How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
Been followig Lila Ike for a little while now, Jamaica has some massive talent getting recognition at the moment.... chronixx, koffee, Protoje, Sevana, Lila Ike.... Would really recommend the 1xtra rock and groove riddim video ;)
I really like the new school of Jamaican female artists. Their sound is so fresh and refreshing, especially this one, Lila Ike. Her style is not flashy, but it's the natural look and her great singing style voice which makes her so amazing. I expect huge things from her.
Some others not just Jamaica..try awa fall..a Rasta.sister. try nattali rize.. Australian.. aboriginal?. Hip hop . Lady leshurr.. Nadia Rose 🌹..and then..sampa The great. Awa from.senegal. ..sampa.zambia. Lady and Nadia England then sa-roc mereba.... Yes young female talent. Times.be.good. praises blessings Jah Herb
Got a chance to catch Michael Kiwanuke a few years back - even though I don't listen to mainstream radio, I SO appreciate Tiny Desk series for the chance to catch recent generations of PHENOmenal musicians of color I'd not likely ever hear. This young artist nails it!
Locs sister say locs, as the word dreads is derived from the word dreadful. I’m sure you agree with the fact that everything about this video is beautiful and heavenly. Stay bless sister, jah bless ✊🏾
The return to this vibe is daily and a must❣️ Blessings for the placements so I can get right to the vibe, or when my soul need it I just let it permeate the air💫✨🔥🙏🏽🙌🏽💚🖤💛😎🤙🏽💃🏽
Protoje brought her to the UK several years ago,I saw her in Bristol she was unknown at the time instantly you knew this girl was different.Tenderly brought through by genius Protoje, In the 37 yrs I’ve been avidly following Reggae,I’ve never seen a female artist emerge as good as Lila.Potentialy she’s Icon class .❤️🇯🇲🎤🇯🇲✊🏿🇬🇳
I can’t wait to see her progression. I have high hopes. I think we haven’t seen anything yet!!! 💯 She might have to pivot out of that roots & culture niche I think, but we’ll see 😁
The description says "Lila's vocal agility can bend notes and transcend genres, the kind of voice that makes you want to turn to your friend at a show and say "Is she for real??"" and that is exactly what I did as soon as I heard the first song in this set. Lila Ike is my new favorite artist~ ~such smooth vibes~
Wait a minute Npr.. u have Lila Ike on NpR tiny desk.. omg .. u keep on raising the bar.. ok so now u allowed Lila to the stage.. Can u please.. invite Sevana and Jaz elise and Naomi Cowan.. And i know u like surprising me but.. takebthe mentioned artist in consideration.. . I love love love this..
Yes!! Lila Iké on Tiny Desk. My favorite artist in 2020, been rocking her new album since they dropped recently. Beautiful voice soulful vibes & phenomenal artist.
Get Sevana Siren on here!!!! Thanks for this. So glad to see Lila Iké here. She's underated and deserve more recognition🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 Imagine Lila Iké and Sampa the Great collab? Waaaaww
Reliatening… getting goosebumps… Lila Ike is a trailblazer… what she went through is rough… but she was chosen to break down certain mental barriers of Jamaicans… welcome to the 21st century… love and mad respect to Lila… and all sentient beings ✨🙏✨♥️✨🏆✨
Best reggae performance on TD till now. Chronix, Koffee, Black Uhuru, seen some here. She's the first one to make reggae music Vocalist shine like it should at this level ✨ Respect
Lila lke proves why she is one of the most exciting new female Reggae artist on the rise. I got Solitude on constant rotation. 'Thy will' on Sly & Robbie's classic Baltimore Riddim is on fire. Great live set. NPR does it again.
@Tye710 calm down...is not every comment unu must take serious🤣 even if she say it a million n 1 times. If ppl give it to her that's what they give...she can't stop anyone to call her queen all if she don't want it..I know y I comment what I comment
Ive found her voice to be hauntingly beautiful from the moment she popped on the scene. By hook or crook, I will get her to Vegas for a stage show when the world opens up back...Yard. stan up!

jamaica big for music
These background singers should be kept. They compliment the vibe so well. Reminds me of Sade.
that lil vibrato thing she does w her voice is so beautiful, I like her she's dope 🔥
caught that too...unique for the genre
well said
I agree
syncopated as well I think. Incredible.
I love it too. Her voice is magical and so unique.

Me too 💙
@@aliyahkhalid2837 me too
My thoughts exactly. She is so talented
Nice !
Me…four? I can’t count ppl but I can count beats 😎
Tiny desk notifications are the only ones I click on without asking is this worth my time. Tiny desk is always worth the time.
Real talk!
Agreed...never disappointed
Facts
Preach
Correct😊
She reminds me of Erykah badu...her style, grace, and delivery...I love her music, new fan!
That’s what had drawn me to her too
Actually she’s cooler! Not Jafakin!
Avery talented vocalist,can't imagine the sound of her n Rihanna n HER.salute
Thought exactly the same
The vibrato from lila is amazing
The violin is a nice touch.
Yessss
its more than a touch ;-)
If you’re watching this as a Jamaican and not be proud something wrong with you. Props to Lila for doing her thing and keeping it authentic
If you're a Jamaican and not be proud something wrong with you. :)

I agree also! She has the potential to be a massive star.
I can’t wait to see her progression. I have high hopes. I think we haven’t seen anything yet!!! 💯 She might have to pivot out of that roots & culture niche I think, but we’ll see 😁
Nice development
Reminds me of some lovers rock sounds on Capital Radio years ago
A beautiful natural Black woman with natural amazing talent ❤️❤️❤️✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Yall the real MVP’s for getting Lila on here! 😍 Protoje, Sevana, and Mortimer NEED one too! So much talent coming out of JA! ❤️

check her dubplates. they're nasty good!
Almost looks like they managed to sneak-in NPR's office, nice job film crew and sound engineer :)
This is a smoke room at itopia life (medical marijuana dispensary)
Seen, was thinking it was Protoje’s Yard
nick124 me too. Swear he has a place called itopia. Lila shot Solitude there.
👍🏾
The background singers are a vibe and the violinist 🔥
Lila is a solid young radiant. That hears from the Ancestors and is in service to the Most High.
This Queen's a star in my book so many great tunes wow and pretty wow 😊
Shes a queen love her too much looks, natural voice and she cook too😂 this woman has everything!!!
Yes
A beautiful Island filled with legends but these young artists like LILA, SEVENA and JAH 9 etc...are fire !!
I discovered one of my favourite artists today. Thank you NPR Musid
🇯🇲
Me too
Me three. The girl is jammin.
Something about lika makes me want to listen her on repeat
This may have been the best band intro ever seen on a Tiny desk
Wait a minute Npr.. u have Lila Ike on NpR tiny desk.. omg .. u keep on raising the bar.. ok so now u allowed Lila to the stage.. Can u please.. invite Sevana and Jaz elise and Naomi Cowan..
And i know u like surprising me but.. takebthe mentioned artist in consideration.. . I love love love this..
Naomi Cowan should be here and the entire crew Sevana 🔥
That's the SQUAD right there. Love their 1 Xtra riddim video.
Yaaaaaaaaasss!!! Couldn't agree more!!!
Yes, Rose Noire yes! I agree👍
The minimalist parts really support the vocals really well, and then when it builds up, it really enforces it.
I am really here for my peace of mind, Lila's voice, the Violin/bass. Pure Jamaican Vibes Mi Breddah.
Wow. Reggae mixed with funk mixed with Celtic fiddle mixed with blues .....
I didn't hear no Celtic Fiddle, the Violinist is self taught so he was playing something else.
Lila Ike has natural talent that is really on a different level. The band, the mood and vibe is unbeatable.
she deserves more recognition 🔥🔥🔥 her voice is so pure n angelic
Lila is s born entertainer. She has the full package
Sevana on Tiny Desk next please! 🙏🏽
Chillsssssss
Love her voice so much
Everyone involved are so talented 🙌
Cho 🖤💚💛 Jamaican again. MASSIVE country..eety bitty land space😜
This woman is incredible! Her voice is unreal 💗💗💗
Agree
She's the REAL DEAL...sounds just like her studio version. NATURAL TALENT! Big-up yuhself Lila. 💜🙏🏼💜

Again thank you NPR for exposure to such a vast array of artists and music! Love this - thank you Lila!
