Daaaammmnn! Y’all heard bout Felly? Hot, female rapper/ singer/ writer on the Gh Block!
I heard her single, “Naughty Gurl” and it was as though someone had glued my feet to the beat she had my hips and legs moving to. The song is infused with some kind of urgency for some dangerously exciting hanky-panky, if you know what I mean! Rapping the whole song in whisper, Felly’s lyrics are tight with rhyme and rhythm in the right place, injected with an incredible amount of sexual innuendo that would definitely make even black skin blush purple (pink is pushing it a bit far), Felly comes across on this track as the irresistible Femme Fatale. Just listen to these words, “I come in different flavours/ Take what you want boy…back to back/ you know I like it like that”
Her other single “Follow me” brings dancehall and pop together, throws Felly in yet another madly interesting light. What you hear is the femme fatale become the hard female gangster, shouting orders for her audience to “Follow me”, like she says, “Felly no be rookie”. The “Rap Queen of Accra” she orders, she stamps, she winds, she intrigues, she hypnotizes. Before you realized, you would be dancing to her magic rhythms, completely losing track of where you are till the song ends! Featuring E.L, this track is definitely club banger.
“Make it work”, featuring Bertha, gives us an almost surprising image of a mellow, but still confident Felly. Doused in the complexities of a relationship hanging on a thin rope, Felly, with Bertha’s incredible voice in the chorus, speaks sotto voce about the importance of working on a broken relationship. “let’s do a surgery on us/dissect every problem and work it out/ ‘cos that’s what relationship’s about boy/ reminisce those times/when I dey write rhymes/you inspire my lyrics/ now you want to leave/But what we had/was chemistry and physics”. With Bertha on the hook, this song is madly emotional, but inspiring at the same time.
What makes Felly the real deal is that she writes her own lyrics, a near rarity to find these days! Her immense creativity spills over into her songs, her lyrics and interests. An amazingly bubbly personality, Felly is the kind of girl who knows everyone, the life of the party, and her own taste in music goes beyond the average to classy, elements that would inevitably be embedded in her own music.
Would be releasing these singles out soon, so watch out, and tell me what you think!
