New Music: NeMiss ChiYork - "The Game We're In" - RESPECT. | The Photo Journal of Hip-Hop Culture

As a follow-up to her first Summer ‘17 release, “Ruler,” – the Chicago native, turned Brooklynite, NeMiss ChiYork, drops off her second single before the season closes out. Once again, enlisting star musicians, Nate Jones [bassist for Trey Songz], Adam Ahuja [collaborated under Warner Music Group & The O’Jays’ musical director], and Nate Jones [musical director for Lyfe Jennings tour] for her R&B Soul infused Hip Hop record, “The Game We’re In.”

“In the vein of Jill Scott, this track gives a personal account of a love affair gone astray,” shares NeMiss.

“The Game We’re In” opens with mellow drums, melodic synths, and keys, that segue into the record’s calming hook. Which then transitions into Nemiss’ heavenly flow, where she unleashes rhymes about a man who has caught her attention, and won her over.

“We elevated, but it’s complicated. I’m not your girl but you mad at who I’m dating. I had to laugh, I know you feel. You frontin’ to me like you got a heart of steel.”

NeMiss, who also performs with indie group, Cross Culture Band, is no stranger to live instrumentation. Utilizing her vocals – whether she’s harmonizing or rapping – to drive the various messages she wants to convey, over live sounds that blend her favorite genres is what defines her music.
