Canadian hip-hop artist Naya Ali is on the verge of unveiling her new album Godspeed:Elevated, but in the meantime, she shares this new single "Str8 Up" to warm her fans up to the new release. The track has a bouncy and moody trap aesthetic that has three distinct parts all while showcasing Ali's masterful songwriting capabilities. The verses see her in her element as she details the obstacles and hurdles she had to overcome as a young black woman in the music industry. Armed with fiery flows and a dynamic cadence to match, Ali shows her resilience as one who is fully focused on her goals. The refrain section lowers the energy and here Ali delivers a melodic performance filled with emotions and an honest look at her current reality. Once again, Ali flips the script with a hi-octane chorus to complete her mission.
"Str8 Up" serves as the final single before she drops her album on the 3rd of September. It's a natural follow-up to her previous single "Another One."
Naya Ali is a Montreal-based, Ethiopia-raised artist who fuses rap/hip-hop, R&B/soul elements with her African roots. Her previous release includes her debut Higher Self EP and a slew of singles.
