Nello Luchi steps out for her borough on her new single “Bed Stuy Fly”

Brooklyn-raised emcee Nello Luchi has always displayed the gift of gab and as a true student of the game, she values the power of lyricism over the unnecessary glitz. I must say, it's been a while since we heard from her till she hit us up with her new jam "Bed Stuy Fly". The aptly titled single sees her representing her borough to the fullest and reminding us that she never left. Her pen is still sharp as ever as she effortlessly glides over the moody backdrop made up of haunting keys and airy strings. Far from rhyming for the sake of it, Nello puts emotions into the lines with a lot of personal insight and bravado. Lines like "Duality of life I'd rather put on the leather but it gotta be vegan, I don't beef with the extra, natural born flexer" and "Ran with Bad Boys, comb through them like the Bethas, yeah I'm on this beat like mustard, better catch-up" explore her tastes and firm demeanour as a lady who can rock with the men.

In a world where female emcees are more notorious for their asses than their assets, Nello Luchi represents bars of substance for those who crave a more original and dynamic flavour of hip-hop, regardless of their gender.
