Los Angeles, CA (May 6, 2022) — Rising Milwaukee-born rapper, singer and rising Quality Control Music force of nature Lakeyah returns with a new single and music video entitled “I Look Good.” A thumping bass line pulsates through heavy 808s as she emanates spirit and style. Serving up an unshakable and undeniable hook, she declares, “Bitch, I’m bangin’. I look good, a little bougie, a little hood.”
In the accompanying visual, she leads a workout decked out in all bright pink. She raps to the camera from a fitness lab behind slick shades with no shortage of charisma. Listen to “I Look Good” HERE. Watch the music video HERE.
Lakeyah’s new music arrives on the heels of last year’s fan favorite Gangsta Grillz mixtape, My Time, with DJ Drama. She attracted high-profile guests such as Tyga, Moneybagg Yo, Bankroll Freddie, and more. In addition to plugs from Complex, OnSmash, and more, Consequence of Sound raved, “The 11-track project brings Lakeyah to the next level, as she deftly balances boastful raps and effortless flows.”
Quality Control Music’s newest signee Lakeyah Danaee is putting on for both the Midwest and Atlanta with a versatile sound that bridges that gap between velvety R&B and hard-hitting bars, even contesting her veteran QC counterparts. The Milwaukee-born singer, rapper, and star-in-the-making came from humble beginnings in the Midwest. Growing up in Milwaukee and raised by a single mother with four children, Lakeyah was shy and studious, spending her days at the park and her nights reading acclaimed novels—like Rich Man Poor Man and The Help—given to her by her grandmother. As she came into her teenage years, her lyrical chops and songwriting prowess began to emerge. Her rise into the spotlight kicked off in 2019 with a remix of a City Girls track for the viral “First Day Out” Challenge, which gained traction online and caught the eyes of Quality Control and City Girls’ JT, who reposted her track. In September 2019, after honing her craft playing local shows in Milwaukee, Danaee rolled the dice on a permanent move to Atlanta. In early 2020, Denaee followed up with The Keymix II project, which introduced the world to her unmatched range, effortlessly swinging between aggressive, braggadocious rap and soulful, earnest R&B tracks. After releasing her project, Lakeyah still found herself in Atlanta with no income, living off financial support from her family, but her perseverance and the pressure to succeed eventually produced two more diamonds in the rough when she remixed Lil Baby’s “Sum 2 Prove” and “We Paid” in Spring of 2020. Again, her “We Paid” remix was quickly reposted by Lil Baby online, but this time Quality Control wasn’t waiting for someone else to recognize her untapped potential. QC’s CEO Pierre “P” Thomas sent Lakeyah a DM asking for music and wasted no time signing her to the label. Since signing, Lakeyah has consistently fed her fans with music, releasing Time’s Up in 2020 and In Due Time in 2021. Her momentum continues with the release of her latest single, “I Look Good,” which showcases her clever flows, cutting-edge delivery and an undeniably catchy hook. With a unique style, natural talent and so much range, there’s no doubt that Lakeyah will gracefully climb the ranks toward stardom.
