Forever, Ya Girl, the debut album by our Issue 117 cover star KeiyaA, is a patchwork of samples and references. From the work of spoken word artist and activist Jayne Cortez to a snippet from a Chappelle’s Show skit, it’s a rich, imaginative tapestry.
Fitting then that, for KeiyaA, one of the “greatest artists who ever lived” is MF DOOM, a rapper and storyteller whose labyrinthine lyrics, adventurous flow patterns and collage approach to music-making always seemed completely boundless.
To celebrate the work of an artist who has had such a foundational influence on her artistry, KeiyaA has stitched together this special mix. Weaving personal favourites, new edits and reference tracks together into a vivid tribute to one of the greatest of all time.
Play this loud. All caps.
