Lila Iké is undoubtedly one of the hottest new artists to emerge out of Jamaica. Blending the sounds of dancehall, hip-hop and R&B altogether for her own fusion, she's made quite the buzz for herself both nationally and internationally. Most recently, she released her debut EP, The ExPerience that gives everyone a glimpse into her unique sound. Laced up with seven songs in total, Lila said the project is "an experience of me, showing my versatility and the different tones, values and vibes of a woman. This is a mixture of songs influenced by reggae, but it does not define the sound."
