Kayla AK is here to take what is rightfully hers. The Sacramento-born rapper is not only influenced by the greats, but with her latest single “i got it,” she makes a brash, unapologetic declaration that she’s part of West Coast rap’s next wave. Consumed with an early diet of Tupac, DMX, and N.W.A. booming out of her father’s car speakers, Kayla’s passion for rap was embedded long before she ever wrote her first verse. That legacy is still kicking in “i got it.” The track seems to be conversing with the raw honesty and unapologetic swagger of those eight greats, but this time, it has a fresh voice that refuses to be boxed.
The beat drops, and Kayla rides it with the precision of a razor. Her flow is fierce if relentless, but it’s also measured and aimed, one bar after the next with purpose and laced with determination and the kind of slick confidence you can’t fake. She doesn’t stumble. She doesn’t hesitate. This is an artist who knows exactly who she is and what she’s worth. The single “i got it” is an announcement of identity. You can hear Sacramento in her tone, legacy in her delivery, and hunger in her cadence. Kayla is living it, reminding us that power is not given, it’s taken.
As the beat slaps and the hook hits, Kayla’s realness helps the record stick. No filter, no fluff, just a mic, a beat, and bars that speak for themselves. “i got it” is a brash reminder to herself and the rap game at large that she was made for this.
