HAVIAH MIGHTY FINAL FANTASY FREESTYLE

Toronto-based rapper Haviah Mighty reminds us of why she is the first black woman to win the Polaris Music Prize, with her newest ‘Final Fantasy Freestyle’. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Haviah takes Drake’s highly acclaimed track ‘Final Fantasy’ and puts a spin on it. This rapper is keeping true to her word in helping to prove that lyrical ability isn’t a gender or age restricted art as she speaks about spending quality time with her partner in a sensual manner. Her choice to use autotune in certain parts of the song is extremely smart, as it keeps us intrigued and surprised throughout as we constantly do not know what to expect from this rapper. Haviah has had an impressive career since she and her group The Sorority went their separate ways, and she is clearly going from strength to strength as she continues to flourish as an artist. Listen to the ‘Final Fantasy Freestyle’ now. -Shanice L
