In one corner you have Deeyah the exotic and sassy princess of the East also dubbed the Muslim Madonna by the UK media. In the other corner is Young Maylay hard edged from the merciless streets of LA also the actor/voice in GTA San Andreas game.
Both talented artists in their own rights have now joined forces and come together to create ‘What Will It Be?’.
The beat of ‘What Will It Be?’ is sexy and seductive yet the lyrical content that Deeyah and Young Maylay present in the song is tough, thought provoking, controversial and very much a sign of the turmoil filled times we are all living in. The lyrical content is already creating controversy and waves within certain circles of the Muslim communities for it’s direct, truthful and extremely defiant and rebellious tone and delivery.
In a time where more socially and politically conscious music and attitude is needed within popular culture – here we go, Deeyah and Young Maylay provide exactly what the doctor ordered and are creatively a truly deadly combo! May we hear more music and messages like this from these two and others in the near future.
We eagerly await the music video for ‘What Will It Be?’ as it’s already rumored to be even more controversial, hard hitting, edgy and sexy.
