They say that some of the best things take time, and that is true for one fast-rising rap and R&B sensation, Yayizzy, from the bustling music scene of Brooklyn, New York. Her spotlight-stealing appearance is equally matched by her singing and rapping prowess, with many music fans quick to acclaim her and even confess that she embodies authentic rap and is helping bring back the original sound while shaping a new distinctive sonic identity that continues inspiring other female artists like her. With every new release, she is indeed proving that Black women can be commercially viable in an industry that has traditionally said otherwise.
The song “She Ain’t Me” is really the kind of music that was just meant to be. Initially, the song was supposed to be part of her EP “Heartsore” which is available for streaming everywhere, but she decided to release it as a solo, complete with an accompanying music video, and fascinatingly, it has been positively received, with her diehard fans as well as new listeners appreciating the versatile directions she goes with this one.
To paint it out for you, “She Ain’t Me” is the sort of jam that feels nostalgic thanks to its striking R&B soundscape that provides a mellow foundation for Yayizzy’s distinct vocals as she showcases such an impressive rap cadence over the mellifluent production, comfortably leaning towards the singable element of the tune with the infectious hook to give it a memorable appeal.
For anyone who has grown through the 90s and early 00s generation, then you cannot miss that haunting influence with this jam, and Yayizzy feels very comfortable and right at home with her top-notch delivery.
To top the performance off is, of course, the visually striking music video that is an extension of the music itself, capturing the inspiration behind it intriguingly and elevating the song to newer heights…it is as if the visuals and lyrics are speaking the same language!
When you look at Yayizzy, it’s a no brainer that she’s got it all—the beauty, the elegance, the confidence, the talent…to have her is akin to striking gold, and there can be no one else like her. So to say, she is making it clear to her man that she is the real deal and that he won’t find whatever it is he is sneaking around looking for, period!
