New Entries Ranked

1. Be Alright
It's no Kendrick Lamar, but, eh. Todd was right when he said Ariana Grande shines best when she's cooing. And while this song isn't particularly special, it's still pretty good thanks primarily to her. Not that there's anything wrong with the beat, it just doesn't stand out as much.

2. Body
I guess it's not awful? I'm not really a fan of the low-fi sounds. The beat's simple but not egregious. I found myself grooving to it on occasion. However our performers don't really impress. I also find the line "I'm about to catch a body" pretty stilted.

3. Team
It's an improvement over Pretty Girls. But uh, that's not much of an improvement. The beat gives me a headache. Iggy's just doing the same thing that people got sick of back in 2014 except now she also does the hook. Part of me thinks she's actually better off singing than rapping. Overall, eh, it's not that bad, but let's face it, this song will go nowhere.
