She’s written for a wide range of publications including stints at Complex, Stereogum and The Fader, among many, many others. Lucky for you (and us!), she took the time to let us in on a few of her favorite things. Check it out after the jump.

Record you’ve listened to most in your life? A tie between Lil’ Kim’s Hard Core and Q And Not U’s Different Damage.
