You Should Know…Maimouna Yusef, Watch Her Remix”Loyal” Into “We Already Royal”

Her name is Maimouna Yusef.  You may have heard her on The Root’s single, “It Dont Feel Right”, but there is so much more to Maimouna aka “Mumu Fresh” then you know.  Maimouna “Mumu Fresh” Youssef is a seasoned Grammy nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and emcee whose lush spirit filled vocals could bring you to tears while still being able to spit raps with the top emcees in the game..  This young starlet has swapped musical licks with the likes of Angelique Kidjo, Femi Kuti, Nas, Dead Prez, Will Downing, Cody ChesnuTT, Martin Luther, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli. In addition, she has traveled world wide as a supporting vocalist for legends such as Lalah Hathaway, Zap Mama, The Roots and Common. She’s not just a dope singer, she rhymes too!  

Ok I know you’re like Laiya you must know this girl.  Yes I do!  That’s why I know how dope she is.  On her new mix tape she not only attacks Lorde’s “Loyal” remixing it to “We Already Royal”, she also remixes RiRi’s “Pour It Up” to “Student Loans”, she even remixes “Happy” for her own “Nappy” I love this girl!  For me Maimouna makes real KEEP IT REAL music.  Maybe that could be a new genre lol,  “Reality Music”.  Log on to her website to check out her new mix tape, The Reintroduction of Mumu Fresh hosted by Common’s DJ, DJ Dummy.  But check out her new video for “We Already Royal” that was directed my another homie of mine and Common collaborator, Brian Kyle.
