Bahamadia - Rugged Off

All bow down to the not so well known queen of Hip Hop, Bahamadia. Comparible to Digable Planets (who need to release another album soon thank you), Bahamadia has a lot to say and moves my butt to boot. Since Kollage (the album from which this track is pulled, Bahamadia has collaborated with a number of artists for both hip-hop and cross-genre tracks. Along the way, she worked with the likes of The Roots, The Herbaliser, Sweetback, and Morcheeba. Such collaborations widened Bahamadia's creative scope.

As Bahamadia breaks down the science behind her lyric writing, she elicits, "I'm more attentive to what I create because I have to research and actually live the experiences and then I can filter, take my time, sit back and write the songs."
