San Diego rapper Amon has found a level of smooth that’s all his own, and it’s on full display in his latest single, “Uglee.” Dating in the 21st century is the topic of conversation, and he tells it like it is from the first lyric: “I’m in lust.” Amon brings grounded energy to every line he raps, making you privy to a late-night conversation as he talks about falling for ladies “superb and attractive and out of my league.” Naturally, the dreamy video finds him scrolling on his phone, sitting cross-legged in bed, reporting live from the apps. With an infectious smile, it’s hard not to get excited alongside him, even if your Tinder pool leaves something to be desired. —Carson Mlnarik
