The Boston-born and Los Angeles-based Haitian-American songstress truly broke through in 2018 with the hit single, “One Job,” scoring over 1.2 million streams and the attention of Raedio founder Issa Rae, who soon signed her. The track is joined by an official companion video, directed by James Bland. Host: Angelica Music by: Sammus Edited by: Jamie Broadnax
