The freestyle from December last year marked Steff’s first time on GRM Daily and she left her mark with her sharp bars resulting in over a half million views on the video. In the new visual Steff gives us bad girl vibes in the first half with four supremely dressed versions of herself sitting around a poker table taking turns to spit rhymes into the swiftly revolving camera. She seamlessly switches up her flow on the sexy second verse telling us, “Badboys ain’t no good for me/But I love a badman, who can hold his piece/Yeah, I love a badman who can hold his streets/Yeah, I love a badman who can hold the sheets”. For this section, Steff serves body lying on a podium with a snake whilst brass three piece create a catchy beat.

Stephanie Victoria Allen, better known as Stefflon Don, was born in Birmingham but age five moved to the Netherlands and as a result is fluent in Dutch. The rapper has been singing and writing music since primary school and at the age of nine, she recorded a ‘Hard Knock Life’ hook for rapper U-Niq. At 14, she moved to London. Prior to fame, she worked as a cake decorator and hairdresser. Her 2017 single ‘Hurtin’ Me’ featuring French Montana caught the attention of the internet and peaked at number 7 on UK Singles Chart. Since then she’s worked with big names on the scene including KSI, Lil Yachty, Jax Jones, Demi Lovato, RAYE, Becky Hill, Charli XCX, and Little Mix.

See below for all the deets on how we styled the star as well as how you can tweak pieces to inspire your own fits.

The Pink Puffer Princess

We put Steff in this stunning Arctic Army pink puffer for the first poker table look. The snowy white fur hood with the dripping FPM Eyewear headpiece and chains from 4 Element creates the perfect regal look for the women in charge of the table. The monochrome pink fit is complete with this dusty pink corset and holey leggings from Poster Girl.

The “Bank Robber” Baddie

London College of Fashion graduate Iga Kampa designed this breath-taking black leather outfit that with its interesting silhouette makes Stefflon look a powerful and commanding figure.

Tinashe – ‘Naturally’

Bringing her wildest visions to life, Tinashe becomes a crazy cowgirl who will stop at nothing to win her bloody valentine’s heart. The track itself is bursting with groove and funk, creating an uplifting sound that has us feeling ready for sunny days. 

Mahalia – ‘Letter To Ur Ex’

Voicing our relationship struggles this week is Mahalia, with a relatable retrospective song that reminds us that difficulties involving exes are a shared experience. Although lyrically the track touches on a sad topic, sonically you are left feeling elevated due to the enchanting hip-hop production. 

Alicia Keys, Fivio Foreign, and Kanye West – ‘City of Gods’

Kanye has hit headlines for a multitude of reasons in the past few weeks, but for us, this track is the highlight of all of his latest innings with the press. Bringing a sound reminiscent to early 2010s rap, ‘City of Gods’ blends Alicia’s powerhouse vocals and piano ballad style with an infectious Hip-Hop beat and hard-hitting verses courtesy of Fivio Foreign and Kanye West. 

Stefflon Don – Like That

We can always rely on Stefflon Don to bring the heat, and ‘Like That’ is no exception. Declaring that self-love is at the forefront of Steff’s mind, she sings “I ain’t met nobody hard as me”. This is the energy we will be channelling into spring 2022! 

MORGAN – You’re Worth It

In this affirmation anthem, MORGAN has us reflecting on our self worth whilst bringing a tropical beat to life. The video further champions the song’s message, with a diverse cast presented in vulnerable states at the start of the video, in contrast to the end where they are dancing and feeling more confident after realising they are worth it. With every listen, we take something positive away from this song.

RoRo – Ladies 

When you blend empowering lyrics with an infectious groove and intriguing production, you can’t help but feel your mood improve as you listen to the results. ‘Ladies’ by Roro does just this and has us feeling ready to take on whatever life throws at us!

The post Issue 28: Make Your Mark Featuring Stefflon Don appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Just in time for summer, this exclusive collection ranges from £10-£35 and sizes 6-24 making it accessible to every female who wants in on the British rappers iconic pieces.

Dancehall superstar, Stefflon Don collaborated closely with the design team at boohoo, taking inspiration from her own personal style and the catwalk trends to bring us 70+ savage pieces. The collection definitely isn’t for the faint-hearted but we love how she’s pushed the boundaries. We’re talking race track stripes, bold colours, graphic slogans and dollar prints that are super stylish and ready to make a statement.

It’s althleisure with an urban twist that reflects her strong, fearless persona to a tee. Snap up the new collection on boohoo.com/stefflon-don

Voir’s Female Empowerment Cover star, RAYE, proves that loving what you do and hard work really does pay off as her career leaps from strength to strength. She’s back after the success of her hit ‘Decline’ and a BRIT Award nomination for ‘Best Single’ with Jax Jones, with her brand new single ‘Cigarette’ featuring Mabel and Stefflon Don.

A collaboration for RAYE with Mabel and Stefflon Don shows a big step forward in her career and pushes her further towards what she told us was her ultimate goal of going “number one in every single country”.

Listen here:

RAYE’s ‘Decline’, ‘Finders Keepers’ by Mabel and Stefflon Don’s ‘Hurtin’ Me’ are all UK Top 15 singles and ‘Cigarette’ is part of a broader project that will be released in the near future. RAYE’S collection is culturally relevant, informed by working closely with artists as she continues pushing to become the “biggest and best” that she can be whilst solidifying her position in UK music.

RAYE’s music demonstrates a genuine love for what she does and the success of her UK Silver certified single ‘Decline’ – which is still on the Capital playlist and remained on the Radio 1 A List for 8 weeks – is a clear example of this. For most of 2017 she performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude and V Festival and with nearly 75 million streams of her music, it’s no surprise that the likes of John Legend, Charli XCX, Nas, Little Mix, Snakehips, Julia Michaels, Blood Pop, Ellie Goulding, Diplo and Naughty Boy have all worked alongside RAYE as a songwriter to create new music.

RAYE is clearly taking the advice that she shared with Voir, seeking out “opportunities” and working hard to become the best, most successful artist that she can be, proving why she was the perfect choice to be the cover girl for our Female Empowerment Issue.

The post RAYE: The Force Continues appeared first on Voir Fashion.

2017 has been a great year for music, both from established artists and fresh talent. As the year draws to a close, we are thinking ahead to 2018 and the artists that are shaking things up…….a lot.

Female empowerment is present, and here we feature the talented British music artists who will be achieving greater things in the year to come.

STEFFLON DON

Signing a huge record contract, creating her album, and working with some of the biggest names including Drake, it is fair to say 2017 has been a huge year for Stefflon Don. 2018 is also looking bright, and we are excited to see what this next great hip-hop star will release.

Take a look at Stefflon Don’s recent collaboration with Skepta below

NADIA ROSE

Shortlisted for BBC’s Sound of 2017, and the release of successful singles, Nadia Rose has started to rise in the UK rap scene. With 2017 heralding great beginnings, we are looking forward to new releases in 2018.

Check out Nadia Rose’s feature on Da BeatFreakz song, More Money

MABEL

With an impressive and international heritage, it is no surprise that Mabel also shares the talents of her double Brit-winning, Ivor Novello and Grammy-nominated mother, Neneh Cherry. But Mabel is making her own way in music, something we are excited to see continue in 2018.

MS BANKS

An artist who has brought her unique perspective to the Grime scene, Ms Banks has continued to remind us why she is a rising star. After a shout out from Nicki Minaj in 2017, we imagine 2018 could be the year Ms Banks’ popularity continues to grow.

RAYE

Our Issue 20 cover star for the female empowerment issue, Raye is not your average artist. Bending the rules, she is fast-becoming one of the hottest voices in pop and we believe her rise will continue into 2018.

JORJA SMITH

With charisma, skill and talent, we are not surprised Jorja Smith’s career has really picked up. After being shortlisted for BBC’S Sound of 2017, she has continued her musical growth, collaborating with some of the biggest names. Already beginning 2018 by winning the BRITS Critics Choice, we can’t wait to see what 2018 will bring.

IAMDDB

Up-and-coming in music, IAMDDB, is starting to make her name known in the industry. From song-writing to music videos, IAMDDB is in control, sharing experiences, life and empowerment within her music.
