Nayim nailed this right at the first time I sent her the Instrumental!
But as the client evolved into the campaign she had to re-cut some parts, and did so brilliantly and was very professional.
Loved to do this project with her, and would definitely work again! - check_circleVerified

Nayim is incredibly talented and delivered just what we were looking for!
We needed "clean" rap lyrics for an advert and she wrote the most perfect lyrics even with all the restrains I put against her.
Her vocal performance was full of character. Loved it!
We'll defintely work together. - check_circleVerified
Great raps from Nayim!
