NAYA ALI

Ethiopian-born rapper Naya Ali has arrived on the hip-hop scene like a breath of fresh air, winning many awards with her album Godspeed: Elevated (ADISQ 2022, GAMIQ 2022). Quickly noticed for her personality and outstanding flow, the artist transports us from a scathing universe to a world that is sometimes dark or quiet, but always uncompromising.

Ethiopian born, Canadian-raised rapper Naya Ali is an award-winning rap and hip-hop artist who burst onto the scene in 2017 with her first EP “Higher Self.” Assertive in her raspy deliveries and exceptional flow, she is quickly noticed for unique vocal tone and ability to move in and out of flow pockets skillfully.

In March 2020, she released the first part of a two-album project: Godspeed: Baptism(Prelude), where she broke the ice and proved her potential to contend within the American and international hip-hop markets. In 2021, she released the sequel to this opus, Godspeed: Elevated- an earnest body of work showcasing her journey from baptism into the rap game, to her imminent elevation. This latest project earned her the prestigious Album of the Year at the 44th Gala ADISQ in 2022.

Naya Ali is an artist who does not hide her international ambitions; her current success on a national scale bodes a bright future for this Montreal rapper.
