#NewMusic, Remy Ma – Melanin Magic (Feat. Chris Brown)

As a fan of the melanin magic movement and everything pro-black, I love the concept. As a Remy Ma fan, Im dissapointed.I love Remy’s rap style, but for this Mint Edition sample of “Pretty Brown Eyes,” the style feels like it should’ve been smoother and softer. Beautiful cover art, beautiful song title, it just seems to me it didn’t transition fully.

“Melanin Magic” is the second single off Remy’s upcoming album “7 Winters & 6 Summers,” and features Chris Brown. Her first single was “Wake Me Up,” featuring Lil’ Kim. 

[Verse 1: Remy Ma]
“I got that up north glow, body lookin’ like cinnamon/ I’m runnin’ shit right now, I think I pulled a ligament/ Fashion killa, Alaïa assassin/ Vetements villain, Balenciaga bastard/ I got that melanin magic, brown skin poppin’/ Always fly, I stay in a cockpit/ I want it, I cop it/ Opened the door, then locked it/ Every time Remy touch the city, stop it”

Listen to the track below, and comment. Is it a hit or miss?
