About Me

"Simultaneously abstract and raw, the thick blend of hip hop, spoken word, and neo-soul from this Los Angeles MC is something worth wrapping your head around. With a voice that is tailor made for rapping as well as singing, she uses discretion when saturating the tracks, creeping in and out of the forefront while echoing the beats with vocal hits and jabs that are well placed and add a real density to the mix. While the feel is at times somber and on the verge of deadly serious, the songs maintain an allegiance to positivity that isn't far beneath the surface. It's this look at the bright side that really carries these songs and renders them so memorable and effective. While she often gives the vibe of a hardened and street savvy woman, she is equally delicate and feminine when it counts. The juxtaposition between this vocal/lyrical approach and the heavy, haunting beats is a risk, but it works to her advantage, really giving her a push while smoothing out the edges of the music. With guest vocalists that are as adept as she is at commanding and taking hold of a track, this album offers enough variety and intricacy to keep the heads spinning for a long time to come." - CD BABY july 2007 review of ESCAPE FROM BABYLONI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
