As 2015 was coming to a close, I had a team meeting and we all decided that we need to feature more women on UpcomingHipHop.net. Shortly after our meeting, I was at Team Backpack's LAX to JFK cypher series event watching emcee after emcee torch the mic. (You can watch the video below as well) A few artists stood out and one of them was Flo Kennedy. The Harlem artist brought everything I look for in a cypher. Bars and confident delivery. We connected and I got her links. In "The Panorama" Flo Kennedy teams up with Pro Era's producer, HansSOLO, for a dope track. Through witty wordplay and vivid imagery, she tells the story of an artist who battles the pros and cons that comes with making music. At the end, the artist accepts the pros and cons for what they are now views life as a "panorama": an unbroken view of beautiful events.

This is what our other writer Eve had to say about the track. "Airy, light, and delicate, beats greet us immediately, competitively, accompanied by brutal bars from 22 year old, Flo Kennedy. Comical yet swift, her rhymes are instantaneously impressive, making me wonder, how have I only caught word of Flo now? Produced by Denmark’s HansSOLO, "The Panorama" dissects the beauties and struggle of an artist, let alone as a female in the game - “I’m complex, complexion my femininity is my context.” Flo Kennedy reps skill with ease, proving her presence of flow, meshing on a variety of beats, creating her very own pedestal to preach from. With a small sampling of dope tracks, I’m in high anticipation of first project, "The He(art) EP" due out this year."
