Mark my words, Santigold is taking over. And I’m pretty sure that after watching this video flocks of young females are going to be hitting up their local H&M for some floral trousers.

A few years ago I wrote a paper in which I discussed and subsequently dissected the current state of women in hip-hop.  I eventually came to the conclusion that my fellow gender counteparts were about to take back what was rightfully theirs.  The reasoning behind this you ask?  Well that’s easy, her name is Santigold.

Santigold (formerly Santogold) released her debut album in 2008 and that shit was all kinds of cray.  It blended everything from reggae to indie pop and featured some of the industries biggest names, including Diplo and Switch.  She co-wrote and produced the entire album and once again made female empowerment an endearing quality.

As of late, Santigold has been working on her follow up album “Master of My Make-Believe”, which is expected for a spring release.  The first single “Big Mouth” dropped last month and with it she reclaims the meaning behind bad ass bitch.  It’s reminiscent of old-school Missy Elliot and the subtle stabs at her misguided haters is pure genius.  This is one fantasy I definitely want to be apart of.

Santigold – I’m a Lady (Benny Blanco Remix)

Here is what appears to be a snippet of a Santigold remix that we received. It’s only a couple minutes long, but the beat is just nuts.

Is Benny Blanco looking to tease the internets?
