Naya Ali

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. If the prelude was a humble introduction, this latest chapter testifies that Naya Ali is an artist of exception,  power, bravado but more importantly, of vulnerability. Godspeed: Elevated” is an album imbued with maturity inspired by emotions she has experienced in recent years, later earning her the prestigious English Album of The Year Award at the 44th ADISQ Gala in 2022.
