I've gathered a list of Black Girl Magic from around the world. Some you might know and some may be new to you. Whatever the genre, these ladies have you covered.
But before you check the videos out, here is the Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/checkthevibes/playlist/0hciIkRjpzYHnhi04PvIkG?si=tFGqUdYoQzKTVr48IpE9Qg
1). Kelela - This woman is dope as hell. She has a look that could kill and a vibe that's mellow yet electric. Check out her song Blue Light below.
2). Raven Lenae - My body was NOT ready for this one right here. I can't even narrow her vibe down to just one genre because she is all over the place AND I'M HERE FOR IT. Considering my music range is everywhere, she's right up my alley. Peep her bop Free Room, below.
3). Akua Naru - If you're looking for a storyteller, Akua is the gem you were looking for. A mixture of jazz and hip hop, she can grab your attention from beginning to end. Her tune My Mother's Daughter is below.

This fly beauty from the Bronx released Hood Foreign back in 2013 and has been climbing the rank ever since. Her most recent work is absolutely phenomenal, as she lays her rhymes over classic joints we all used to vibe to back in the day. From Crush on You, Doo Wop, Who's that Girl, Gotta Get You Home With Me and much more, Maliibu Miitch will easily become your new fav in no time. Checkout her spin of Doo Wop, below.
