock princess and having remained malleable—evolving from the pop-tinged Sugar Trap era to the more raucous, hard-hitting energy of her recently released debut album, Nightmare Vacation. The genre-defying album is a strong showcase of Rico’s out-of-this-world energy and rockstar delivery, highlighted by standout records such as “OHFR?,” “Pussy Poppin” and “Smack A Bitch Remix (feat. ppcocaine, Sukihana & Rubi Rose).” For the album, Rico took cues from fellow disrupters, such as Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes, leaning more into the magic of music videos to add another facet to her creativity. “iPhone” and “Own It,” boasting over 3.2 million views on YouTube combined, are testaments of her prowess as a visionary. She is one of the rare artists equipped to consistently satiate both supporters and industry giants, making her one of the breakout artists of this generation.
Since her formal debut in 2016, Rico has become a favorite in the press, covering a number of magazines in her signature style, including The Fader, NME, Acclaim, and XXL as a 2019 Freshman. Her work has received certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as well, with 2018’s “Smack A Bitch” going gold. The rapper has also built a serious presence in the fashion/beauty realm and in 2019, was named a brand ambassador for Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty. In addition, Rico Nasty recently made her stunning TV debut with a memorable, Victorian-style performance of her record, “OHFR?” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Coming into her own as an entrepreneur, last September Rico released her first makeup line in collaboration with Il Makiage, which quickly sold out. As a dedicated mother and a performer, Rico says that things are truly a balancing act, but she remains true to herself through it all.
Known for her cutting-edge productions with pop songwriting at its core, Danish singer/songwriter and political pop artist Soleima navigates societal issues and the very meaning of what it is to be human in all of her musical work. Soleima released single “Force of Nature” in October 2020, her first work since her album Powerslide came out in March. A highbrow press darling, Soleima has received praise from PAPER, Refinery29, Pop Crush, C-Heads, Red Bull, Bellus, Ones To Watch, LADYGUNN, L’Officiel, and more. She even received high praise from BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac, who selected Soleima as one her coveted New Names (ones to watch) on her show! The effortlessly talented singer/songwriter was born and raised in Denmark, drawing inspiration and honing her style from many genres and life experiences, including time spent at an African dance camp and pursuing a degree in Anthropology. Her breakout 2018 single “Low Life” was selected as one of Billboard’s “20 Great Pop Songs from 2018” along with being featured on the Spotify US Viral Chart following its release. Soleima continued her streak of critical acclaim in 2019, thanks to Refinery29 nominating her single “STFU” for their Song of the Year, along with a massively successful first official North American tour in support of Electric Guest.
