Oakland-born writer, MC, and producer Nappy Nina shares new single 'Amen'
Friday Jul 8th 2022
While Nappy Nina previously made appearances on Yaeji, Quelle Chris, and Son Lux's music, her characteristic breezy flow has led her to conquer stages worldwide in her own right. For her Le Guess Who? performance, she will be joined by DJ Stas THEE Boss.
Now, the Oakland-born writer, MC, and producer releases her new song, produced by JWords. Tune in below.
"With a soft-sounding voice and a dense, writer’s-writer approach to rapping, Nappy Nina has emerged these past five years or so as an artist for those of us who still give a fuk about lyrics, but don’t want to listen to some old “rap used to be better” nonsense. Her style instead is personal and poignant, exploring the knotty parts of being alive and perhaps a little too aware" - Finals
Nappy Nina performs at Le Guess Who? 2022 on Friday, 11 November. Also performing at the festival are a.o. Zebra Katz, Abdullah Ibrahim, Nia Archives, Lex Amor, Liv.e, Moor Mother & billy woods performing 'BRASS', and many more.
