<b>Liam Howlett</b> of The Prodigy), <b><i>Eyes Shut</i></b>, is coming down the pipe in early 2012. The Chicago-native turned Stanford student, turned full time Brooklynite, puts all her life experience, sarcasm, gripes, and humor into every meticulously crafted
verse. <i><a href="http://www.luckymag.com/blogs/luckyrightnow/2011/12/K-FLAYS-TOP-5-KICKS">Lucky Magazine
<span style="font-style:normal">online</span></a> </i>says, “Her sound melds classic hip-hop beats and rapid-fire lyrics with guitar chords and her own ‘special something.’” Her talents have led her to share the stage with artists including Snoop Dogg, Ludacris,
and 3OH!3, where she quickly won over audiences who hadn’t seen anything quite like her before.
