Single: Hard to Love Somebody (Arlissa v. Nas)


Arlissa and Nas team up in 'Hard to Love Somebody', a pop hit that's just as impressive as the story behind the collabo of the two artists.

According to the story, after listening to the track from a publisher, the Queensbridge rapper was so psyched up he flew Arlissa to LA just to record a collabo in person.

"The whole experience was completely surreal, my ex was obsessed by Nas, and we used to listen to him all the time." "He just makes you feel so comfortable.” "It wasn’t until I was on the plane home that I suddenly realised, '****, I just did a track with Nas. It’s been an incredible opportunity." - Arlissa

The track itself is based on the subject of a relationship gone bad. Arlissa's showcases her amazing voice on the hook worthy enough to label her as the next big thing. Nas also does justice to the track with his signature effortless flow exemplified with lines like:

"...lick you off my lips like salt and vinegar chips...but now you act salty...verbally you assault me"

The simplicity and grace of the track is matched by its official music video showing the beautiful Arlissa and the HipHop legend going at it.

After listening to her previous track, 'Sticks and Stones', who's to say Arlissa is not the next big thing?
