We are currently in a Renaissance for female MCs as we watch the art form of rap transform and diversify, showcasing there truly is space for fresh voices at the table and in the booth. Newcomer Milanalamala is far from a stranger to the industry, yet tackles the world of music with a new lens. Her first official single, “OohAhh” is a testament not only to her resilience but that she's coming in fully blazing!
This electric anthem plays perfectly within the intersection of every facet that is Milanalamala. The video amplifies the flashy and sunny deposition of Los Angeles, yet infuses the Saddle Ranch to reiterate her Texas roots. Visually she takes us into her luxurious world and introduces us to the baddies she runs sh*t with!
However, the track is infectious while her vocals ride the beat steadily to drive every listener into submission. She even takes a moment to tease that “chopped n screwed” twang on the second verse to drill in that Houston flavor. An instant club banger, “OohAhh” is a fun, musical gem planting Milanalamala as an artist to definitely watch!
