#FMSpotlight: Baybe Kera – “Wallet Handy Freestyle” (Watch)

Baybe Kera is the next burgeoning artist to come out of the tri-state area. Her approach to the microphone is like no other, as she uses personal experiences to propel her immaculate wordplay. Likewise, she motivates women worldwide to stay true to who they are. Self-love is the best love, after all. 

Sonically, Baybe Kera’s musical styling crossovers between somber and aggressive trap beats. 

She’s gotten seals of approval from rap icons Casanova, Lady London, and CashFlow Harlem, to name a few. 

Watching cyphers with her cousins and having freestyle battles propelled her towards hip-hop. At a young age, Baybe Kera loved Remy Ma’s aggression. Once she got older, she started being influenced by Nicki MinajLil Wayne, and Cardi B. She’s also moved by Drake and The Notorious B.I.G. 

As an independent artist, she’s proud of gaining recognition without a team. In actuality, she’s behind the scenes doing all the work. 

“I want my legacy to be making a difference,” she adds. “Healing through my music and inspiring others. Also, I want people to find enjoyment in listening to my music.”

Before recording in the booth, she pens words about her past, present, and desired future.

Her song “Wallet Handy Freestyle” is a piano-driven trap offering that finds Baybe Kera using a self-assertive approach. Lyrically, she expresses the hate she receives from females because of how put together she is. Because of how she carries herself, Baybe Kera comes across potential suitors. But, if they aren’t ambitious or working towards something, she’s not afraid to show them where the exit is. 

In a hot pink mink look like cotton candy/He gon wanna marry, wanna start a family/So does every nigga that come holler at me/I got bitches tryna bring drama at me.”

Afterward, the rapstress addresses the females who try to mimic her style and defame her. Using a slick punchline, she spits, “Hoes want the kitty, wanna copycat me.” Then, “If you gotta problem, then you gotta @ me.

Before the song ends, the “Bluetooth” hitmaker reminds others why she’s widely known for being the baddest lady in the game. Moreover, she leaves a warning for those who try pushing her buttons. 

What you think they call me the professor for? I teach a bitch a lesson when I test a jaw.

The music video for “Wallet Handy” sees Baybe Kera in a lavish room. She dons an island-inspired tee, green pants, and, at one point, a hot pink mink coat. At the end of the video, Baybe Kera lays on a bed while flipping open a black wallet. 

“The motivation behind ‘Wallet Handy Freestyle’ is to be creative and introduce my listeners to another side of my personality,” she says.

#FMSpotlight: Baybe Kera – “Bluetooth” (Listen)

Baybe Kera is breaking through the hip-hop scene with a story and sound that’s unmatched by her peers. Within each song release, the femcee speaks about life experiences, lessons, and how to pick yourself up again when life knocks you down. She also communicates to fans about how important loving yourself is, along with words of encouragement. Contrary to the rapper’s today, she uses her lyrical gift to uplift women everywhere instead of pushing sex appeal. Sonically, Baybe Kera’s musical styling crossovers between R&B-type, somber, and aggressive trap beats. 

She’s gotten sign-offs from rap icons Casanova, Lady London, and CashFlow Harlem, to name a few. 

Shakera Briana Fyffe, better known by her stage name Baybe Kera was born in Jamaica and came to the United States at two years old. Amidst being raised in New Jersey, as an only child in a single-parent home, she witnessed her father’s struggles. Not having a stable home made it difficult for her to enjoy her childhood. Furthermore, the absence of her mother sparked Kera to learn the ways of becoming a lady. 

Because of her parents’ separation, Kera believed that there was no hope in good relationships, but soon, she gained more insight. As Kera became older, her pain became her biggest glory. It gave her hunger, strength, and courage. In the words of Kera, diving into her “rap book,” writing is what kept her happy. 

Baybe Kera’s latest single, “Bluetooth,” is a bass-led trap offering that finds the emerging artist delivering bars about chasing a bag and the result of doing so. She also puts haters to rest by letting the success speak for her prominence. Through a fast, bouncy cadence, she raps,

Baybe Kera known throughout the tri-state/ Pretty ass chick with a nice shape/ B*tches be mad, they see me moving on the road/ And if I’m hiding, I’m in my bag, yeah I let that 40 blow.” 

She also showcases a strong suit of confidence, inspiring those listening to love themselves at all cost and to never cave into someone’s depreciating remarks. 

“Bluetooth” is a follow up to her single, “Drink” which is assisted by a music video. Watch it here
