Song of the Day: Funk With Me – Omega B

Omega Today’s song is Funk With Me by Alabama-born singer/songwriter/emcee OMEGA B. This track is coming from her second album Soldier of Love, released earlier this year.

At the age of seven, she made her stage debut as lead guitarist with  Blues Camp Kid and went on to travel across the southern state with the blues group as lead vocalist as well as lead guitarist. Despite her impressive early career, her greatest moment was sharing the stage with B.B. KING.

Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists: KRS-ONE, SADE,  ERYKAH BADU, TRIBE CALLED QUEST, QUEEN LATIFAH , BOB MARLEY, and OUKAST, the female emcee continue to grow as a guitar player and singer. There’s on end to this girl’s talents – she’s also  a poet, activist, producer, disc jockey, and a painter. Man, where does she find the time to make this video! Take a listen to the seriously funky. Funk With Me.

Star Song: Hawaiian Thought$ – IMNAMEDKYRA

Kyra Hawaiian nightsFirst of all, I have to say that this is one HOT chick! Let me introduce you to IMNAMEDKYRA – a Maryland –native female rapper (who you should sit up and take notice of) – and her latest single Hawaiian Thought$. This track just displays the extraordinary talent of this promising artist. Hawaiian Thought$ is definitely a standout production as it begins with chopped up beats (which sounds like a stuck CD) and then you’re introduced to IMNAMEDKYRA’S freestyling which effortlessly cruises throughout the chill out track – absolutely wicked!

Heavily influenced by A TRIBE CALLED QUEST and CURREN$Y, IMNAMEDKYRA – whose real name is Akyra Hedgman – was part of a Pittsburgh-based group called THE H&T. Now residing in Atlanta, IMNAMEDKYRA is now looking to expand as a solo hip-hop artist. She’s planning to release her mixtape, The Drive very soon – so keep your eyes peeled for a review!

Go on, have a listen to Hawaiian Thought$. If you’re really loving this sound, head over to SoundCloud where you can listen to more of IMNAMEDKYRA’S tracks. Before I sign off, may I recommend one more track Geronimo? Man, it’s too good for words!
