Nappy Nina + Swarvy

“Nappy Nina chops and screws lyrics for a jam-packed house party— heads nodding to a den of smoked-out tunes, Nina’s intricate cadence wrapping and un-rapping itself around their psyches. It’s 1996 all over again in Brooklyn, except you’re asking what happens when a young Jay Z meets the Pharcyde twenty years later— hotwired over hazy electro-bassbeats?” – Wax Poetics

“With each release, \[Nappy Nina\] digs in and turns out singular bars, distinctly selected beats, and impressive work..” – 48 Hills

“Nappy Nina’s Mourning Due is one of her most concise, cohesive, and personal projects to date, a profound body of work that showcases her lyrical ability and storytelling, which perfectly complements the lavish, soulful, and cohesive production. Her ability to express what grief is to her and how she deals with it, or at least tries to, is inspiring and a testament to her talents.” – In The Search Of Media
