Washington D.C.-born and New York-based artist, rapper, poet, and thinker KAMAUU's calling is music. In his own words, he explains, “Everything on the planet is here to serve the ecosystem, and we’re not the exception—because we were created here just like everything else was,” he says. “There’s a certain level of bliss we give ourselves access to when we contribute to something bigger. My point is not necessarily to be a musician, but to serve. However, I can do so through music.” He's got two EPs and a handful of singles under his belt, the newest being 'BOA', which has landed alongside a video. The song and video have a powerful opening thanks to the narration that is heard and written on the bottom of the screen: "I think we need to consider that the hope of the black community is imbedded in the restoration of the family. Gender feuds are futile and only lead to further disfunction". The song itself is a buzzing, synth heavy production, scattered with gorgeous backing vocals, and Kamauu's slick rhymes and powerful singing. Watch and listen here. - Ellie Rose-Davies
