In our latest Beyond the 6 feature, rapper thecrxwnfitsme opens up about her love of drill music and what she hopes to achieve with her sound:
Temia is one of the performers at CBC Music's The Block Party, and will take the stage at RBC Echo Beach on Aug. 11.
"I think there's this niche that I'm in [with] British female artists doing drill. But I also want to be able to reinvent that," she says. "I like the way people are being creative with [the genre]. It's not just one cookie-cutter type of drill. People are making different types of drill, whether they're adding EDM to it or adding R&B to it or even [making] trap drill.
"I think my music is very dark sometimes … it's pretty moody, but … I always try to find different, more fun or more interesting ways to deliver something that I'm thinking about," she says. "I try to make my bars as witty as possible." "She is so iconic, I love her," Temia says of their conversation. "She loved my outfit and she said I looked really good, so I took that compliment and I will take it to my grave," she adds with a laugh.
"When I started making music, I think I put the things [in my songs] that I didn't want to say to people in person," she says. "I'm such an overthinker and I'm someone who always wants to put things in perspective for other people to understand where I'm coming from. And I feel like my music is the best outlet for me to do that."
