<b>K.Flay</b> is a one-woman whirlwind: whether she’s creating beats, singing, rapping or playing guitar, her intelligence and acerbic charm shine through. 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. <b>
K. Flay </b>has a new self-produced release coming down the pipe this month entitled
<b><i>Eyes Shut</i></b>. A Chicago-native turned Stanford student, turned full time Brooklynite, she puts all her life experience, sarcasm, gripes, and humor into every meticulously crafted verse. Her first single,
<b>“We Hate Everyone” </b>came out just in time for the holidays to serve as the anti-Christmas carol with its clever, stinging chorus and churning verses . Tracks like
<b>“Sunburn” </b>and <b>“Stop Focus” </b>are windows down, sunglasses on jams showcasing her ultra-fast rapping ability and her brilliant lyrical prowess.
<b>K. Flay </b>truly establishes herself in a class of her own with this remarkably on point collection. Check out her track
