Mixtape: Chacity

In a hip-hop world dominated by Nicki Minaj and look-a-likes, Chacity may be Detroit's best kept secret. At least, I didn't know about her. Her mixtape 'It's My Turn' dropped Sunday and is definitely not like others.

Chacity could best be described as a hip-hop femme fatale, looking at her you would think she would be like every other lady rapper out there ... then the bars come out.

She seems to have found the perfect balance of keeping it real and repping for the streets while remaining a lady.

'It's My Turn' includes features from local hip-hop heavyweights Miz Korona (who joins her on "Connected" and the cypher like "No Hook") and Slaughterhouse's Royce Da 5'9". Production isn't bad either, there are tracks produced by Alchemist, Silent Riot, and Killumal.
Tracks like "Kisses" and "UnderCover Gyrl" break up the grittiness of the mixtape but aren't any less real.

My Thoughts: I think the mixtape is beyond dope and definitely something worth listening to. It's so different from what we're used to hearing by female rappers, but it isn't masculine at all and it doesn't seem super "ride or die" either. The tracks flow well together and the skits are great (since they're from one of my favorite films 'Set It Off', which doubles as the theme for the mixtpe.)

If you are looking for a Barbie and plastic lyrics, Chacity's 'It's My Turn' may not be the mixtape for you.
