Ashes of Another Life

$9.99

Diversity is one of the pillars that hip hop has always stood on. Whether it be variations in style, speak, or ethnicity, the music manages to transcend it all, not only shrugging off the countless juxtapositions but welcoming them with open arms. This disc is a great example, showcasing a multi-racial female MC who is brimming over with verses and concepts, patiently chomping at the bit to break it all down for you. Fittingly, she does so with force and intelligence, flaunting a confidence that can't be faked or fronted on. "With every verse I drop, I live beyond the grave," she spits on the album's opener, setting a standard for the fearless flows that follow. Making it clear that her gender is secondary to the fact that she is an accomplished lyricist, the tracks focus wisely on real life experience, picking a channel of contention and speaking volumes inside of 16 bars. While most of the tracks maintain stark intensity that almost boils over, songs like "Just Wanna Be" focus on a softer side, lending to her credibility as a versatile artist and someone who is ready to earn the respect she deserves.
