Emcee on the Rise

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Emmerging from the talented life-spring of Los Angeleno hip-hop artists is the Hawaiian born lyricist NEILA (Pronounced: Nay-La). In the midst of a culture clearly dominated by patriarchal poetry stands a female who is confident with her intensely personal lyrical content and straight up storytelling abilities. Her second full length album, "For Whom the Bells Crow"is a testament to NEILA'S ability to run with the best of them as all of the tracks tracks meld into one anticipatory breath that will definitely stand as a solid starting point for a career that is sure to become extremely prolific. Listening to this album will have even the most hardened critic's finger stuck on the repeat button."
