North West, the eldest daughter of Ye and Kim Kardashian, continues to follow in her father's footsteps by releasing her debut EP.
On Friday, May 1, the 12-year-old prodigy dropped her first-ever project N0rth4evr via Gamma, which is the same label that released her dad's recent album BULLY. North's new project holds six tracks beginning with "H0w Sh0uld ! f33l." The preteen artist samples Meg & Dia’s 2006 song "Monster" before her producer helps bleed the vocals into the bass-filled instrumental.
"Wait, like how should I feel?" North raps. "They be showin' love, but I know it ain't real/Been had bands, you already know the deal/They be turnin' on me like a wheel."
North West's new project is the culmination of her growth in the music industry over the past few years. Ye and his fans have watched her evolve from a featured artist on her father's VULTURES album to an active producer who's working with other celebrities' kids. Since she made her debut on her father's collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, VULTURES, North hopped on other songs like "BOMB" with her sister, Chicago, and eventually made her own songs.
North released "Piercing On My Hand" back in February, and also appeared on King Combs' "Lonely Roads" off his Never Stop EP. She continued to work with other artists like FKA Twigs, who recruited young Northie for their collaboration "Childlike Things" on her Grammy Award-winning album Eusexua. She also got into her producer bag with Lil Wayne's son Lil Novi and Young Money Mötley Krëw's Mag!c on "Justswagup."
