Crude. Fierce. Headstrong. These are just a few words that describe<br />
‘Booty Like Nicki’ by Cianna Blaze. This release is definitely one that<br />
takes you aback with the raw attitude and upfront theme. Her<br />
punchy voice pairs well with the rough and bass-driven production.<br />
The music video is cool with a grungy monotone colour effect, subtle<br />
flashes and raunchy scenes.<br />
“Booty Like Nicki” is the long-awaited single from British rapper Cianna<br />
Blaze, taken from her debut EP “Get Mine” due for release 16th Feb<br />
2018. Her sound is described as “Rage Against the Machine meets Andre<br />
3000”…fierce but with a dancefloor killing vibe. It’s everything you would<br />
expect from a fresh and feisty female…quick wit and sleek rap skills on<br />
slick beats. “The sound I’m bringing is difficult to pigeon hole as it has<br />
influences from different styles of music merged into one,” explains<br />
Cianna. “I never want to copy others, so I do my own thing and just go<br />
with whatever feels right.”<br />
Cianna first drew attention from fans whilst performing as a hype MC at<br />
grime and drum and bass raves and festivals. Through this she performed<br />
with Maxim (The Prodigy), which led to the two working together in the<br />
studio. Cianna’s last release “On Fire”, which included a club-banging<br />
remix by Mob Tactics and a glossy music video which received more than<br />
10k views. The single gained support from trendsetting blogs such as<br />
Your EDM, LSD Magazine & Magnetic Mag.<br />
MC Cianna Blaze is no music newbie. She has been building a loyal<br />
fanbase through her hard-edged vocals and unique style. Cianna is<br />
strong-minded person who thrives on female empowerment and<br />
incorporates a sense of strength and dominance in her music. From<br />
hitting the mic at festivals and drawing on the raw energy of the crowds<br />
to delivering distinctive guest vocals, Cianna has gained industry wide<br />
respect. Her releases include ‘808’ feat Audra Nishita, ‘Phase Me’ feat D<br />
Dark and ‘Baddest Breed’, recorded with Maxim from Prodigy on the<br />
Label Death Drum Rebel and work with Christian Hoffmann’s Toronto is<br />
Broken, all of which have kept her at the forefront of the scene.<br />
