Upcoming Atlanta MC/Singer Nikkiya is like a more talented,more collected, more poetic, more soulful, less vulgar version of Nicki Minaj. Actually, I take that back, mentioning Minaj when talking to Nikkiya would just be irresponsible. The under-hyped hip/hop artist has been collaborating with MC Lyte and Yelawolf on her new mixtape “SpeakHer”. The amount of raw power and emotion on her mixtape almost feels unprecedented. Where many female MC’s have failed, Nikkiya takes the crown with her smooth soulful voice and keen melodic ear and aggressive nature. There is everything from marching girl power bangers like “Cheater”, softer lyrically rich tracks like “Titanic” and much smoother relaxing tracks like “When I was high”.
Nikkiya is a completely refreshing voice to what we are usually used to in the R&B and Hip/Hop world and a definitely artist to look out for in 2012.
