Trap but with 90's Nostalgia
Hip-hop artist Nana Bangz is making waves with her ability to blend styles reminiscent of 90's rap with a touch of modern flair. Starting her career in 2018 with a strong style and excellent lyrical proficiency, Nana Bangz has since released over 15 tracks showcasing her versatility.
Her first track of 2024, "Alive," features a blend of smooth verses and fast-paced lyrics, backed up by a unique production with a classical string sample floating over the beat. A video of her street performance in New Orleans has surfaced, highlighting Nana's passion for music and performance skills, proving her not just a studio artist but also a captivating live performer.
The Mr. Monkey Wrench's Hot Take
In a music world often drowned in auto-tune and mumble rapping, Nana Bangz comes out swinging like a breath of fresh air (no pun intended). With her raw lyrical talent, undiluted passion, and a style that channels the best parts of 90's rap, she represents the hope of what hip-hop could be again.
Her song "Alive" is a living testament to her ability to adapt diverse verse styles, reminiscent of rap veterans like Foxy Brown. Not just hiding behind snazzy music videos, Nana shows us on the streets of New Orleans that she's the real deal who can nail a live performance with nothing more than a drummer for support. Nana Bangz is proof that talent doesn't need glossy covers; it shines wherever it goes.
