I was so grateful to get new music from Jazmine Sullivan. What did you hear in 2021 that you loved? But we’ll see how long that lasts and what happens as a result of it. And seeing that the Golden Globes aren’t existing this year, I think that speaks to something larger about artists reclaiming their own voices. Even the Golden Globes, they’re not the same at all, but they have some of the same practices, some of the same exclusive, corrupt nature. When you have popular artists that are openly renouncing these institutions like that - that’s empowering, and that gives voice all the way down to the bottom. To see Black people and our contributions to music not celebrated in the way they should be - I mean, these aren’t institutions for us.ĭrake recently made news by asking to withdraw his music from Grammys competition.

This is dumb, but I’ll say it anyway: A song like “ Essence” - just absolutely a powerhouse, and yet could not be properly acknowledged by the institution that is supposed to celebrate the best in music - that trips me out. When I think about the Grammys and these other systems that are designed to reward artistic creativity and uplift artists, I just feel like, “Y’all don’t get it. What really bums me out - and this aligns with Hollywood - is the way that music is rewarded. I love the idea that female artists are, in a sense, getting their due, but it still feels like there’s only a very specific type of sound. Does that inspire you?ĭo I feel inspired? I honestly don’t know. The past few years have been big for women in hip-hop and R&B. And finding out how artists were treated at other labels… Being a creator myself and knowing what I want in terms of a relationship with a production company or a producer, I’d like to think that we’re more artist-friendly than a lot of other labels and companies out there. I don’t want to get too specific, but even in crafting our own deals with labels or artists, it would be so convoluted. Crooks and criminals! It’s an abusive industry, and I really feel for artists that have to come up in it. The music industry, it needs to start over. It’s probably the worst industry that I have ever come across. Does it strike you as a place where good ideas flourish?Ībsolutely not. You’ve spent a minute in the music biz now. Sometimes I’ll be disappointed: “I really f- with that riff, and they didn’t do it the same as I remember it.” And I just love the recorded version of things. But I’ve never been one to seek out shows because music is so personal to me. R&B testimonials, teen confessionals, hip-hop in pop-star drag and more, in a wide-open year for breakthroughs. No other city was making the sounds of L.A. Dre - that was a representation of my city and such a distinct sound.

Artists like Suga Free and DJ Quik and Dr. I remember when 2Pac died and that fueling so much pride in West Coast music. How did you experience music growing up in L.A.? As a music lover, nothing excites me more than feeling like you’re on to an artist first. And then, of course, I do my own digging for people that I love. Kier has put me on to so many new artists that I felt get the sound of the show. Was elevating up-and-comers always part of the equation? They’ll name a song and be like, “This sounds like something that should be on ‘Insecure.’” Such a high compliment. I’ve heard people say that, and it’s so flattering. Episode 8 of the last season, I always say that’s my opus because I wanted every song to represent the romanticism. I love adding music to those scenes, deciding which ones will affect how the audience may feel.

Also the way we put sex scenes and Black lovemaking on the map in a new way. We highlighted female singers and rappers in a distinct way when others weren’t - I’m thinking about TT the Artist and Kari Faux in Season 1. What are you most proud of in terms of how “Insecure” has handled music?
