Sarai The Artist<\/a> didn’t come to play on her new album, No More Humble<\/em>. Showcasing a diverse range from slowed-down vibey R&B-tinged singles to spitting ferociously at an intimidating energy and pace, Sarai debuts as a Cincinnati rapper with serious skills. She previously teased the album’s release with No More Humble<\/em> singles, “Switch Up” and “Normally” in 2018. Now, with the entire project out, Sarai makes her full first impression.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nAlthough a fierce introduction from a new artist demanding to be taken seriously, No More Humble<\/em> was born of more somber inspirations.<\/p>\n“This album came from a place of darkness, growth, but also triumph,” says Sarai. “It\u2019s my message to the world that I [am] no longer doubting myself or selling myself short. Everything I\u2019ve gone through has made me into the artist I am today. I lost a relationship and had to bury five family members in 2017. I was lost, but music helped me find my way.”<\/p>\nNo More Humble<\/em> hardly sounds like a debut, with Sarai’s lyrical dexterity and the project’s overall fluidity. The album starts strong with “Snapped,” a fast-paced intro where she can flex her rapid verbal flow and give listeners a reason to understand the LP’s title. Sarai transitions to “Amen,” a standout\u00a0track, where she makes a flute-driven beat sound hard.<\/p>\nShe gets more in her feelings later on in the 8-track album, exploring relationships\u00a0in “2 Ways” and “To Be Loved” and reverberating struggle in the <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/7vviGO2Ql6DmKZhaOmZK4h?si=gRKgRtWeQU2J1Nzr05ibTw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Wu<\/a>-assisted\u00a0“Normally” and “Neva Lost.”<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27741\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27741\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27741 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382.jpg\" alt=\"Sarai\" width=\"750\" height=\"932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-324x403.jpg 324w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-416x517.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-500x621.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-700x870.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-200x249.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-400x497.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12DBDBA7-F7E6-48ED-BE73-4A50F6091149-e1554752080382-600x746.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarai The Artist \/ Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/mr12am.com\">Andre Whaley<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBesides making an impressive introduction into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/playing-cincy-dayo-flow-hip-hop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cincinnati hip hop scene<\/a>, Sarai uses No More Humble<\/em> to make a point about grief and hardship.
