🎵 kamilalyciaa talks music and manifestation with friend and artist JaefKae.
I would say Vybz Kartel, Mos Def, and Lauryn Hill. I love her, by the way—she doesn’t put up with no BS from anybody. André 3000, Erykah Badu, Harmonize. Those are just on top right now. Because you know what? I’m influenced by so much because I like listening to good music.You just dropped your seventh studio album,Honestly, I’m feeling great. The albums beforehand all have central themes, but they were more of compilations, besidessince last year.
JaefKae performs on the livestream of Bluefecta, a 2020 fundraising event for get-out-the-vote efforts in Michigan and Wisconsin.You produced seven out of 12 tracks on the album. Did you feel nervous at all before the release, knowing that so much of this album is coming directly from your hands? I’ve had this idea for about three years now. This is an exclusive about kongri, because nobody has come up with it but me! So congri is a dish from Cuba—it’s made around the Caribbean, but it originated in Cuba. It’s a mixture of black beans and white rice. Not a mixture like once both are finished you put it together, but you put everything in a pot and it’s mixed that way.
For people who maybe don’t feel like they could have those same visions, “Malanga” is telling you that you can. “Anything I need, guaranteed / No wait for the ripe, my green yellow banana.” What that means is if I have the fruit already, and it’s the fruit of my labor, I don’t need to wait for it to ripen. I just need to open it, enjoy it, and go as far as I can.
At the same time, the way I go about it is the way I want people to go about it in their everyday life. All of these songs are still tied back to Black liberation, to the plight of Black people and African-descended people in America and the Caribbean.
