Traumazine

About

Megan Thee Stallion wastes no time getting to the heart of the matter on <i>Traumazine</i>, the long-awaited follow-up to the Houston MC’s 2020 album, <i>Good News</i>. “I ain’t perfect/But anything I did to any of you n****, y’all deserved it!” she raps at the outset of album opener “NDA.” Indeed, Thee Stallion, who’s unwittingly made more headlines over the past two years for her role as a victim of a high-profile shooting than she has for the hits she continues to deliver, is not here to apologize. In fact, she’s here to remind both well-wishers and detractors alike that she’s going to win regardle, because that’s just how she’s built. “Fuck it, bitch, I’m not nice/I’m the shit/I’m done with being humble/’Cause I know that I’m that bitch,” she declares on “Not Nice.” Now, that’s “real hot girl shit.” And you’ll find it in abundance across <i>Traumazine</i>, Meg making time to address “fake-a, snake-a, backstabbing, hating-a, no-money-getting-ass bitches” (“Ungrateful”), fair-weather friends (“Flip Flop”), and even her own mental health struggles (“Anxiety”). .
