We've got a brand-new queen on our women in hip hop list.

Meet Nyota Parker - a Montreal-based rapper, singer and songwriter of Congolese and Irish heritage, originally raised in Cape Town, South Africa. Yep, that's quite the melting pot of cultures, and it inevitably finds its way into her art. And damn, what a sound that is.

A cool fact about Nyota - she coined the term trazz for her blend of jazzy rhythms, soul, and trap production. Now that's a vibe. Today we're flying high thanks to her latest single, "SAY LESS", released on September 4th. As soon as I hit that play button, I got those power-up goosebumps. The kind of song that feels unapologetic and helps you lock in from the get-go.
