Mycah's Pick, Vol. 2: Still young, still vibing, still got it.
Because good music deserves good ears—and these got mine.
I knew this series had the potential to grow into something special. What I didn’t expect was how quickly the community would start building itself.
After posting a TikTok review of my first weekly picks, an artist reached out asking if I’d consider reviewing their work. They weren’t just looking for a shoutout. They were looking for connection. That reminded me that people are still craving spaces where music is listened to with care.
I also shared the post with the artist I featured last week. She had a lot to say. She reposted it, showed genuine love, and thanked me for really listening. That moment made me pause.
This isn’t just a playlist. It’s becoming a conversation. And that’s exactly what I hoped for when I started Mycah’s Pick. A place where emerging voices are celebrated. Where listeners rediscover their love for lyrics. Where music doesn’t just play in the background—it speaks.
So here we are. Another week, another five songs that caught my ear and held my heart.
💎 Underrated Gem
Let me be real. When I pressed play on The Introduction by Ki’Amora, I wasn’t expecting to run through the whole EP in one sitting. But that’s exactly what happened. No skips. No shakes. Just well-crafted R&B with clean vocals, a sharp pen and real intention behind every track.
“Scammer Luv” was the one that had me hooked. It plays on the melody of T-Pain’s “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper)” but with a twist that feels fun, fresh and completely hers. The hook is catchy. The production is polished. And her delivery is on point.
She balances playfulness and control in a way that feels effortless. The writing is clever. The vibe is locked in. And it is the kind of song you run back before it even finishes.
What I love most is how clear her voice is, both sonically and artistically. She knows her sound and she is moving with intention. If you are looking for a rising R&B girlie who delivers every time, this is the one to tap into.
✍🏾 My Song of the Week
I wrote this song while literally braiding my hair. One of those quiet moments where everything slows down just enough for your thoughts to come through clearly. “How We Do” came from a place of real pride. Not just in myself, but in my friends too.
Every single one of us is doing what we said we would do with our lives. We’ve got motion in our own lanes, and I’m proud of all of us for that. For staying grounded. For growing. For showing up with purpose.
From the opening line—“Peaceful melody’s the remedy when I’m doing my hair”—to the last chorus, this song is full of soft ambition and real-life reflection. It’s about friendship, womanhood and everything that happens behind the scenes while we’re still becoming.
I didn’t write this to prove anything. I wrote it to honor everything. It’s not flashy. It’s familiar. And if you’ve ever been in a season of quiet wins, this one is for you.
More than anything, I hope this song makes people feel something. Because whether it’s a lyric I write, an article I publish or an interview I give, that’s the goal every time. To move someone. To resonate.
And maybe, if I keep going, one day they’ll know my name across the skies and oceans.
🌟 Mainstream Hit
“Make a Scene” by The OMG Girlz
I grew up in the OMG Girlz and Mindless Behavior era, so hearing new music from them feels like a full-circle moment. But what I love most about “Make a Scene” is how mature it sounds—like the natural evolution of girls who grew up, got quiet for a minute and came back better than ever.
Their harmonies on this track are stunning. The production is smooth. The songwriting is elevated. They’re not chasing a trend. They’re just owning who they are now—and that makes the record even stronger.
What really gets me is how confidently they step back into the spotlight. This song is proof that the hiatus was just a pause, not a stop. They’re still young. Still gifted. And clearly, they’ve still got more to say.
If you were part of that early 2010s wave like I was, this one’s going to hit in a different kind of way. It’s grown, graceful and still gives you that same “OMG” feeling—just all grown up.
💿 Throwback Classic
“Like 'Em All” by Jacob Latimore ft. Diggy Simmons
This one right here? A classic. I’ve always loved this song. Jacob Latimore and Diggy Simmons had me in a light little crush era when this dropped, and listening back now still makes me smile.
“Like 'Em All” was one of those perfect tween love songs. Flirty but respectful. Catchy but clean. It was the kind of track you could blast with your friends or secretly dedicate to your middle school boo. That balance is rare now.
These days, it feels like we went straight from Gracie’s Corner to Sexyy Red. And while I love her too—shout out to Sexyy—the kids deserve that in-between space we had. Songs that let us be soft and curious, without growing us up too fast.
Jacob’s voice, the melody, the message. It was giving teenage heartthrob with real talent, and this song holds up. A perfect snapshot of that early 2010s era when R&B was still sweet.
🎲 Wildcard Pick
I did not grow up on mainstream hip-hop. For me, it was always R&B and DMV music. No in between, unless the 808s hit the way they do back home. And nothing captures that sound better than Go-Go.
“Roll Call” by CCB has always been one of my favorites. It is the only kind of music that makes me want to move my body, and I do not even dance like that. But Go-Go has a way of getting into your system. It is electric. It is cultural. It is the sound of home.
There is a joy in it. A rhythm that lives deep in the DMV, where we do not need a reason to turn up. We just need a beat like this one. When I am missing home, when I need to feel connected, this is the song I turn to.
“Roll Call” is more than a throwback. It is a reminder that D.C. created something nobody else can replicate. And no matter where I go, that beat will always live in me.
And just like that, another week of Mycah’s Pick is in the books.
From DMV classics to fresh new heat, these are the songs that stuck with me and made me feel something—and that’s always the goal. Whether it’s a lyric, a vibe or a full-body memory, I’m curating for connection.
If one of these found its way into your rotation, let me know. I love hearing what resonates with y’all the most. And if there’s a song or artist you think I need to hear, drop it in the comments or hit me on socials. The Muse is always listening.
Until next time, turn your speakahs up and keep feeling deeply.
