Single Review: “Raised Around Queens” – Eva Lazarus

This track is pure poetry from top to bottom! The beat prowls, it starts off with a guitar playing a tasty little riff but it switches up around 0:11. Eva comes in good and strong, loud and proud about her family history, from Jamaican descent to Bristol and busking with her crew.

She lets you know quickly that she’s not one to be trifled with – 5’10” not including her hair and her hair plays a really important part – don’t touch her hair or she will flip! Hair in some cultures is to be worn as a crown.

This track has some great elements, the turntable scratching toward the end, the nod to those musical talents that led the way like Uncle Marvin Gaye, and the experiences that made Eva who she is. She is indeed raised among royals.
