Rapper on the Rise Vaygez Blakk
On February 10th, there was a shift in Hip Hop. The bar heavy project of Vaygez Blakk titled “Bar Queen” was released on all streaming platforms. Vaygez is a Harlem bred Female MC. The difference between Blakk and other female MCs of this era and some of the past is that, even though she is easy on the eyes, she doesn’t use or misuse her assets to get attention in the music game. She bodies a few stages “I personally witnessed “ she’s been cipher tested a few times once on shade 45’s Lord Sear Show amongst some other heavy spitters and not only did she hold her own but she shined like the diamond she is.
Her voice is distinct, not as heavy as Foxy Brown but not as light as Nicki Minaj but believe she has the versatility and skill to be mentioned with these two Female MCs known to spit heavy bars within this male dominated sport. Her project showcases her ability to rap. Bar Queen is constructed of ten songs with only one feature which is totally unheard of now of days where Artists have co signs and featured heavy projects to try and get other artists’ fan base to ride the wave. However Vaygez opted to keep the ball in a Mamba Mentality. She didn’t disappoint, this project was equal to Kobe rookie season where he exceeded expectations but you knew there was more untapped potential.
Vaygez Blakk starts off with Say Dat which sets the tone for the entire project. As the project moves forward you can begin to get lost in her wordplay and that slick Harlem talk all Harlemites are known for. There is truthfully not one “wack” song on Bar Queen and I’m sure as you take a listen in your AirPods or you blast it from your vehicle’s speakers you’ll find a favorite or two.
As I zoned out twice to the entire album, once from start to finish and secondly on shuffle as i do to get a real feel for the work. I found myself replaying Chikko, In The Zone and Everything. If there is one caveat of the project it is more leaning towards my personal preference of wanting to hear her put together a few more concept guided songs, however I’m sure she has those in her bag. I recommend this project, so do yourself a favor and stream or download BAR QUEEN from VAYGEZ BLAKK, you won’t be disappointed.
