She raps in a lightning-fast, tightly reined, tongue-twisting, furious style, with her solid rhyming interrupted by occasional sung verses set against a backtrack of well-produced beats that make you wanna shake your rump. After getting dumped from UK-based Domino Records (Junior Boys, Arctic Monkeys), Shunda K (formerly of Yo Majesty) decided to give her entire Domino catalog away — for free. Both LPs, The Best Eva Written: Outkast and Kollaborations (featuring her much celebrated duet with Peaches), are available for download on her website along with other Shunda K recordings. Get them now. (Photo by Phil Bardi.) shundak.com
