Brand new track from Zara. This is the first single from her forthcoming album... Good effort, she raps playfully and keeps it feminine in her delivery.
Watch out for her album coming out soon. Let me know your thoughts.
Track was produced by Dognomite.
Previously: Iceberg Slim ft Zara - Action (Touch My Body)

Keep it up ZARA we need more joint like this in the club!

I know folks won't agree with me but I've been following this gurl's stuff for a while and I think she's the best overall (delivery + flow + lyrics) naija fem rapper right now. Opinions?

beat is sick!!!!!
Posted by: deji adeloye | February 24, 2009 at 06:27 PM
i disagree with you there tolani. I agree that she is talented but she hasn't put out a body of work that will place her as the best naija fem rapper. What about weird mc, sasha? I'll place my bets on her before anybody else

Ok, ok, ok, ok! I gotsa come in here again.
Being a prolific collector of "contemporary urban Naija music", I think I can safely say that there are broadly three categories of musicians that fall into the aforementioned:
1) Those that sing or rap in Pigeon English (sometimes with a sprinkling of their local dialect, mostly in the hook) e.g. 2face, dbanj, psquare etc.
2) Those that go on & on & on & on...in their local dialect e.g. lord of ajasa, 9ice, flavor, nigga raw etc
3) Those that spit or rap in English or American street lingua e.g. M.I., Kel, Dare (sometimes) etc
From what I've seen so far, those in the 1st category seem to get the most National, Continental (and sometimes international) recognition/success, employing the same formula used by legends like Prince Nico Mbarga and Fela (who sang mostly in Pigeon English with a healthy sprinkling of Yoruba).
Those in the 2nd category, methinks, just want to represent their tribe. Yes, we feeling the Cabasa beats, but we aint gotta clue what you flowing about; so when we don't feel the beat, we don't feel you.
As for the 3rd category (where I think Zara is at), you taking on the likes of Missy E, Foxy Brown, Eve etc,, on their on patch?!!
Need I say more?????

this chick is good! beat is fire also
Posted by: shawn c | February 24, 2009 at 09:34 PM
This song right here is a bout of fresh air to the Nigerian scene...its playful and yet tight, in short different.
...I also agree with 4ward..She has an advantage which if played well may take her far
