The world got a glimpse of the next generation of musical talent as North West, the 10-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, made her rap debut on her father’s latest single, “Talking / Once Again.” This unexpected collaboration showcases North’s undeniable talent and sets the stage for what could be a remarkable journey into the music industry.
The track, which dropped on Wednesday, not only features North’s rap verse but also boasts an official music video, where she stars alongside her father, Kanye West, and his collaborator Ty Dolla $ign, accompanied by Ty’s daughter, Jailynn Crystal. The music video, directed by The D’Innocenzo Brothers, provides a visual feast that captures the essence of North’s charismatic presence.
North’s rap skills are on full display in her verse: “It’s your best, Miss, Miss Westie / Don’t tryna test me / It’s gonna get messy.” The confidence and flair with which she delivers her lines indicate a natural prowess that runs in the family.
This isn’t the first time North has showcased her musical talents. Reports from TMZ reveal that she performed the same verse at Art Basel, giving audiences a taste of what was to come in the official release. The positive reception during the live performance undoubtedly contributed to the decision to include North’s debut on the studio version.
The song “Talking / Once Again” will be part of the much-anticipated album, “Vultures,” a collaborative effort between Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, set to drop on Friday. The excitement surrounding this album has reached a fever pitch, thanks in no small part to North West’s unexpected but thrilling contribution.
In the accompanying music video, viewers witness North in various scenes, from getting her hair braided to sharing the spotlight with her father. The visual storytelling complements the vibrant energy of the track and adds an extra layer of artistic expression to the overall project.
North’s venture into music aligns with her well-documented appreciation for her father’s musical endeavors. She has previously paid tribute to Kanye West by dressing up in costumes inspired by his iconic album covers, showcasing her admiration for his work. Now, with her official rap debut, North seems poised to carve her own path in the industry.
It’s important to note that music isn’t North’s only passion. In a delightful departure from the spotlight, she recently took on the role of a beauty critic, providing an entertaining and insightful review of her mother’s new makeup collection. This versatility and the ability to engage with different forms of art at such a young age hint at a multi-talented individual with a bright future ahead.
As fans eagerly await the release of “Vultures,” North West’s rap debut serves as both a pleasant surprise and a testament to the enduring influence of the West family in shaping the landscape of contemporary music. The torch has been passed, and North West is undeniably a rising star in the making.
