Rap-Up.com || Video: Jhené Aiko

Jhené Aiko poured her heart out with a touching tribute to her late brother. While her tears are still drying, she faces an inner battle in the artistic video for “3:16AM.” The 24-year-old singer, who was named one of Rap-Up.com’s 10 Aritsts to Watch in 2012, shows off her striking beauty in the forest, on the beach, and as she soaks in a pool of water.

The L.A. native gained buzz with the release of her 2011 mixtape Sailing Souls and is signed to Island Def Jam, where she will release her debut album.

@Cranberry, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I dare you to listen to the songs from Sailing Soul(s) or take into consideration that this is coming from her, no team of lyricist to make her songs, no team of publicist to tell her how to portray herself and no major label telling her what type of songs to make, this is just a girl with something to say. I think she’s a really talented girl and I’m glad her music hasn’t been tainted by the creative box that labels bring. #SouledOut

This chick is the truth so refreshing even the video has an appeal that matches Jhene’s unique style. She is like a souled out R & b hippie chick and the music and lyrics are completely inspiring
