Description
Debut album from Australian singer and rapper Tkay Maidza. The album features collaborations from the likes of George Maple, Killer Mike, Friend Within, Dre Skull and follows on from her Switch Tape EP that featured collaborations with SBTRKT.
Armed with lust a pair of towering platform boots, an ability to write contagious club anthems to suit her lightning-fast emcee flow, and an undeniably soulful voice, Tkay Maidza has become one of the most buzzed about young artists in Australia.
She''s toured the world, played sell-out club shows, supported Mark Ronson, Rita Ora, Years & Years and Charli XCX. Yet seemingly unfazed by the fuss, Tkay is focused on crafting and re defining her unique music and determined to carve her own path.
Like many young musicians, Tkay''s first forays into music were playful - jamming with friends, stealing time in her Dad''s studio, recording sketches of songs on her iPhone and scouring the Internet for new tracks.
Born In Zimbabwe and now living in Adelaide, she credits her musical family for influencing her to take her song-writing talent seriously, inheriting her drummer and guitarist father''s rhythm. With her mother''s encouragement has hit pause on her studies to focus on her live shows, touring and hone her astoundingly self-taught skills.
This is looking to set be just the beginning.
Description
Highly Anticipated Debut Release From Tkay Maidza! In the past few years, singer/rapper Tkay Maidza has risen out of the underground to emerge as one of Australia's most electrifying artists. With her rapid-fire flow, frenetic beats, and fiercely inventive lyrics, the Zimbabwe-born 20-year-old is now set to shake up audiences worldwide with her unstoppably magnetic debut album, 'TKAY.' Maidza brings that dance-ready yet reflective dynamic to each track on 'TKAY,' an album that endlessly warps genres and shows her intense affinity for UK garage, grime, throwback hip-hop, and trap. Joining forces with producers like Salva (Young Thug, A$AP Ferg) and Dre Skull (Major Lazer, Snoop Dogg), Maidza continually pushes to the edge of chaos but keeps grounded in her pop-perfect melodies and masterfully heavy grooves. And in her lyrics, Maidza strikes a rare balance of boldness and vulnerability that gives 'TKAY' a potent emotional charge.
