New Orleans own Nola Look Alive (Look Ali) is storming the underground rap game with her mixtape Look at What You Made Me Do. Look Ali describes herself as a "radical revolutionary" she has also described her music as "deep and dope." Ali is inspired by greats like MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Jay-z, Kanye, etc. She also has a budding acting career as Rae the delicious stud on Between Women, an up and coming independent drama series. Her music is reminiscent of a time where hip hop was more about the messsage and less about bitches, hoes, and clothes. While her style may not be anything close to the style of rap you hear on the radio now, it is refreshing. Constatntly hearing about fat asses, hoe begahvior, and people buying a whole bunch of shit normal people can't afford becomes tiring. Also, the fact that she is a female rapper who doesn't feel the need to change their image to appeal to the masses (i.e Young Gattaz) makes us happy. That's enough of the small talk, take a listen to the mixtape yourself. Enjoy.
