DYNASTY (LTD ED) (LP) (LEMON YELLOW)

Hua Li's hazy R&B and revolutionary rap cuts to the bone and shakes your frail ass to the ground. Her critically acclaimed Za Zhong EP will be followed up by her debut full-length, Dynasty, out September 2019 via Next Door Records. She is also an active DJ, spinning alt rap favourites and cloudy house cuts. Subversive and sexy, Hua Li is the only half-Chinese, half-militant, half-rapper of your heart.Dynasty tells of Hua Li's journey as second-generation Chinese-Canadian woman and deals with topics like deceitful love, family power dynamics and the profound imbalance that emotional adversity can deliver. Written over several years, this album collects the most authentic and personal songs from Hua Li to date, from declaration of feminine power and grace, 'Mastery' and melancholic and hazy party anthem, 'Social Meds' to devastating takedown of power abused, 'Tell Her' and twisted love story, 'Outwitted.' A co-production with Alexander Thibualt (a.k.a. Gloze), Dynasty is a combination of Montreal's tradition of lush, lo-fi future beat with a twist of jazz sensibility and rap braggadocio. Completed with support from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec and Montreal arts, interculturels, Dynasty is a fierce affirmation of self-representation for Hua Li. ?1 Paper Sons2 Social Meds3 Mr. Greenlight4 Sidebitch5 Mastery6 Since U Been7 Recitation (Interlude)8 Meltdown9 This Chaos10 Tell Her11 Human Love12 Outwitted
