Vokab Kompany x Knight Riderz – Show Up ft. Siya [audio]
Bed Stuy, Brooklyn bred MC Siya dropped a dot on our radar over a year ago. We’ve been itching to collab ever since. And so off we sent a handful of beats and upon her hearing Knight Riderz’ big EDM and booty-bass style, she fired back lyrically, and with vigor.
The 12 bar explosion she returned triggered a ton of ideas between us and Knight Riderz leading to beat revamps, a few rearrangements and re-executed vocals. The more we worked on it, the more the “Show Up” theme seemed to permeate both with in the beat and lyrical content.
Siya’s ending line in the track goes something like, “I got everybody waiting like when is she gonna blow up. And I just pray that everybody show up”! This hits home as each of us continue to navigate our way through the peaks and valleys that encompass this bipolar roller-coaster that is, “the music industry”, in the hopes that we can someday reach that metaphorical “blow up” stage and continue to detonate.
Siya is starring in the reality T.V. show “Sisterhood of Hip Hop”, produced by T.I., which debuts on the Oxygen Channel in August. We believe her time to BLOW UP is now. We hope this track encompasses the tension and subsequent release of said explosion.
