It’s hard to pick a favorite song off of The FADER’s GEN F star Jae Stephens's new album AUDACITY, but among my top picks is this Timbaland-style bouncer that boasts Stephens’s eye-popping one-liners, such as: “I like bringing home the bacon / But I still spend yours, that's reparations.” — Tobias Hess

“Let’s both try to take all the pills and see who’ll die from it first,” Nino Paid bitterly raps on the chorus of “Edge of the Earth.” Nino’s music is candid and earnest, even when he's at his lowest, but “Edge of the Earth” feels particularly stark: “I know in this life you could die any moment / [If] I tell you, ‘I love you?’ I love you.” – Vivian Medithi

It stays with you. — TH
