by Karen
This week highlight new rap artists who are making big waves in the game. Take a listen to the tracks and let us know what you think.
Artist: So So Ready
Track: Nights In The East
Hot Take: Washington Heights native So So Ready debuts “Nights In The East”, an ode to the east coast. The influence that the east has had on hip hop culture itself runs deep. The record talks highs and lows, and everything from a seriously bad accident at 11, to false friendships.
“if you ain’t running with my guys, who you running with?”
Artist: Skizzy Mars
Track: American Dream
Hot Take: The 24 year old Harlem rapper questions the idea of the “American Dream” and who all is entitled to it. Mars uses his well-timed flow and cadence (reminiscent of ‘College Dropout’ Kanye) to illustrate a perfect “dollar and a dream” lifestyle via the hook. Wine glasses for dirty Fantas.
Artist: Chinese Kitty
Track: Kitty Walk
Hot Take: Guyanese & Chinese rapper has been making waves with her spitfire lyrics and beats. Making a name for herself all over the internet, she made her television debut on Love & Hip Hop Miami. ‘Kitty Walk’ is a call to action gathering all her girls together to stunt and make money.
Artist: Cam Wallace
Track: Like Me
Hot Take: Artist, Producer & Songwriter Cam Wallace is a rapper from Houston. With an array of influence and relentless determination, Wallace raps and croons over ‘Like Me’ about his worth in his relationship. Check out his latest ‘New Tesla [Extra]’.
