Noname has shown she’s not afraid to hold some of the biggest names in music accountable by calling out JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé and Rihanna for their relationships with the NFL.
The Chicago rapper released her new album Sundial on Friday (August 11), ending the five-year wait after her critically acclaimed 2018 project Room 25.
Common, Jay Electronica and billy woods headline the impressive supporting cast, but it’s one of Noname’s solo offerings, “Namesake,” that commands listeners’ attention as she criticizes the aforementioned megastars for cozying up to the National Football League and performing at the Super Bowl.
