Kelela’s debut project Cut 4 Me was released on Oct 1st, 2013 by Fade To Mind via soundcloud. It was universally acclaimed and made the “best of” lists for outlets such as Complex, Emusic, Urban Outfitters, The Guardian, Time Out London, Spin, & Time. Many of the instrumentals are a mutable hybrid of grime and R&B, known as Rhythm & Grime, and post dubstep; influenced by British artists she was able to work with directly at the time.
