North London MC and vocalist Nayana IZ is part of the NINE8 collective - a creative vessel which is also home to the likes of Biig Piig and Lava La Ru. 'how we do' is her second single, released alongside a vibrant and colourful music video. The song showcases more of Nayana’s MC talent than her debut single ‘Pusha’ which swanks her sweet singing voice. ‘how we do’ boasts a jumpy trap beat and booming sub bass that sets a moody tone. There’s a mesmerising flute melody that repeats with tantric monotony underneath Nayana’s slick and skilful rap - her rhymes are fast with the absence of a tied tongue. This tune is the perfect soundtrack for moving around the city, through the shadows of the night. -Ellie Rose-Davies
