Raven Marion, or 222Unique, is the whole party. She lays it all out for us on the infectious single, “Party,” with lyrics: “I like to drink / I like to smoke...” The long list of her favorite vices extends to drugs, then on to specific details of sex. Once taboo, the likes of Rico Nasty, Saweetie, Meg and Cardi have paved the way for ambitious, confident female emcees to be as graphic as the best of ‘em. 222Unique is an Independent Music Award recipient, and is a talented rapper. Her flow is impressive and she especially attacks on the verses of “Understand” and “Where Was You At?” The squealy, bratty role can become grating and annoying, but 222Unique is aggressive, shocking and exciting to hear.
