Get to Know: K'la

In an industry dominated by machismo and egos, it sure is nice to get that breathe of fresh air that the femcee K'la provides. Hailing from Gary, Indiana, K'la is a stark contrast from the current pool of female rappers (cough, cough Nicki Minaj) that we have been tricked into believing are the only options. Not only does she provide smart and substantial lyricism, she also sings and sprinkles in just enough hood flavor to keep it interesting.

After relocating to Atlanta and dropping her mixtape, Coldest Winter Ever, K'la proved that she has what it takes to make it in the rap game. Her most popular single, All Your Love, was a smooth track that featured her displaying her vocals as well as lyricism over the classic Bob Marley track Turn the Lights Down Low. The track was also produced by Marley's son, Stephen and its success has made her one of the up and coming artists to watch. 

K'la latest single, Blame, showcases her vocals and features one of hip hop's greatest lyricist and my baby daddy in my head, Nas. Currently signed to Island Def Jam, K'la is planning to release her debut album sometime in 2013 and if her work from her mixtape is any indication of what is to come, it should be exciting.
