New Music: Teyana Taylor – ‘The Miseducation of Teyana Taylor’ [Mixtape]


Following the failure of “Google Me” and the subsequent shelving of her debut album, many, myself included, questioned Teyana Taylor’s purpose. Is she a singer? Rapper? Actress? Socialite? Where the hell did she come from? — Questions like these weren’t uncommon and still hold true today.  The 21-year-old puts all the questions to rest with the release of The Miseducation of Teyana Taylor,  her new mixtape.

The 15-track free download, which features guest spots from Wale, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Travis Porter and Honey Cocaine, is impressive. What I found most impressive is that for someone whose career thus far is defined by blogs, ‘leaked’ nude pictures, and well, this, she is able to craft 15 tracks that almost make you forget you’re listening to a Teyana Taylor mixtape. Shocking, right? I know.  Hell, I’m surprised I was able to type that without rolling my eyes.

I’m all for oral attention, but this song is ga’bage. Not to mention, the album is arriving nearly a year after “In the Dark” reached its peak. We know how this story is going to end.
