Tkay Maidza releases new song 'Carry On' + announces debut album + New Zealand show!

Australian-based hip-hop artist Tkay Maidza has been busy! She just released a new song ‘Carry On’, featuring a verse from Killer Mike (one half of Run The Jewels), and has also just released details of her upcoming debut album, ‘TKAY’.

About ’Carry On’, she says: "The song is about people trying to stop my stride, but I guess what I'm trying to say is I have bigger issues that only matter to me as a youngin at this point in my career and Killer Mike is reinforcing that. I’ve loved Run the Jewels for ages as they were the first act I saw at my favourite touring festival Laneway Festival. It was super inspiring to see them.  We had the idea of having him on a song and reached out to his team, they were totally down. It turned out to be ‘Carry On’ :)”
 
“It was really cool that Mike listened to what I was saying in my verse as his verse is a conversation to mine... to him I must sound like I need guidance, and what he said was really reassuring and relevant for me. I think it's super important to have support from someone who has so much knowledge and experience in life and music... He is the first person who is a respected and loved rapper to have said they approve of what I do so having him on the song is super special.”

Her debut album ‘TKAY’ is set for release on October 28th, ahead of which she’ll play her first ever show in New Zealand on October 26th, at Auckland’s Cassette. Tickets are only available on the door, and it’s bound to be an incredible show!
