Jaeda: 'Light Up the Moment' Album Release Show with Kung Fu Vinyl, ExZac Change & Mattisse, DJ Naomi

Musical longevity doesn’t carry much weight if an artist merely rests on their laurels. Thankfully, that’s certainly not the case for Jaeda. The first lady of Spokane hip-hop has been making noise and busting white girl rap cliches for over two decades (heck, she was an established figure when the Inlander profiled her in a “Bands to Watch” issue back in 2010), but she still hasn’t lost a step, as her new album Light Up the Moment showcases. Over an array of electro-beats the MC fiercely flaunts her authentic bona fides with swagger for days on bangers like “Jump!” and “I’m That Bitch.” Jaeda celebrates the new album dropping with a Knitting Factory party with her friends and fellow local standouts like Kung Fu Vinyl and ExZac Change & Matisse.
