Known for her no–holds barred lyrics and straight talking, whether it’s on or off the mic, Ray BLK (real name Rita Ekwere) is going to speak her mind. “I always have to get everything off my chest,” says singer–songwriter. “As an artist and somebody who’s been blessed with a platform, I feel like it is part of my responsibility.”

The 26 year old artist is celebrated for music that makes a statement and her new album is no different. The ultimate girl’s girl is back with an offering packed with girl power bops that deliver a message of tough love, a catalogue of quotables and a renewed focus on self love. The outcome is the musical equivalent of the unfiltered girl talk from your most raucous Whatsapp group chat.
