Now that we’ve hit 2011, here is a preview of things to come. Though you may not have heard of Shunda K (except for maybe a free download from ETS), she has been making the rounds and establishing her name in the underground hip-hop circuit. She began her career as one third of Yo Majesty with fellow female rapper Shon B and Jwl B. K has since then pursued a solo career and the result is one of 2o11’s first album’s: The Most Wanted, to be released on Jan. 11.
Serving up an interesting mix of old school hip-hop beats and big club beats, The Most Wanted is a fun listen when it comes to musical aspect. Lyrically, K is known for her no holds barred lyrics, which are displayed upon immediate listen of the album. Her lyrics have powerful messages about female empowerment, religion and sexuality among others, making her album fun, smart and powerful at the same time.
Opening with “I Am Yo! Majesty” and “I’m Da Best” featuring Shon B, The Most Wanted gives the listener flashbacks to 80’s/early 90’s hip-hop. Then comes “Here I Am To Save The World,” which offers deep-thumping and dancey hi-hat beats that will definitely get you moving. The rest of the album continues in that fashion, giving the listener a reason to dance while not having to dumb it down.
What stands out the most in The Most Wanted is Shunda K’s lyrical fearlessness. Her songs have bite and she can definitely keep up with the boys without letting you forget that she is a powerful woman on a mission to save the world. Though her lyrics are so inspirational that they can be borderline cheesy at times, the overall message is what is most important and is to do you and don’t worry what anyone else says or thinks. The Most Wanted is definitely worth a listen and an album to look forward to in 2011.
