about

“Her laid-back flow is a great contrast to her biting lyrics, and while NiLLa is open to collaborating with other producers, her self-produced track “Dog Days” is sublime. The heady trip-hop influenced track is as hypnotizing as it is moody, and represents her artistry perfectly. Check her out!” (IndabaMusic.com)

“From The Ground Up is as ferocious as it is feminine, offering a new lexicon thoroughly developed from Nilla’s own experiences… it’s that unique energy, education, exuberance and experience of one woman that makes this record so solid.” (View Magazine)

“Nilla unloads smart rhymes with her sooty, sexy vocals…Here’s an artist to watch in 2010.” (Ottawa Citizen)

“Nilla stays consistent and true to her voice through the whole album, letting her lofty thoughts arc through it riding an unbroken thread.” (IndabaMusic.com)
