It might even be that the new year on the way heralds a step back from precipice, instead of a continued, head-long plunge into complete annihilation. In Naarm / Melbourne, especially, it must already seem like a new day. Some locals, rather than just getting on the beers, have their sights set a little higher up the shelf of aspirations.
Megan Thee Stallion: Good News
<p><span><span>- Few people can claim to have had a good year throughout 2020. Of those few, barely any have had the year that Megan Thee Stallion<em> </em>has had. Coming off XXL and her <em>Fever</em> project last year, Megan has seen a wave of success with her last EP <em>Suga</em>, big hit <em>Savage</em>, the even bigger <strong>Beyonce </strong>remix and of course the much talked about <em>WAP </em>with <strong>Cardi B</strong>.
