This week, Features contributor Matty G speaks with Chicago-based songstress Khaliyah X. They discuss her new EP Just For the Summer and how recording it during the winter and spring kept her going through the cold weather, her musical influences and inspirations, her interests in healing and herbalism, and her favorite live performance experiences thus far. 

"There's nothing you have to explain to anyone, just believe in yourself and find people who believe in you and create the room that you want to be in. If you have something to say, if you have a gift, you didn't get that gift for no reason. It was given to you to share with the world, so share it." - Khaliyah X
