#NewMusic, K. Michelle – Kim K

K. Michelle has released another single from her upcoming album “Kimberly: The People I Used To Know.” K’s song “Kim K” samples Tupac’s “I Ain’t Mad At Cha,” and she touches on an issue in the black community. How we as black people do things and we’re ghetto and ratchet, but non blacks do it (Kardashians) do it, and they prefer it done by them. Now, I won’t do a think piece on the break down of the song, but K’s song “Kim K” is a short song about what she has been saying about how people perceive her, and have a problem with her; yet don’t have a problem with it coming from another person. Listen to the song below.

K. Michelle has already released “Birthday,” “Either Way,” and “Make This Song Cry.” “Kimberly: The People I Used To Know” will be released next Friday, December 8th, 2017.
