TeaMarrr Puts Her Own Spin On A ’90s Classic With Her ‘Teacup Commandments’ Performance For ‘UPROXX Sessions’

by

Allow her to reintroduce herself. LA-based, Boston-bred singer/songwriter/rapper TeaMarrr has been building her buzz working behind the scenes and appearing on soundtracks like the one for Rap Sh!. But for her latest UPROXX Sessions performance, the Issa Rae-approved artist wanted to make a statement — and what better way to do that than hijack a ’90s classic for your own freestyle?

That’s exactly what TeaMarrr does with “Teacup Commandments,” repurposing The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 Life After Death standout “Ten Crack Commandments” to declare her rules for life, love, and friendship. An example: “Rule number two, never let them pour for you / Don’t you know bad boys move in silence? They’ll try it.” It’s a departure from what longtime listeners might be used to from the mellow R&B star, but it might just be the perfect way to capture new fans’ attention.

Los Angeles, California, has long since been a mecca of music hopefuls but singer, songwriter, and overall music badass TeaMarrr’s divine abilities hail from Boston by way of Haiti. With songs like “Colors” featuring Wale and “Pipe Dreams” (which was featured on the soundtrack to Issa Rae’s hit series Insecure), the recording artist is craving a lane for herself amongst the sea of musical acts.

Since signing with Issa Rae’s Raedio label, her reach has continued to spread far and beyond any one region. Combining her raw vocal abilities with her clever rap skills wrapped in her spunk personality TeaMarrr is the most promising multi-hyphenated musician based on the west coast. In her single “Stunt Double,” produced by BeWill, all the elements of TeaMarrr’s skill sets shine bright.
