New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ L.M.G.) Upcoming lyricist and spoken word artist, L.A is ready to debut her very first mixtape, The Presentation. The mixtape, which is influenced by Island Def Jam artist Kanye West, will be available for download on January 28th via her website UCanCallMeLA.com. Her exciting new offering will be previewed on Thursday, January 27th, 2011 at the exclusive CV New York (Hotel Rivington).
Patrons will get first listen of L.A's new project and first glimpse of the accompanying mini movie of the same name.
2010 was an amazing year for the recent Wesleyan University graduate. L.A, born Latasha Alcindor, debuted as a lyricist in May 2010 when she appeared in We Got Bars VOL.1 as the only female in a predominantly male freestyle cipher. After positive reviews, she went on to perform at several of New York's top music venues such as the Bowery Poetry Club, Public Assembly, Crash Mansion and as an opener for G.O.O.D Music Artist, Big Sean, at NYU's Kimmel Center. L.A also showcased her work as a playwright earlier in the year with her first stage production, "The Memoirs of Hip Hop. The play, which was written, starred and produced by L.A, debuted at the '92 Theater in Middletown, CT during Wesleyan University's Wesfest Weekend. The show was sold out three nights in a row.
L.A starts off 2011 with a bang by premiering her first mixtape and mini movie, The Presentation. Influenced by classic albums such as The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Kanye West's College Dropout, the tape's setting begins in a classroom and gives the listener a virtual walk through of her learning process as a lyricist.
"The Presentation is not just about my learning process as a lyricist but also to present pieces of myself to the world. It's also about unmasking myself to a world of people who are in hiding and afraid to be themselves. I hope to educate people and create songs that people can relate to." says L.A. The mixtape features other upcoming artists such as D.Julien, Scienze, Eric Sosa, Melodi J and more.
Look out for L.A as she continues her performance and media tour to support the new project.
