If anything has been evident over the first 6 months of 2019, its that female emcees have been making waves in a real way. All over hip-hop, women have been creating some of the most fire music to drop this year, today I want to introduce our readers to Rude Nala. With the drop of her new project Rudeness, Nala uses her laidback vocals to create a blend of rap and R&B that comes off as effortless in her delivery. The 7-song EP features all that has lead Nala to creating a buzz out of the west coast of Canada, utilizing her smooth vocals and lyricism to make each track sound different than the last.
This project plays well from front to back, a perfect listen for a cloudy grey afternoon while in your feelings. Her voice on “I Can’t Tell” is incredibly moody and atmospheric, a contrast to the song “Big Dawg” which has her laying down melodic bars in a more traditional rap sense. The duality between her styles is what makes her an exciting artist to watch in my eyes. This project mainly has Nala showing off her talents, with the only feature coming from her partner in crime Lilz. Overall, this is a step in the right direction for the rising Canadian songstress, an overall leap from her past projects.
