WHAT IT IS: Hailing from New Jersey, Danielle Balbuena, a.k.a. 070 Shake, is among the most unique contemporary rappers with her genre-busting blend of emo-tinged hip-hop and alternative-pop sounds. After a memorable feature on Kanye’s “Ghost Town,” her synth-laden, alt-leaning debut album, Modus Vivendi—Latin for “two opposing parties coexist peacefully”—garnered acclaim from Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, which praised her brooding beats, soaring vocals and anthemic hooks. Filled with ’80s inspiration and dreamy pop sounds, the album is a compelling display of Shake’s uniqueness.
