“Keasha Beard seeks to impact the whole world with good energy and powerful potential,” says Respect My Region in their review of Soul Food. It “comes out the gate swinging with positive prose, bouncy drums, and driving hooks.” Solis Magazine notes how she “breathes optimism into the mic, emerging from a past of addiction and darkness, heavily endorsing love and peace,” while Beach Sloth adds to the praise: “Energetic to its very core, Soul Food shows off such swagger. A truly motivational spirit imbues every single piece. It has a tremendous vitality.”

Transform

At a time when we could all use some, Keasha Beard delivers a little well-timed faith with Transform. This is a solid rap record with smart verses and deft production from Moshae Beats. These 15-tracks seek truth and God and demonstrate defiance against hardship. A lot of them are also damn catchy celebrations of positivity, as the second track that chants “I MADE IT,” as a mantra of certainty. I remember listening to this on headphones and laying on the lawn at Volunteer Park, making shapes and figures from the wondrous clouds, and finding these narratives were speaking right to me. An eye-catching cover, too. It’s worth seeking this one out.
