Perhaps the BEST SINGER EVER!!!: NIKKO GRAY


the list of singers i adore is surprisingly minimal. unbelievably, over the weekend i stumbled upon my newest love...the amazingly talented Miss Nikko Gray. she has the type of voice & vibe that other vocalists employing swagger coaches can't even imagine reproducing.
she has the rapturous presence you feel in gina rene's voice with the sassy soulfulness esthero always brings.
simply put: nikko is a bad motherfucker.
she is truly blessed on the joss stone/christina aguilera level + she likes working it out on unconventional electronic hip hop/neo-soul instrumentals = blackdaylight is in love! please do not take my word & have a listen to Nikko Gray's extraordinarily dope music
Miss Gray liking music so similar to mine is enough to re-inspire me to self actualizing all of that potential that i'm supposed to have!

perhaps i could charm my way into doing a song with her one day...finger's crossed!

MUHSINAH

i have to thank my brother drunken monkeee for introducing me to Muhsinah...this sista is the truth! while listening to her album Daybreak all i could think of was, "why can't i find someone to write to my songs in such a breathtakingly interesting way???"...after googling her to see what the deal was i realized that the most likely reason that all of Muhsinah's songs are so incredible & intricate is because she a quadruple threat: produce, singer, writer, & engineer.
of course this sent me through the roof because i absolutely love finding female producers that make creative music...or any music period, because for what its worth the mainstream media makes it appear that missy is the only producer that (thoroughly) reps for her gender.
i just wanted to show some love to an incredibly talented artist on g.p. so please support Muhsinah & other independent artists so that we can all eventually stop complaining about how terrible commercial music has become
