Maybe you guys remember me mentioning Kenika in the past or putting up the video of her SXSW performance. Well I’ve not had in my hands for a minute her new mixtape ‘The Diary of a Hood Chick’ and if you’re on some other sh!t about female rappers then you need to hear it.

I’ll admit to you that Im not the biggest fan of most female rappers but Kenika she shows alot more than most women do on the mic, lyrically and with some depth. She’s not just a booty dropping bopper from the H who has some sex rhymes, she’s a real chick, a hood chick and she’s got rhymes about things from her point of view, street life, family, love and the trials and tribulations of living.

Im going to tell you this is a mixtape I’ve listened to several times and I know she’s grinding hard to do her thing and get that shine so Im going to do my best to help her because she’s deserving. So let me break it down and let me give you all the link to cop it for yourself, and drop her a message, tell her you read about it on here or my GrippinGrain site and show a real true representer of the H some love. There’s hardly a track that I didnt like on here but once you get a copy check out these, and even the intro is hot.

Track 2 ‘Come Harder’ real nice to start off her introduction to the people.
Track 7 ‘Kiss My Ass’ now thats the kind of track I can feel.
Track 8 ‘Who Got Tha’ club type track, see a hater point’em out!
Track 10 ‘Way Back’ the ladies will love this one, but the guys can hear the flow and laugh at what she’s got to say cause its real.
Thats just a few, you’ll also want to check out track 13,14 and 18, but Im sure there will be more that you can feel.

Stay tuned because I’m going to get an audio interview with Kenika up on my site and give you the 411 on that real soon. I’ve talked with Kenika and she’s 100% real and down to earth, so get in and support real artists! So click her myspace and buy the mixtape and listen to some of the tracks! Track 2,7,8 and 10 are in the sidebar for you to check out on GrippinGrain!
