Who Is Rebellious Soul By K. Michelle?
“I want to make great music that will around forever,” says R&B artist K. Michelle. Michelle, born in Memphis, Tennessee started her music career at the age of nine, while also practicing ballet and piano. At the age of twenty-two, she released her first album,” Rebellious Soul” and later her second album, “anybody want to buy a heart?” K. Michelle has been known to be raw, blunt, and rough around the edges, her music speaks for many women that can relate to a lot she has to say. Because of her passion and lyrics, I think K. Michelle’s music is something women can look forward to when their own words fail, and the strongest evidence for this is the many years I have been a fan of hers and listening to her music. In 2008 K. Michelle began releasing her music, she signed to a record company by the name of …show more content…
Michelle’s first full length album, Rebellious Soul, reached number one on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop albums. This album shows that Kayla is feisty and doesn’t take any drama from anyone. But also she expresses the heartache she feels after a break up. Her song “VSOP” blasted on every R&B radio station around the country for weeks, “I couldn’t believe it, as an artist I am supposed to be accustomed to hearing my music on the radio, but hearing what people had to say about my music was an amazing feeling, my goal had been completed with this album and it was time to start my next project.” Another song, Can’t Raise a Man, from her first album also did numbers, fans says this song really spoke to them. K. Michelle sings about how a woman can’t raise her man, if he isn’t a gentleman, she can’t be with him. After releasing this album, Michelle took a break from her music talents and wanted to show her fans how she lives her everyday life on the hit reality show Love & Hip HOP: Atlanta. After four seasons of being on the reality show, she started her own show, “K. Michelle My Life.” While preparing for her show, Kayla began to release her second

    Set in the “Booga Basement,” Praz, Wyclef Jean, and Lauryn Hill took the 1990s by storm. The group was composed of three multitalented MCs. One in particular, Lauryn Hill, found major success as an actress in the film Sister Act II and solo prestige in her critically acclaimed “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” album. I have spent the majority of my life listening to hip-hop, so it was hard to narrow down to this song. Nonetheless, “Vocab” provides an interesting look at hip-hop. This is 1994 and hip-hop is beginning to take a prominent role in the mainstream media. When we think about gender equality in hip-hop, it is fair to say that Lauryn Hill more than holds her own. In this essay, I hope to further develop the importance of this group dynamic to hip-hop at the time and breakdown some unique hip-hop elements in the song itself.…

At the Address to the First Annual Meeting of the American Equal Rights Association on May 9, 1867 she declared "I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring I will step into the pool" (Archives). To request equivalent rights among the races was unheard of and sufficiently horrendous to numerous, yet to request racial and sexual equity was basically…
