ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Ayah - The Problem Woman Mixtape

“In a day when alot of people are looking for a light in the music tunnel… one shines really bright… Ayah has given me new found faith that soul music is very much alive… ” DJ Jazzy Jeff

Mixing jazz influenced vocal inflections with hip-hop swagger and b-girl next door charm, Toronto songstress Ayah delivers an infectious summer mixtape that, if heard by enough ears, should put her on the radar of hip-hop heads and R&B fly girls alike. Serving as a prelude to her upcoming album, The Problem Woman Mixtape successfully introduces listeners to Ayah as an artist and a person, giving us a bounty of breezy, summer gems to heat up our pool side playlists, as well as some intimate insights into where she came from, and where she hopes to go via her music.

My Personal Picks.
Real Woman
I Reminisce
Fallen

BUMP OR DUMP?
Bump it. If Jazzy Jeff can co-sign for her, you know she's spottie-ottie dopalicious. Do yourself a favor and download this to hear Toronto’s best kept secret. Although once you listen, it wont be a secret anymore.

Tracklisting and joints after the jump.
