Nitty Scott- Creature! A- 93

creature

Nitty Scott has been around the world literally. Born in Grand Rapids, MI. Raised in Orlando, FL and moved to Brooklyn, NY to pursue rap. Shit is crazy to have all that culture already. And being black and latina helps to make her flow unique and practically untouchable. In my opinion I feel talent wise she’s the best female MC in rap minus popularity, record sales, and accolades. However, she’s blessed us with multiple projects her EP “The Boombox Chronicles” which contained the single “Flower Child” with Kendrick Lamar which the video was in MTV’s rotation and her debut album in 2014 “The Art Of Chill” which displayed more of a hip hop and Jazzy tone with her rapid fire rhymes and gripping storytelling however with Creature she takes a way left turn to see where she fits in the current space of hip hop.

“Coquí Song”

One theme of previous Nitty Scott projects is she always had multiple spoken word interludes of gems and knowledge. She executes well.
“La Diaspora (feat. Zap Mama)”

This track is true to Latina roots. This is kind of hip hop esque I don’t know if I would have started the album that way but this track is tight. The hook is cool with the Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop sample. Nitty coasts through with sharp verses. This reminds me of an Island running around the jungle with kids type vibe and shit.

“Creature!”

This song is dope as fuck. I wish this would have been longer she would have bodied this. One verse is not enough for this shit. Feels more like an interlude to me. But this is still a good ass song.

“Pxssy Powah!”

This a club record right here. Girls gonna shake that ass to this shit at the right club. I like this shit. She showcases her flow on this one.

“Negrita”

I heard this song towards the end of 2015. I’m happy this song made it. This shit is really laid back then transitions into a more trap song. But she channels her inner Missy Elliott on this song. The 1st beat is kind of Timbaland-ish. Dope shit.

“PinkPalmTrees”

This a good ass interlude just laid back like you chilling on the beach getting a tan vacation type shit. She ends this with an interlude of spoken word that pulls you into the next track.

“For Sarah Baartman”

Nitty did her research in order to provide the message for this record. bart

This is basically Nitty saying that she feels like she’s on display because she’s is unique. And understands the history of African-Americans. These lyrics will be on display at art exhibits surely.

“Write!”

This shit is deep. One of the best songs on this album. Just puts you in a mood to where you can think and see the lyrics and the imagery on this one. The hook dictates the tone of the record. It seems like she’s writing a letter to herself: past, present or future.

“In The Water”

This is my favorite record on this album. I don’t know who did this hook but she bodied it. Nitty kills these verses about maintaining her integrity with her music. She is defiant and not willing to sacrifice her style to be popular. Every bar of the hook and verses means some shit on here. You’ll get to know her well on this song. “Tell the whole world, I’m different.” “I’m on my own wave, I don’t fit in.”

“Don’t Shoot! (Feat. Raina Rich)”

This another song that can be used during these days and times with police brutality at a high a fucking joke as a president and a system that makes you want to piss and vomit. But Nitzia got them bars for that shit too. Politicking.

“Kaleidoscopes!”

This track is dope as fuck. The hook is addictive and should be a single. This another club banger something to turn up to. It’s got all that shit people talk about on here. Just turning up and having a good time. Drugs, sex, and alcohol.

“Indígena”

This interlude is quite spiritual and it has some type of Buddhist or Hindu chant. Which is sampled in the closer.

“Mango Nectar”

The interlude is sampled and Nitty comes on this bitch snapping and the kick and the snap and trap snares come through with the bass. This is kind of a victory lap. Quite the odd closer but I’m with it. Both her verses are dope on here too.

Overall, this project is her best work to date. Cause we get a full-length album after 3 years she teased this album a year and a half ago. Now we finally get the album. Nitty has branched out with rap group “No Panty” with Joell Ortiz and Bodega Bams which could have delayed the project. But this shows all of what she has to offer which is messages, spoken word, versatility, beats, bars, and shock value.
