Kari Faux: Cry 4 Help
If you don’t know the name Kari Faux you have been sleeping under a rock! Her new EP, Cry 4 Help will take you through all the feels good and bad. But most importantly will remind you to put yourself first!
Known for her track No Small Talk ( Insecure Soundtrack and remixed by Childish Gambino) Kari has shown her skills once again with this EP. I hate to compare artist so I won’t, but her vibe definitely reminds me of the likes of Tierra Whack, Rico Nasty and Rapsody. Powerful outspoken Black Women that refuse to be put into a box with their music and style.
In The Air: a breezy chill track that you can definitely blaze and vibe too. “So high so high, so high. I think I caught a nosebleed from the elevation.”
Leave Me Alone: Just what the title says, Kari ain’t got no time for busted niggas. “Don’t hit my line, don’t call my phone.” Kari talks about being too busy for anyone to wasted her time or energy.
Night Time: Smooth vibes, sultry lyrics “ I know that you gone wanna fuck and smoke, sip the drank, pop the pill, then puff some mo.”
Latch Key: Honestly my favorite track and the most serious one as well. Kari talks of possible rape by her boyfriend, a miscarriage and learning from the past and looking into her future now within her career. “Peel back the layers of trauma like a fuckin banana, I when you tried to make me your baby mama.” This track beat‘s are darker, sets up a scene in your mind as you listen to the lyrics.
