Isatta Sheriff + Koralle - Will They Try (Single)

Isatta Sheriff and Koralle are back from playing the MPM Label Nights in Hamburg, Cologne and Berlin (together with KeepVibesNear, Harvey Whyte, FloFilz & Twit One), just in time to release their single ‘Will They Try’. It's the third single from the upcoming EP Eat The Kiwi Skin by the East London MC and the Bologna based beat smith. Through her purposeful lyrics which Isatta has become renowned for, we witness her poetically reflect on her battles to get to this point in her musical career.

“This is the most important track on the EP as it addresses the exploitation of Black women in hip hop, and the exploration of hip hop in general. We have started to talk about the countless Black female singers and songwriters in dance and hip hop music who go uncredited in the U.K, and I wanted to extend the conversation to Black female rappers and explore the racial politics and misogynoir connected to this. People often ask the same questions regarding women’s position in hip hop, and I ask ‘will they try to understand’ the full scope of the problem and then DO something, because the conversation is stuck and needs to progress.” - Isatta
