Lizzo didn’t just return to music Friday she bulldozed the gates of Hip-Hop with a full-force rap mixtape titled My Face Hurts From Smiling. Released with scant warning, the 13-track project marks a new chapter for the multi-platinum entertainer. Back to rap she goes.
“Yitty on Yo Tittys” broke the pop artist out, but she insists she really like that as a rapper. On “Crashout,” she raps, “They just mad ’cause I got motion like a roller coaster.” In a standout moment, Lizzo links with Doja Cat on “Still Can’t Fuh.” “IRL” features SZA and offers a smoother, club-ready vibe. Lizzo’s punchy cadence and SZA’s spoken-word could be an anthem.
She’s ready to reintroduce herself. My Face Hurts From Smiling is fun, fearless and full of one liners. Lizzo may have built her empire on pop hits and anthems but this mixtape proves she can still hop in a cipher. Cardi B isn’t the only one that;’s outside. Make room for Lizzo.
