I don't know how I clicked on this, but this is the first time I heard her speak outside of her rhyming. That's what I was basing her off and you would figure she sound all hood, but she is real soft spoken with a nuturing mother or school teacher voice. Beautiful sister.
@perrysaunders331 3 жыл бұрын
I knew off bat she wasn't Hood base on her diction and her vase vocabulary in her rhymes. Plus I read her Parents were Jazz Artists from South Africa to the Bronx. So she studied music being around them and had vase exposure.
