From The Boombox Diaries' opening moments, it's clear that we're dealing with "a breath of something fresh." Over the epic organ tones, horn blasts and electronic flourishes of "Concrete Roses," Nitty pushes past haters to define her own lane and lick a couple of shots while she's there: "Too Lena Horne for these Marilyn Monroeses." With production by !llmind on the Missy-sampling "H.O.T." and AraabMuzik on the raw, melodic banger "IllumiNITTY," our heroine ensures her tracks have the heft and depth to match her rhymes. Call it street soul - a cohesive quality of sound and content that reigns over every track. It's no wonder artists like Kendrick Lamar, Action Bronson, Outasight and Soul Khan all drop by.
