She most recently released holiday record “MERRY NOTHIN” as well as previous singles “JUST LIKE THAT” with Ari Lennox, “RIDIN” with Lil Wayne, “SHUT UP” with Big Sean, “JEANS” with Miguel – which garnered press praise from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Tonight, HotNewHipHop, American Songwriter, Uproxx, Stereogum, VIBE – as well as the release of her USA Today Best Selling book of poetry, Words of a Goat Princess. Last year, Reyez contributed to Netflix’s Rebel Moon soundtrack with “Child of Fire” single and delivered a unique rendition of “Is This Love” featured on the Bob Marley: One Love – Music Inspired by Film soundtrack, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album. |

In November, Reyez played Corona Capital festival in Mexico City, and in December, she joined a slew of live shows at arenas across the US on Jhené Aiko’s The Magic Hour Tour.
