Product Description

Yummy's debut, 'First Seed', is a kaleidoscope into the mind of a young woman who has seen more than she should have but has lived to write about it. All of her influences, from classic R&B to rock-and-roll, are represented on 'First Seed'. That sentiment is evident on the head-snapping first single, 'Come Get It' featuring Jadakiss. Yummy's eclectic vocals combine with a pulsating rhythm, a heavy bass-line and infectious harmonies to make for a surefire dance floor number. The added touch of Jadakiss' signature growl is a perfect combination. 'Is It Good To You' is another raucous romp on the wild side.

Other standouts include 'I Don't Really', a dramatic track with a Latin feel and 'Queens', a powerful ode to her favorite New York City borough. Yummy also takes on her past with 'Just Leave', where she reflects on the days when life was difficult. In addition to addressing past difficulties, she writes about things she still struggles with today. 'Time' is a sobering soliloquy on the grief and separation that still haunt her.
