783) R.A.E - Damn Jermaine

Southeast Londoner Rachel Oluyitan, mostly known as Rising Above Everything or R.A.E, oozes stylish '90s swagger on this sweet, upbeat hip-hop jam. Influenced strongly by artists she grew up listening to, namely Left Eye and MC Lyte, she has a not-to-be-messed-with kind of badass vibe that we've missed in recent years in music. The loop that makes up the instrumental track reminds us of classics like Skee-Lo's "I Wish", and so do the humorous lyrics, shaming a guy named Jermaine for his infidelity and smooth-talker attitude. With an adorable old-school music video and heaps of confidence and sass, this track is one we can see going down in history as a rap classic. We generally view R.A.E as a star on the rise and are sure that this isn't the last we're going to hear from her.
Enjoy! ♪
