SZA - "Julia"

The first lady of TDE, SZA had quite the 2014. While she just missed making our Top 10 Breakout Artists Of 2014 list, SZA ensured listeners that she’s hear to stay. Some of her success has come from outside of her own music, in the form of penning other artists work — even that of Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj.

SZA wrote part of Nicki and Bey’s collab “Feeling Myself” which can be found on the high-selling The Pinkprint that she recently released. “Yeah, I wrote parts of that. A nice chunk of that [laughs], I’m on the credits so I think it’s really interesting,” she said. “It was dope meeting Beyoncé, she’s tight, she’s perfect actually.” Hit-Boy reportedly made this happen for SZA and she went on to say that her and Hit-Boy vibe in the studio and that he’s not the slightest bit pretentious or anything of the sort.

The talented singer also said, “I’ve learned a lot and I’m more vulnerable than I once was before. I was like pretending to be vulnerable because it’s like I’m awkward naturally but I’m also very afraid to just be like all comfy because people can do all types of shit and fuck your stuff up when you’re too vulnerable.” She added, “But I think at some point you have to commit and literally put your genitals to the wall like you got to just do it [laughs]. So I’m now at that point where it’s like do it or get the fuck out.”

If you haven’t yet, make sure to purchase The Pinkprint here and give “Feeling Myself” another listen.
