If anyone is looking for tips on how to get the perfect amount of grind into their Hip Hop tracks, hit play on Jeantalon’s debut single “Gutta” and grab a pen.
Gutta is a track which you immediately connect with. It’s raw, honest, and full of unflinching attitude which leaves you the impression that Jeantalon has got plenty to say. And you’d be quite right in that assumption.
Her debut single is an extension of her advocation for women to empower themselves and break free from the moulds which society tries to force us into. Quite honestly, as soon as I hit play, her empowered energy hit me and started to resonate in the same way as when I listen to an old 90s Riot Grrrl record. Any fans of Peaches will definitely want Jeantalon on their radars.
Gutta gives the essential invitation to women to own their sexuality and feel good about themselves as they try to be the best version of themselves. And that version is one which doesn’t need any exterior validation and one which throws away oppressive gender roles.
Did I just find a favourite Hip Hop artist of 2019? I think I did.
