Samara Cyn, a 26-year-old rapper and singer in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, started her career after writing her first song. But until last fall, her debut EP drove home and started turning and caught people’s attention as she blended alternative hip-hop with Neo-Soul. She has been logging in with Joey Bada $$ and the new Ovrkast on Ray Vaughn’s recent mixtape The Bad the Dollar menu. Although the album was hot a few weeks ago, her second EP appeared with the latter.
“Summer Turn” is a striking introduction to find herself sweating frequently because she feels the fixture has risen, and Sherwyn’s “pop” is used to trade verses in a cloudy boom to kill people. “Hardheads” provide a more stylish atmosphere for the face-to-face beat society in 2025, after the cloudy and relevant “bad brain” talks about anxiety and distractions in the face of life, “Brand New Teeth” wraps up the EP with Smino and talks with both of them about delusional stress.
Samara, who was late as usual, got her co-signed from Doechii and even Lauryn Hill, brought her onto the stage, and Samara faced certain parts of herself, has been denying and facing them good enough to make her potential more successful than the path to success 8 months ago. She returned to October’s hunger than October, and if she kept purifying the style that made herself popular, her full-length studio debut would only leave a bigger mark on the industry than this moment.
Score: 8/10
