American girl like a doll

Brat with the chefs kiss

Barbie started all this

But rainbow bright and sailor moon

We’re the figures of action

Your Roses Nip | KeAnna Rose | 2019

Before I painted Nip I started a piece titled, “take a deep breath”, a phrase I’m often reminded to do. Painted in royal blue, yellow, purple and white. I wanted to express this mantra that works for me to relax and focus.

After Nip passed, I was hurt like so many others, it felt like a loss to the culture and to the world. Here it is to finally feel like with where I come from I can be everything I want to be without changing or hiding from what makes me me. I don’t have to be perfect, I don’t have to have a perfect family and I don’t have to come from the perfect place. Nip inspired ethic in individuality and loving yourself so you can be love to others. Nip inspired audacity not just as a creator but as a bridge between dimensions; the American streets and Corporate America.

As an artist I wanted to pay homage to Nip and give him his well deserved roses for continuing to inspire. I painted Nipsey’s silhouette over the, take a deep breath phrase.

“The highest human act is to inspire”- Nipsey Hussle

The breath is the force that propels life through our body.

To inspire is to BREATH life into.

To conspire is to TOGETHER BREATH.

I believe in synchronicities

Miss You!

[keannarose]

I met u

I met you on a familiar corner but unknown to me

Memories I will look back on and you right there

Streets I passed before but ignored

I’ll meet you in far off places n right in the city we call home.

KOTH on his newest album release gives nostalgia, with sounds and lyrics. Familiar beats, reimagined with slick sounds. Very Seattle sound and very what I would say is hip hop. KOTH is not a stranger to the Seattle music scene but more like a pave maker in our city as far as the art of music goes.

On his recent album I would say there are quite a few recognizable samples that makes listening fun and familiar.

In my opinion KOTH is a “conscious artist” talking more about deeper subjects. And using word play over just rhyming.

The title of the album insinuates a certain mannerism. I’m fortunate to actually have met KOTH and feel the title is appropriate to his artistry.

My go to song on the album is “Mr Been Been” you can hear the articulation in his pronunciation, very west coast. “The Spot” really feels like a sit and chill vibe, almost like lofi sound. I could sit and get work done.

I also appreciate the way KOTH revisits subjects and lines he has used before in previous music.

It’s a good summer vibe and music you can put in a playlist and not change the song when it visits your shuffle.

Baby guurl

Let me do my dance

Show u I’m lost in my own world like a trance

There’s planets n constellations

I see u give yourself patience

U be working your own nerve

I’m just another ghetto girl

For real for real

But damn near make believe

Baby guuurl

Watch me twirl

If I could keep it on live would u watch

Or u want me to stop

Breathing

Delusions believe in

I’m in the clouds

I’m in the stars

Milky Way

I strut out

Just really a slut walking it out

Hardly talk

But think a lot

Want love but I don’t really know what that’s about
