LATASHÁ has built a reputation as one of Brooklyn's most genre-defying voices, moving fluidly between hip hop, spoken word, punk, and performance art. Her work has drawn attention from Wonderland Magazine, OkayPlayer, and Fact Magazine, who've covered everything from her 2017 album BLAK to her latest singles and visual releases. Below is a look at what's been said about her music, along with photos from recent performances and shoots.
“Undulating basslines, self-assured flow and energetic dancehall club energy pulses through the song – which serves as a fearless anthem of empowerment for Black women everywhere. And the music video sees Latashá taking centre-stage as a pay-per-view medium calling on “young, gifted and black” women to take what’s owed.”
The opening lines to Latashá‘s latest single, “WHO I AM,” is a mantra that embodies what the artist’s song is about: championing and embracing all aspects of yourself and being aware of who you are.

“Brooklyn polymath Latasha Alcindor has been working in the New York music and art worlds for a few years now, and B(LA)K. – her first full-length project since 2014 – is what you’d get if the love child of Lil Kim and Lauryn Hill made an experimental, spoken-word rap album. (Plus, it’s a respite from the testosterone-fueled projects that usually fill this round-up.) “
