Young M.A. lets matters of the heart guide her on SleepWalkin, the gritty production and her terse Brooklyn rapping style delivering tense, reflective tales. “And my lady can’t stand me/She don’t want nothin’ to do with me,” she raps on “Regular”; she spends “Through the Day” lamenting the death of her brother over a haunting vocal loop and spare beats. She’s sincere and intense, an everyday person working hard to nurse her wounds and find success.
