Newcomer Kamaiyah Has A Drake Collab On The Way

21-year-old Kamaiyah is one of the hottest artists coming out of the Bay Area. The Oakland native saw regional success in 2015 with “How Does It Feel,” paving the way for her highly-buzzed about debut mixtape, A Good Night In The Ghetto, last month, multiple SXSW performances and a spot on XXL’s list for potential 2016 freshmen. You know what else it did? It got the attention of none other than Drizzy Drake, that’s what. It’s not new news that Drake has his finger on the pulse of what’s hot, as he’s consistently co-signed newcomers over the years and given their career an extra boost. Whether with an Instagram post (like Kodak Black) or hopping on their bubbling song (like Future, Migos, Fetty Wap), Drake has had a helping hand in making many of yesterday’s relative unknowns into today’s favorites. (I stress the phrase “helping hand,” though – let’s be clear that these artists were already doing their thing pre-Drake, hence why they even caught his attention. Hell, it still remains to be seen whether he’s only helping them just to maintain his own relevance or actually cares, but that’s neither here nor there…)


QuestLove Says That D’Angelo’s Album In NOT Quite Finished Yet…WHY ???

Roots’ Questlove is saying that D’Angelo’s up-coming album is 99% complete. Do you think that could be because it has no title yet ? That was the only remotely close to negative statement Questlove had to say about the “How Does It Feel” singer. He’s boasting about this album that he has assisted in by playing the drums. “He’s one of those artists that have, of course, taken 13 years to follow up a record. It’s going to take you about 10 years to digest this record. Totally brilliant,” Quest says. That must mean that this will be an old-school classic banger. Questlove also states that most records if they are a classic you’ll know after the first listen, however these D’Angelo hits, we’ll know that they are classics after the first 30secs. D’Angelo should be turning the album in no later then February for a hearing. They have been working on the album since 2004. Well, I can’t wait then. This should be good to hear. Drop down bottom for more. JaaiR (JR)
