With Eve garnering incredible critical acclaim, Rapsody feeds the masses with a new video off the album. The Snow Hill emcee recruits Leikeli47 to put some verbal enhancement on the bouncy “Oprah.” Once again, we get powerful images of Black women as the two emcees make the dollas circulate.
North Carolina has become a hotbed for talent. The queen of the state is Rapsody and the JAMLA emcee releases the video for the album opener for her phenomenal Eve album with “Nina.” Powered by a Mark Byrd production that flips a sample of the late, great Nina Simone, Rapsody demonstrates why she’s one of hip hop’s finest, man or woman.
Rapsody is coming for necks with her next album. Following up the stellar Laila’s Wisdom, the North Carolina emcee is preparing to drop her next album Eve later this month. She drops off the lead single “Ibtihaj,” which pays tribute to Ibtihaj Muhammad. A member of the United States national fencing team, Ibtihaj became the first Muslim American woman to wear a hijab while competing for the US in the Olympics in 2016.

Rapsody has been relatively quiet since dropping the stellar Laila’s Wisdom a couple of years ago. But to celebrate Mother’s Day, Rapsody looks to the ultimate TV mom in Phylicia Rashad for inspiration on the Buddy assisted and 9th Wonder produced “Phylicia.”
