Kirby Maurier - Da' Lick
Artist: Kirby Maurier
Featuring: J NICS
Producer: DJ Premier
Album: Class of '96 EP
Label: Valholla Entertainment
Kirby Maurier may be an R&B singer rather than a rapper, but that doesn’t mean she can’t represent (“...represent, represent!”) for classic hip-hop. On newly-leaked EP cut Da’ Lick, the South Florida songbird exhibits a knack for street storytelling that many rappers would envy, backed by one of ‘90s rap’s most memorable instrumentals. Over the pensive, Primo-produced beat from Illmatic inclusion Represent (Sampled, in case you were wondering, from Lee Erwin’s Thief of Baghdad), the singer soulfully outlines her meticulous plan for the heist of a lifetime. Southern N*ggas Ain’t Slow rhymesayer J NICS shifts the narrative into present-tense, chronicling the crime as it unfolds in a breathless closing verse. Do our modern-day Bonnie and Clyde make it out of the caper with their freedom, and their lives? You’ll just have to listen and find out. However the chips fall, one thing’s for certain: both R&B-lovers and hip-hop heads will find plenty to like on Kirby Maurier’s forthcoming EP, Class of ‘96. Watch for the project to arrive on the ‘net this Tuesday, February 14 (aka Valentine’s Day).

Most new artists would be considered crazy for touching a classic, Premo-produced beat... but do not clump Ms. Maurier into that category. Both her and NICS shine, bringing back that organic feel from the 90s when everything sounded fresh and not re-produced and over-synthesized.

Kirby's storytelling is so vivid backed by J NICS' voice and rhymes makes this the perfect collaboration. I look forward to hearing more from both in the future!

Pretty cool beat by DJ Premier. I like Kirby Maurier's sound. Definitely brings me back to the 90's but in a good way. Cool track and NICS was a good feature.

Wow, I actually REALLY like this! Kirby's voice and style is definitely what the R&B game has been is missing and JNICS adds even more spice to the song.

Ive been following Kirby Mau. since her Worldstar covers and I can't wait to hear her new EP. I also heard alot from J nics and Im a fan. This song brings me back to the 90s and the story telling on this song is detailed. Great Job to Kirby and J Nics

Nas "Represent" was definitely a classic, but that doesn't mean that people shouldn't be able to make it their own; especially if it sounds good, in which it does. I look forward to hearing more from Ms. Kirby. This is certified dope!
