Damn that’s fresh. It was our initial reaction to Womandatory, the new single from Ju Kai. The artist celebrates that “Womandatory” hits that sweet spot between old-school hip-hop grit and soulful R&B smoothness. It’s a tribute to sisterhood and taking up space, built on a classic head-nodding beat. We think its a versatile style flex that honors the dynamic influence of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu.
