Brooklyn’s rap scene has a new contender for the throne, and her name is BreezyLYN. With her latest EP, ‘Hood Mona Lisa,’ she’s not just making music; she’s paying homage to the legends who came before her, none other than the one and only JAY-Z.
From the moment you hit play, you’re transported to the streets of Brooklyn, where every corner has a story to tell. The EP opens with a tribute to JAY-Z, narrated by Pain In Da Ass, a voice synonymous with the golden age of hip-hop. His words set the stage for BreezyLYN’s lyrical prowess, painting a picture of a modern-day Mona Lisa, a masterpiece in her own right.
As the beats drop and the rhymes flow, it’s clear that BreezyLYN is a force to be reckoned with. Her flow is smooth, her lyrics poignant, and her energy infectious. With each track, she invites you into her world, sharing her experiences, struggles, and triumphs with raw honesty and authenticity.
But ‘Hood Mona Lisa’ isn’t just about BreezyLYN; it’s also a love letter to Brooklyn, the city that raised her and the birthplace of hip-hop. Last year, JAY-Z’s lyrics adorned the Brooklyn Public Library as part of ‘The Book of HOV’ exhibit, a testament to his enduring legacy. With this EP, BreezyLYN continues that legacy, paying tribute to the icons who paved the way for artists like her.
And it’s not just about the music; it’s about the community that supports it. Questlove’s recent visit to the exhibit is proof that Brooklyn’s hip-hop legacy is alive and well, inspiring artists and fans alike to keep the spirit alive.
So whether you’re a die-hard fan of JAY-Z or just discovering BreezyLYN for the first time, ‘Hood Mona Lisa’ is an EP that demands your attention. It’s a celebration of Brooklyn’s past, present, and future, told through the universal language of hip-hop. So don’t just listen; immerse yourself in the story of ‘Hood Mona Lisa’ and experience the magic of Brooklyn hip-hop firsthand.
