Inayah is one of R&B's most fearless storytellers. With a combination of unshakeable Southern-fried swag and impassioned vocals, the singer/songwriter/actress uses her gifts to share heartfelt stories about relationships, owning one's confidence and navigating through faith. Her newest album Wait, There's More (out April 19th via EMPIRE Records) captures the beauty of the multi-dimensional woman, embracing the flaws, tenderness and unapologetic sass. "For the Streets", the lead single of Wait, There's More, is an undeniably disruptive take on a modern-day R&B classic. Sampling Fantasia's 2006 "When I See U", first single, "For the Streets" is a powerful declaration of breaking the shackles of toxic relationships.

(Storytelling Over Lyrics and Rhymes) which amassed over 635. 6M streams, featuring the RIAA Gold and Platinum-certified hit "Best Thing".
