Kamaiyah is a celebrated singer-songwriter, and rapper from Oakland, California. In March, she released her debut mixtape titled, ‘A Good Night in the Ghetto‘. Her mixtape has sixteen songs; Two of them feature other artists (Zay and YG). Less than a week ago, Kamaiyah and YG released the official video for ‘Fuck It U’, track five on the project. Whenever they release music together, they create magic.
As far as visuals and sound wise, ‘Fuck It Up’, has that classic West Coast vibe that could never get old. The “Queen of Oakland” brought the whole city out, from the start of the video, you can see how flooded the streets were. Old school cars, dirtbikes, and of course some new foreign cars; it looked like they were having a party in the streets. When it’s YG’s turn to rap, the video takes a dark spin. The scenes quickly switched from a beautiful day in Oakland to a scary night in Bompton. In my opinion, Kamaiyah is an artist you should watch. It looks like she will be around for awhile. Purchase tickets to YG’s ‘FDT’ Tour to see these two in action. I am sure it will be worth every penny.
