WHAT IT IS: Boasting a versatile sound that bridges the gap between R&B and hard-hitting bars, Lakeyah is representing both the Midwest and Atlanta. Highlighting her lyrical chops and songwriting prowess, Lakeyah rose to the spotlight with her 2019 remix of City Girls’ “First Day Out.” Following her 2020 Quality Control debut, Times Up, the Milwaukee-born singer/rapper dropped her newest project, In Due Time, on 4/9. The 12-track set showcases her unmatched range, lyrical skills, powerful delivery and swoon-worthy R&B vocals. With new visuals coming in support of tracks like “Easy,” “Poppin” f/Gucci Mane and “Perfect” f/Yung Bleu, the album establishes Lakeyah as an up-and-coming rapper to watch.
