Rubi Rose

Rubi Rose switched up her role in the music industry, going from modeling and appearing in videos for other rappers to making tracks of her own. After debuting in 2018 with a feature on a Playboi Carti song, Rose highlighted her brash, sexually explicit lyrics, and effortless rhyme skills on singles like 2019’s “Big Mouth.”

Rose was born in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1998 and moved to Atlanta in her teens after spending her childhood in Switzerland. She became involved in modeling, and in 2016 she was one of the featured models in Migos’ smash hit “Bad and Boujee.” She also appeared in other videos around this time as her social media fame grew. During a time when she was dating Playboi Carti, she contributed a verse to his 2018 song “On Top.” After this foray into rapping, she sharpened up her style somewhat for her debut 2019 single, “Trickin’.” Buzz for the song was significant, but it was topped by her next single, “Big Mouth,” which arrived in June of the same year.

Beyonce

One of the most recognizable figures in contemporary music, Beyoncé rose to fame in the late '90s as the central member of pop-R&B group Destiny's Child, and the following decade embarked on a multi-platinum, record-breaking solo career with Dangerously in Love (2003), her first in an unbroken string of number one pop solo albums. Chart-topping singles such as "Crazy in Love" (2003), "Irreplaceable" (2006), and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" (2008), combined with sold-out world tours and Grammy awards, all heightened her profile in the 2000s. Billboard named her female artist of the decade, while the RIAA acknowledged that, with 64 gold and platinum certifications, she was the decade's top-selling artist. Once Beyoncé released her self-titled fifth solo album in 2013, it was evident that the powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and dancer wasn't merely an entertainer but a progressive artist as well. The notion was affirmed throughout the remainder of the decade with Lemonade (2016) and Everything Is Love (2018), the latter of which was a collaboration with husband Jay-Z.
