N'shai Iman [2022] - Reasons (To Be Me) [Self Released]

N'shai Iman (Imani McCullough) is from Bowling Green, OH, and released her first single "Do Not Disturb" in 2019.

She is just 22 and states that her influences are H.E.R, Syd, Victoria Monét, and Summer Walker which should give you an indication of what to expect from her material. Her latest single "Reasons (To Be Me)" was released on 8 Apr. The Spotify version is explicit but there is a cleaned up Radio Edit available (link on image). 

I love this song as it's an example of the 'good' kind of rap and contemporary soul. The change in key at 1:26 is brilliant! It was a smart move to record a clean version so that it can get radio exposure. Radio jocks 'get to know' and get behind this as, for me, it's one of the best of it's kind around.
