New Zealand’s Ella Yelich-O’Connor AKA Lorde has graciously taken the time to walk us through her 10 commandments of Hip Hop to start the week! Featuring an eclectic mix of artists, Lorde has selected tracks from the likes of Mobb Deep, J Dilla, Cyne and the infamous Nicki Minaj verse from ‘Monster’ and ultimately provides a rare insight into the taste and sensibilities of this rising star who recently covered Kanye West‘s ‘Hold My Liquor’.
It was a quick chat so unfortunately we couldn’t delve too much into each track, however get to know Lorde below:
