Album Review: Fiyah "Uplift Yo'self"

I have been blessed to be in the company of some of the greatest talent the Southeast has to offer. Poet/Emcee Ayanna Molina AKA Fiyah, is a very talented and gracious personality in the urban culture. She dedicates her movement to the uplifting of the community through music and lyrics. Her album, Uplift Yo'self, is a refreshing approach to music and spoken word. Please support our local artists. She has been featured on the 1st season of Culture Shock, and we look forward to bringing you more of her in the future. May i suggest listening to Hot Thang, and Dropping Jewels, as they are favorites of mine. Give her album a listen here.
