After steadily building a buzz over the last few years, Calgary’s Tea Fannie finally blesses us with her debut album, It’s All Love. The 13-track collection highlights her lyrical dexterity and uncanny confidence on the mic.
Toronto vocalist Ice Tha One appears five times and shines all over this project, which is evidence that Tea Fannie has no problem sharing the spotlight. “Rap Again” stands out as one of the best Canadian posse cuts of the year. This album is a must-listen for any hip-hop fan.
