Kia Rap Princess – “Come On”

The one and only Kia Rap Princess hooked up with Steve White and produced a brand new video for her fans. The visuals are for her track called “Come On” which can be found on her upcoming mixtape Heiress 2 The Throne: Volume 2. The video also stars the lovely Kelliy Nicole of the Black Dollar Divaz. The concept of the video centers around Kia and Kelliy spending a nice intimate evening together. Check it out below ….

 

If readers enjoyed the video and want more with Kia, they can check her out here. Also, stay tuned to the site. Heiress 2 The Throne: Volume 2 will hopefully be out later this month and will include a listening session and release party. Details will be posted as they become available. And Kia is also working on an EP entitled It Was Written that will hopefully be made available soon as well. The Princess of this rap game is doing big things, so be sure to keep up!

I really thought this was a simple yet effective video. It brought the song to life perfectly. The whole smooth grown & sexy vibe from the track was well portrayed in the project. Also, it showed off a different side of Kia that people don’t get to see too often. And it’s always nice to see an artist do something different and reflect their versatility. So much props to everybody involved with the visuals. This is definitely a winner. -MinM

Under the guidance of Blaqlizt veteran Kia Rap Princess, the young female rapper is gearing up to take the local Hip-Hop scene by storm. Her first step in doing so is this insane collaboration with her mentor. The production here is ill. The heavy bass line with the drum style kick creates an intense hood vibe. The hook is winning too. Kia brings her easy going flow with simple yet captivating lyrics. The verses are of superior quality as well. Nikki kicks things off on the first half of the track and Kia comes in on the second part. Both ladies came with dope flows, crafty wordplay, and flawless rhymes.  They do an excellent job of showing off their own individual swag, making the listener want to step their own game up. Peep Da Queen as she spits: “Flow so incredible, Blaqlizt Ent. If you seeing dollar signs then I bet you watching me. And my swag got more flavor then a tropical smoothie. Fresh when I hit the scene like I’m directing a movie. And you know I stay fly like a bird with the wings. I hold it down for my town, that’s why they call me Da Queen.”  Those lines are a nice raw taste of what Nikki has to offer. Overall, this song is fire and a great first single for Da Queen. It will definitely grab and hold the attention of any lover of TRUE Hip-Hop. But click that link and take a listen for yourself. So now that you know Da Queen can spit, bet you want to know more about who she is, right? Well stay tuned to new Hip-Hop site The Illixer for an exclusive Q&A featuring Da Queen herself.

This song goes hard, there is no denying it. Both Nikki and Kia came with their A game. And with Nikki being so young that just makes it more impressive. A while back Kia said that she was grooming Da Queen to one day take over the throne. If Nikki keeps up the good work and allows her craft to grow and improve, I couldn’t think of a better successor. Welcome to Blaqlizt Queen, proud to have you on the team! -MinM

The Balance EP: Money

The DMV homie Lyriciss has graced his fans with some new music. He recently dropped a new project called The Balance EP: Money. The EP is part of a four part series that the rapper is releasing in partnership with The DJBooth. This is the second offering from the series. The first is entitled The Balance EP: Respect and can be found here. The Balance EP: Money includes four brand new tracks and is executive produced by Inner Loop Media Group. Also, it features production from Grussle, J-Scrilla and Soulful!. Continue reading to check out a review of two of the four tracks.

“The Agenda”

This is one of the tracks produced by Grussle. The production is on point. It features a light knock, some background vocals, and a chill type of vibe. There is no actual hook present, just a a few references to the song title towards the end of the track. Which works out fine, the track still flows smoothly. There is no typical verse structure for this track either. Lyriciss basically just spits the whole way through. He does an excellent job too. He kept a good steady pace with a clean delivery, had some crafty wordplay, and dope rhymes. Notable lines include: “But I survive with my grind and my intellect. I’m killing n—-s like diabetes and cigarettes. Light brown skin, soul black as Henney. Stepping over the game like the Kappas shimmy. A lot of rappers in this field can’t practice with me. They some actors to me. Cause I got some James Cagney in me. Smart money, I be running for that. A public enemy, you know they be gunning for that.”  Some pretty slick lyricism in those lines, especially the play on the James Cagney reference. Overall, this track is hot and was a smart way to kick off the EP.

Wale F/ Lloyd – “Sabotage”

“Sabotage” F/ Lloyd

DMV rapper Wale has been riding high since the release of his sophomore album Ambition. The album’s first official  single/video “Lotus Flower Bomb” took the airwaves and media outlets by storm. Now hoping for another smash release off the album, Wale drops his track with Atlanta crooner Lloyd. The production here is quality. It features various instruments, a mid-tempo pace, and a smooth R&B type of vibe. The hook is on point as well. Lloyd has amazing vocals and the lyrics are interesting. The only complaint is that the instruments and vocals seem to get a little loud. Dialing back the instruments and playing Lloyd’s vocals at a gentler tone would have been nice. Not a big deal though, still a great hook. The verses are well done. Wale brings a relaxed flow, some witty wordplay, and smartly crafted rhymes. He does a wonderful job of sharing the story of his rocky relationship with a seemingly indecisive female. The details he provided really helped paint a vivid picture of the situation for the listener. It takes a truly talented emcee to do that. Overall, this is a winning track. It has a very appealing production and some solid substance. Click that link though to hear it for yourselves. As a reminder, Ambition is currently available via all music retailers. The iTunes link is provided earlier in the post. So go show Wale some love and snag a copy or two. And be sure to catch Wale live if given the chance. He is currently on tour, the info regarding the tour is available via his website.

I haven’t been crazy about Wale’s music since he teamed up with Rick Ross and company. But this track is pretty dope. Lloyd killed the hook and Wale did some nice storytelling that I feel anybody who has ever been in a relationship can relate to. Everyone has had at least one dysfunctional relationship that makes no sense. So props to Wale and Lloyd on this one. I don’t think it will be as big as “Lotus Flower Bomb” but this track definitely has the potential to be a hit. And as always, love to DJ Poizon Ivy for the music! -MinM

The Young Urban Society & Kia Rap Princess @ The Spot (Milwaukee, WI)

Remember how the coverage of the Southside Hip-Hop movement began with a post on a live session featuring Rockz Solid at The Spot? Well Mike Hernandez and DJ Cell of The Young Urban Society put together another live session featuring Blaqlizt Entertainment‘s own Kia Rap Princess. This time around DJ Cell took on more of a host type role. Mr. Hernandez was behind the camera once again. Mike Angel was responsible for the tunes. And Kia did what she does best, spit some hot tracks for everyone to enjoy. She did take a few minutes to chop it up with DJ Cell though to give fans a bit of insight on who she is. Check out all the action below.

 

If local readers enjoyed this session, then be sure to head out to The Spot this Friday. Mike and company are throwing the Sounds From The Othaground 2 event. Kia will be blessing the mic along with Sinista New Breed and a few other local talents. And DJ Cell will be providing the music. But if readers just can’t wait until Friday, they can check Kia out on her Sound Cloud page as well. Take a moment to click that Young Urban Society link too. It explains/showcases what the Southside movement is all about.

I thought this was another good session. I liked the fact that Kia not only showed off her crazy rhyme skills but that she blessed viewers with some of her vocal work as well. She has a nice little singing voice. And her and DJ Cell had a cool vibe going. It would be dope to see them do a mixtape or at least a track together. I know they read these, so think about it guys! On another note, major props to the Young Urban Society for the positivity and spotlight they are bringing to the Milwaukee Hip-Hop scene. That’s a good look! -MinM

“WTF U On”

Been showing the Southside a lot of love lately and they been giving it right back. However, had to bring it back to the home team for a second and shed some light on the fam Kia Rap Princess and her new track “WTF U On,” which gets the crowd extra hype every time she performs it. The production here is hot. There is a light instrument type sound at work, a solid bass line, and a street/hood vibe. The hook is on point too and extremely catchy. Kia brings her signature laid back delivery and the lyrics are real. The verses are sick. Kia went in from start to finish. She continued her mellow flow and her rhymes are witty and sharply crafted. Check it as she spits: “Yeah the princess in the building. Let ‘em know it’s I. I’m sorry hater I can’t hear you, cause I’m up too high. Ho don’t act like you ain’t notice. B—h you know I’m fly. And you don’t own a pair of these, so ho don’t even lie. Party in the VI. They hating, I can see why. Because I paid my dues and now they paying just to see I. Don’t worry bout my b.i. I got it locked like T.I. If it ain’t bout money, it don’t event get a reply.” Those lines are wicked dope! Overall, this track is a sure fire banger and should be on every true Hip-Hop heads’ playlist in the hood. But don’t just go by the review alone, click the link and bump the track for yourself.

“Maserati”

The name Sinista New Breed of New Breed Entertainment has been coming up a lot lately in posts related to the Southside movement. And that is because he has his hand in all aspects of the movement, as he does a little bit of everything.  Originally from Texas, Sinista would eventually find himself on the Southside of Milwaukee (WI) where he would turn to music to help him deal with his life experiences. Using his pain and struggle for motivation, Sinista has become known as a real and diverse emcee with high credibility who is well respected in the streets. He has done several mixtapes and features, leading up to the release of his first official album. But music isn’t Sinista’s only gift. He has a way with the camera as well. Which readers got a chance to see with the first all female Milwaukee Cypher and with the promo video for Sounds From The Othaground 2 event. And if that wasn’t enough, Sinista is all about using the Southside movement to create positivity. For example, he was able to convince rival gangs to put aside their differences in order to participate in one of his videos. That is pretty impressive. On a mission to make his mark in the game without conforming to typical industry standards, Sinista is doing all he can to be heard and recognized. And he is well on his way to achieving his goal. As he has a strong following in both the Spanish and English speaking communities by those who see/hear his endless artistic potential. Now that readers know a little more about Sinista and have seen his video work, let’s check out his music. Click the jump for a review of his track “Maserati.”
