In this Live Session, we check in with rapidly emerging entertainer Aleza, one of the hottest and most versatile rising artists in the game right now! Aleza is taking the world by storm with her unique blend of Hip Hop and R&B, and she just finished touring with GloRilla on the “Anyways Life’s Great” Tour. Aleza also just dropped a slick new single "Opp Slide", which due to her signature smooth, quiet delivery, has an extra ominous quality to the song. A definite 4/5 for me…she’s just so cool, calm, and collected as she drops lyrical missiles…watch out for her!!!
