Solomon Georgio
Look, I’m just going to say it: I’m sick of listening to white-straight-guy comedians tell jokes about Tinder and beards. That truly doesn’t interest me. You know who does? Solomon Georgio, whose comedy isn’t just inventive—it’s smart, gregarious, and consistently great. Need a preview? Check out his political quips ’n’ barbs on Twitter; they’re some of the best things in that godforsaken cesspool. MEGAN BURBANK

Playboi Carti, Young Nudy, Pierre Bourne
Atlanta rapper Playboi Carti dropped his self-titled debut mixtape in April, and just a few months later, the 20-year-old appeared on XXL’s Freshman Class cover. Listen to “Magnolia” and you’ll understand why so many are hooked. The dark, spiraling bass line, eerie flute melody, and Carti’s simple but hypnotically repetitive verses sound like a haunted carousel you can’t exit. The track even begins and ends with someone yelling, “Yo Pierre, you wanna come out here?” heightening the circular surrealism. CIARA DOLAN
