The title of Sinzere’s latest project comes from the Latin phrase meaning “blank slate,” and the hip-hop firecracker from Calgary’s subject matter finds her wanting to start society over and rebuild the systems from the top down.
One of the most direct lyricists working today when it comes to discussing the horrors of systemic racism and discrimination, Sinzere blends an educational angle with party-starting hooks – a combination that was inspired by her love for NWA. This should be your go-to destination for some of the year’s hardest-hitting rap tracks.
