Yo TOV world! Krush
is back with another piece for your mp3 players. I was at club Exit recently, and they were
playing some song I’ve never heard before.
So I was asking people on the floor who the singer was. It seems everyone in the club knew the singer
was Thalisha, and I felt like I was sittin my ass in a cave for nearly 20
years. The mix master must have, at
least, put her song in rotation a minimum of 6 times that night. I was amazed at her flow, and her trueness to
hip hop.
I did my homework with Thalisha. It seems she’s been aired on major radio
stations here in the tri-state area. So
far, I’ve heard her on 98.7 Kiss FM, local radio station here in New
York, and New Jersey. I’ve also seen her perform a couple of times
on this cable show called “The Roof.”
Yo, check out this show man. The
women are HOT! Anyways, back to this
Thalisha chick blazing up the underground, Thalisha has performed twice on “The
Roof.”
Thalisha is a New York
native, born in Washington Heights,
and have been signing since she was 5.
It wasn’t until 2003 where Thalisha’s talent flourished as she won the
“Showtime Teenz” segment of “Showtime in Harlem.” Since then, she’s contracted with Ecko Red to
represent their clothing line in 2003.
Thalisha has also performed worldwide, alongside celebrity singers such
as Angie Martinez, Nina Sky, and Stephanie Mills. Although 17 years of age, her singing
experience is near equivalent to some who are seasoned veterans.
Thalisha’s most recent hit, “NY,
NY” (a remix to Ja Rule’s 2004 blockbuster song)
is hot in the underground. In her
singing, her flow to hip hop is extremely rhythmic. There’s a certain assertiveness in her voice
when she sings, as though she is establishing her presence on a track. Her Latin style, coupled with hot underground
beats, results in a song that will definitely energize any club it’s played
in. On her present course, Thalisha will
most certainly establish a name for herself in the hip hop community, if not
mainstream, then majorly influential in its underground form.
Thalisha’s presence on stage is another feature of her that
I admire. When she’s performing, the
same assertiveness in her voice also comes out in her persona as she
sings. As she moves from one side of the
stage to another, there is confidence in her step, and stride.
Honestly, I think this is something embedded in the DNA of
East Coast people. Being a bit biased of
course, I think those who live on the East Coast, especially in New
York, and New Jersey,
have that attitude crowds love to watch, and other celebs try to imitate.
