Nappy Nina on Becoming the Rap Bill Nye and Missing Oakland


Listen Later

Nappy Nina is a lyricist with a smooth-sultry delivery that's almost jazz-like, especially when coupled with some signature Boom-Bap production. In her songs, she raps about breakups, missing Oakland, the disappointing produce in Brooklyn, and navigating rough financial waters.

She's gotten mentions from the Grammys and Bandcamp. And she's been working on a streak of exciting projects. For an organization called Flocabulary, Nina was commissioned to pen a rhyme that tells the story of Toni Morrison. And this year, she's built on that momentum by dropping a new single,"Pandemy Stimmy," which features Stas Thee Boss. Soon, she'll release a new EP, Double Down, in collaboration with New Jersey-based producer, J Words.
