If you’ve ever found yourself putting Jay Z’s Empire State of Mind on constant repeat as you prepare to take on the world, or receiving a much-needed pep-talk from the hook on Nas’ I Know I Can, or maybe you even found yourself whynin’ and wukin’ up your waist during Carnival in 2015 to the hit song Party Done.
Then, you can go ahead and thank the beautifully talented Angela Hunte for, literally and figuratively, being an influential voice in making some of your favorite pop, hip hop, rap, RnB, and Soca songs happen.
On Thursday night, the singer, songwriter held a performance at the Highline Ball room in New York City to preview her upcoming EP. The evening was presented by The Hunted Group, W&R Projects and DJ Buddha’s Therapist Music. Jerry Wonda’s band supported Angela and Ebro hosted.
Our very own OJ Williams got to sit down with Trinidadian songstress for a brand new episode of The Kraft. Williams talked to Hunte about her current and future work, biggest influences, the creative process, and why she wants the world to know you can “never” be her.
