Kamaiyah
Recommended
If you're sleeping on A Good Night in the Ghetto, the debut tape from Oakland's Kamaiyah, you're missing some factual good news—a lusty bandanna-sporting rapper straight out 1995, but totally contemporary, coming into her own. She effortlessly invokes the easy summer fun of the era I'm fondest of, and it's right on time for the brighter days ahead (and I do mean brighter in its most literal sense—don't get your hopes too high, ever).
