Have You Heard??: TIFF THE GIFT

1) Definitely a break from the mainstream, and an alternative to Nicki Minaj.

2) There are so few female rappers, and people stereotype them as rapping about sex and being sexual. She speaks on real life in a real and different way

3) delivery and flow are on point

Those three points came from a friend of mine who has eclectic tastes like me. I'll just call him T for props. Anyway, this chick can spit. I'm not mad at her at all... Cool, Calm, Chill is the album you definitely need to get, especially if you appreciate rhymes about the genuine things in life. You can get her album from Amazon or iTunes. I like her, she's different. Haven't had much luck finding an official website by her, but I found her iLike page, so maybe that can give you a jump start.

Of course, there's always the wonder and magnificent YouTube. Check one of her videos. This is my personal favorite.

Once I find more information on her, like finding a Twitter page or something of that sort, I'll post it. As of right now, just enjoy the little nibblets I've introduced you to. Hopefully you don't get too addicted.

Have You Heard?? : SOMI

so i've been doing some snooping around on various websites, and then i re-discovered an artist that i found YEARS ago. anyway, this singer is an african-jazz singer, which i absolutely love! when i first found this artist, i heard her song "ingele," which is on her album Red Soil In My Eyes (2007). I have yet to get an album by her (bad CeCe!).However she has four other albums that YOU can purchase on iTunes or Amazon. She's awsome, and i totally recommend her if you like jazz music and if you appreciate musicians who sing in other languages.

here are some Youtube videos of two of my favorite songs by her.

here is her website where you can find out more about her.
