♫ ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: STACY EPPS

♫ Stacy Epps – Floatin’

Say hello to Stacy Epps. When I first heard her, of course the first influence that popped into my mind was Amel Larrieux, of whom I happen to be a big fan of. Stacy, who would never denounce hip hop as her first love, rattles of the names of KRS 1, MC Lyte and Queen Latifah as some of her main influences.

Her first single, “Floatin’” is a mellow, grooving track that has been getting a lot of love as of late. Her album is slated to drop in July, and will be what Stacy calls a “truly independent venture.”

Make sure you guys show Stacy some love and let her know what you think of her music!

    Definitely feeling this right here!!! I’m a neo-soul head so this is what I’ve been missing… I do hear a little influence of Amel Larrieux in her vocals whom I am a fan of as well… I need to go peep her Myspace page to hear some more of her material..

  13. crunkpoet

    Ooo this is so refreshing and melodic

  14. Stanzilla

    This song is tight and needs to get more radio play!

  15. Who is this Omar’s sister……………………………………………………….NEXT.!!

  16. diamond

    the background vocals reminds me of Bjorks “Oceania”

  17. Fake Ass Yaki Number 2

    Nice!

  18. slim.goodies

    hate the beat

  19. Stacy

    I love it! It’s chill. Stacys stand up! LOL

  20. cc

    Like the beat, not the voice so much. It’s grating.
    And her flow reminds me of Amel Larrieux, but that’s pretty much it.
    Now, I’m going to listen to some other tracks…

  21. Sarah Vaughan

    i like the song a lot…but the rap was wack.

  22. boomby .

    i love this . smooth melodic tip! i just love originality and just stuff like this

  23. Miss. Tiandez Jones

    love it! LOVE IT LOVE IT!

    its so sombre, soo chill. It reminds me of a nice summer evening, the sun dying down, humidity fills the air but a nice breeze comes along every now and again…chilling on the varandah or in a field..so chill…havent heard a track like this in a hot minute. Feels good man. So fresh. Definitely will be bumping this in my car this summer.

  24. o.s.u.m

    I don’t hear the Amel connection at all,but I’ve been lovin Stacy for a min now. If I’m not mistaken she’s actually the sister of Madlib and Oh No. She sings the hook on Oh’ No’s debut album, The Disrupt.

    And Gabbi is the truth too! Don’t sleep on Boobie’s Groove.

  25. wes b

    damn i like this. i wanna hear the rest of the album now. Even the beat is sick

  26. the one is back

    I like this chick. I do not get the Amel L- comparison other then the sound but not the voice. I love Amel, but I like Stacey so it will be nice to see what else comes out from her.

  27. MSPENCE

    She does remind me of Amel a little..Once she starts flowin, i think differently.. She’s definitely tight tho..

  28. Angelita

    I’m feeling this song. She has a great look and a different sound…love it!

  29. MISSY MITTY

    LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. DID I SAY I LOVE IT, OH YEAH I LOVE IT!!!

  30. DH

  33. IAMDARKAQUA

  34. SHE, SHE

    I LIKE IT…. THEY NEED TO PLAY MORE SONG LIKE THIS ON THE DARN RADIO. INSTEAD OF THOSE SAME 15 DAMN SONGS THEY GOT ON HEAVY ROTATION… LET OTHER ARTIST GET THERE SHINE…. HOWEVER SONG IS HOT…

  35. I like it definetly feeling this one!

  36. Sharonda

    I can get with it!

  37. Touchofhoney

    I am definately feeling this song!!!!!!!!! It has a great vibe, and the flo was tight!

  38. Focused1

    I like this. This is the type of song I would add to my “Chill Music” playlist. I hear a hint of Amel, but not much. She reminds me more of Goapele. Her style is dope nontheless. It’s refreshing. I’ll make a mental note to check out more of her music later.

  39. greg

    very relaxing summery track

    i love it!

  40. supyall

    I guess Im the only person who thought this was wack.
    I think it needs more cleaning up and more production value.

  41. Hiphop Angel

  45. Tshombe

    I Love Stacy Epps!
    Her Music is not Only Entertaining, but Enlightening.
    A Source that we Definitely Need in this Time…
    I Am Anxiously Awaiting the Release of Her Divine Shine!!!

    Go Sol Uprise and ShyNe.

    One,
    Tshanti

  46. JACK

    I heard this song before on her MySpace page, it’s the shit! I think this was produced by Madlib, the producer who worked with J Dilla. She’s also a hip-hop artist too. You can hear more of her singing if you pick up MadVillain’s CD “Madvillainy.”

  47. yes

    her voice sounds familiar (a lil bit of mary j), that pic looks like fefe dobson

  48. peppychick

    i like it alot. The vibe is real chill. Can’t wait to hear more.

  49. I hear a Goapele influence more than Amel’s. Has anybody listened to Amel’s Lovely Standards? She killed those jazz standards.

  50. Mauikai

    Love the track sis! This is exactly what Hip Hop needs. Let em keep shining their light on th beautiful sistas representing this culture! Can’t wait for the album to drop. See you on the flipside ;)

  51. Anne Griffin

    I think the track is groovy. By the way what’s your relationship to Omar Epps. Your brother. Well any way sister. I think you are on your way to becoming a big star. Perserverance pays off.

  52. sweetthang05

    oh, she’s definitely hot, but no relation to Omar Epps, she’s half Asian i do believe. She’s super hot though, can’t wait for the album to drop
