Kamaiyah Is In A Never-Ending Battle Of “Figuring Out Her Emotions” On Her Latest EP

by

After a hectic last couple of years (in a good way), Kamaiyah is keeping the wheels turning in 2024. The prolific Oakland rapper recently wrapped up the Another Summer Night Tour. It was a 20-city trek that revolved around her most recent album of the same name. It was one of two albums in 2023, with THE AM3RICAN DREAM being the other offering. That time around, she linked with Jay Worthy and producer extraordinaire, Harry Fraud. Even though last year was jam-packed, Kamaiyah is making sure to keep chugging along, and she did so by announcing Figuring Out My Emotions just a few days ago.

Part of the reason for this constant influx of projects is so the 2017 XXL Freshman can stay with the times. With the younger generations wanting new things more often, she is making sure she does not get left behind. According to Uproxx, Kamaiyah spoke with KOED about this very trend in modern music. “I don’t want to ever get complacent… because the way the industry is thriving right now is volume. It’s not the ’90s or early 2000s, like, nobody is catching a hit that lasts for a f***ing year anymore,” she expressed.

“People’s attention spans are so short. If you got the attention, keep it. And only way you keep it is more s*** in their face. It’s got to be organic.” She is also delivering on the latter, as this eight-track EP sees the effervescent femcee be more vulnerable and lowkey. Across the tracklist, Kamaiyah discusses the various times at which she has confronted her emotions. Whether it be self-care, romantic interests, or everything in between, she is presenting herself as an open book.

Kamaiyah Reveals Release Date For New Album “Figuring Out My Emotions”

by

Kamaiyah isn’t here to be complacent. The Oakland rapper drops multiple times a year because she wants to hone her craft and ensure that fans are up to date with her life. It’s worked wonders. She’s amassed a loyal fanbase over the last decade, and her last album, Another Summer Night, earned positive reviews from critics. Kamaiyah looks to keep the winning streak going strong with her new album, Figuring Out My Emotions.

Figuring Out My Emotions is a more intimate collection of songs than its predecessor, as the title might suggest. The album is executive produced by Kamaiyah, and the lead single, “No Pressure,” delves into more serious subject matter while maintaining a slick, Bay Area sound. The rapper confirmed the rest of the album will drop on Friday, May 17. She also dropped off the artwork and tracklist. The former is right in line with the chilled-out vibe of the aforementioned single. Kamaiyah lays down on a dock near a body of water. No text or logos. Just an artist and the ocean.

Kamaiyah’s New Album Drops On May 17

The tracklist is impressively brief. Another Summer Night was a sprawling album with 17 songs, but Figuring Out My Emotions comes in at a tight eight. There are no listed features on the album. That being said, rap artists like to hide their features until the fans get a chance to listen. Kamaiyah usually reserves a spot for West Coast peers like 03 Greedo or Jay Worthy (both of whom appeared on Another Summer Night).

Kamaiyah explained her approach to dropping during a recent interview with KQED. “It’s not the ’90s or early 2000s, like, nobody is catching a hit that lasts for a f*cking year anymore,” she asserted. “People’s attention spans are so short. If you got the attention, keep it. And only way you keep it is more sh*t in their face. It’s got to be organic.”

Kamaiyah has been cooking. Today (May 14), the Oakland rapper she is dropping a new album, Figuring Out My Emotions, later this week.

Figuring Out My Emotions appears to be a fairly short album, with only eight tracks — including “No Pressure,” which dropped earlier this month. The album was executive produced by Kamaiyah herself, along with producer Quakebeatz.

Kamaiyah has many projects to her credit, her most recent being 2023’s Another Summer Night. Figuring Out My Emotions arrives just six months after Another Summer Night, but maintaining a consistent output has always been part of her plan.

In an interview with KQED, Kamaiyah said she is moving in the ways the industry is evolving.

“I don’t want to ever get complacent … because the way the industry is thriving right now is volume,” said Kamaiyah. “It’s not the ’90s or early 2000s, like, nobody is catching a hit that lasts for a fucking year anymore. People’s attention spans are so short. If you got the attention, keep it. And only way you keep it is more shit in their face. It’s got to be organic.”

Jay Worthy Links With Kamaiyah And Producer Harry Fraud For “THE AM3RICAN DREAM”

by

Jay Worthy, Kamaiyah, and Harry Fraud are back once again, but this time it is for something bigger. That something is the collaborative album that sees all three of them combine their talents effortlessly. The tape, THE AM3RICAN DREAM, features nine tracks, including production all from Harry Fraud. All three headlining artists are not alone on this journey, though.

There is plenty of extra star power throughout the tracklist. You will see appearances from Guapdad 4000, Buddy, Max B, Ty Dolla $ign, DRAM, and more. Most of the beats here are very boom-bap-heavy and are buttery smooth. It contrasts well with Worthy and Kamaiyah’s sometimes grimy lyrics. Before this project’s release, we only had one single in promotion for it.
