Zana Ray Artist To Watch: Lyrica- "Double Life"

Check out music from New York FemCee Lyrica. "Double Life' is a song that tells a story of making the sacrifice of leaving love and relationships behind for a special dream/goal spun with the concept of a cheating spouse. It is produced and engineered by Kraze World Ent.

In an era where the essence of Hip Hop, lyrics, is non expectant regarding female artists, the story of the 26-year old Long Island, NY native Lyrica (born Shaakira Calnick) is a reassuring source that females can compete lyrically with her male counterparts in the hip hop industry without using sex as a selling point. The lyricist has only begun to scratch the surface of her lyrical ability as heard in her debut mixtape, RealityVsDreams.

RealityVsDreams is the epitome of her mentality for the last year, battling the desire to follow her dreams or live up to society’s standards of success. Lyrica shows off her lyrical depth as well as her versatility as a hip hop artist. Her music has influences from all genres of music while the production flows together smoothly with an energetic feel that is easily identifiable as hip hop. From the business man to the college student to the street smart, her music can identify with every type of person. 

Lyrica, surrounded by creativity and music in her family, was a poetry writer in her youth on into her college years. It is in her sophomore year of college when her boyfriend at the time suggested she write songs to her brother's beats. Her first song ever written and recorded, "Dedicated" has yet to see the light of day but that may change with her second project, “Done Dreamin" set to release in January 2015.
