Clownin’ from Las Vegas multi-skilled singer/producer/emcee Demyia shows us her unique greatness

Clownin‘ from Las Vegas multi-skilled singer/producer/emcee Demyia (duh-MY-uh) shows us her unique greatness with her clever lyrics, style and artistry.

When you live in a world full of fake copycats that try and greedily take all the milk for themselves, to hear an original musician sprinkle this delicious goodness all over our ears- is a true blessing.

Their words don’t match up to their actions and you feel like they are taking you for a ride. You love being with them and it feels so good but you can’t do this anymore. You just want them to yourself but get the feeling that they are just with you to take a break from their current relationship. You feel like they are messing you around and it needs to stop but you feel like they can do whatever they want with you.

Clownin’ is such a dope track and is so real with this story of forbidden love that feels so hot but is so wrong. This is the ultimate temptation that you love and hate- all at the same time that ultimately creates a toxic mix that will leave a soggy taste in your mouth. With a smooth voice that makes you smile, the vividly described raps blow the mind and the quality is so clear to see. This is a polished act that has a sense of humour and self-awareness, a rare gift that Demyia has in her armour.
