Music Review

Kollage (1996)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Bahamadia; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Discovered by Gang Starr, Philadelphia's finest female rapper Bahamadia has a deceptively relaxed style — matched by understated, atmospheric backing tracks on Kollage — that belies the sharpness of her writing. Her restrained, low-key confidence makes some of rap's ranters and ravers seem uncool by comparison.
