The New Wave is a feature we’ll be presenting every Tuesday. It will highlight one song we’re currently obsessed with, by a new or rising artist.
What we say:
Kamaiyah’s A Good Night In The Ghetto project is a breakout moment for the Oakland rapper. The 21-year-old delivered a mixtape full of memorable hooks, mesmerizing production, and real, relatable lyrics advocating perseverance and self-belief above all else. The anthemic “How Does It Feel” preceded the tape’s release, and we still can’t stop playing it. It’s a celebration, and after all her hard work, Kamaiyah is right to be feeling herself.
What she says:
“How Does It Feel” is an anthem for the underprivileged to celebrate life and to make it OK to not be wealthy again.
