One of the hottest young talents emerging this year, Nigerian-born, London-based rapper brazy has been demanding an increasing level of attention with every passing release. Despite being merely 21 years old, there is confidence, charisma and craft oozing from her artistry.
Known for her multi-lingual approach to songwriting – rapping in English, Yoruba, French and Zhōngwén, the rising star blends the styles of afrobeats, amapiano, electronica and dance into a dynamic, coherent and progressive amalgamation of genre, self-coining the approach as ‘afro-sexy, afro-future’. She recently had a stint with Casablanca soundtracking Mugler, an indicator of her chameleonic and characterful ambitions.
brazy has returned with a new single, “omg”. There is something immediately undeniable about the track; she flicks between from English to Yoruba effortlessly, seamlessly spitting atop the energetic production from Parked Up. Augmenting her acclaim, brazy has the sound, skill and image to become a global force.
