Yared Kiflai

As the years pass it becomes more and more important to me to spread the vibes emerging from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've lived here for five years, and while I am no expert on the subject, it brings me great joy to expose Bay Area talent to the world. Enter Yared Kiflai, an Oakland artist whose debut single "CGH" is worth a spin or two or twelve. Today I'm sharing something a bit more on the R&B side of the spectrum, but no less vibrant, and no less telling of the talent Kiflai brings to the table. As Kiflai told Earmilk, "One morning, I found myself up earlier than usual when a good friend sent me the beat for '7:30.' The hook came to me the first time I listened to the track. Before long I had the groundworks to one of my favorite songs to date and it all came to me in one morning.” Look for "7:30" to appear on Yared's debut EP, which I suspect will be out by summer.
