Exclusive Interview with Rising Artist ‘Egypt’ known as ‘Egypt The Goddess’

Interviewer: Please, introduce yourself?
Hello my name is Egypt also known as Egypt The Goddess on social platforms, IG is @egyptthegoddess_ I’m an upcoming Egyptian r&b singer from NY.
Interviewer: What got you into music and made you realize that it was your chosen path?
I been interested in music since I was a little girl. My mom said I could sing before I could talk, literally. Always humming trying to sing. Music has always been something I’m extremely passionate about it. It’s always been an escape from reality for me. What ever hardships I was goin thru as a child & even today. as soon as I put my headphones in and sing I’d tune the entire world out
Interviewer: Tell us about your new single. And what’s the story behind it?
My new single “Riding thru ya city” is about my journey on traveling from city to city after I packed up what little i had in New York and just said fuck it, I don’t have nothing to lose right now. I’m living a life I don’t want. I wanna take all the risk for the life I do want, I got on the road to start hustling how ever I could & networking and getting my name known out there. I know my destiny and I’m not gonna stop til I reach the top. It also talks about mainly what I do it for. My family. I wanna change our lives for ever and future generations to come. My parents always told me I was born to be a star and I’m different. They’ve always held me at the level and told me I should hold myself to that level too. And always chase my dreams. That with god, faith & confidence I can do anything I desire in this life. Which I have and will.
Interviewer: What makes your music unique?
What makes my music unique is not only am I the first Egyptian American r&b artist, but I incorporate a lot of spirituality in my music like how god is always by my side and my family and they will be the reason I get to where I’m going. How I’m a boss and a loyal ride or die person for anyone around me. How I’ve sacrificed myself for those around me to achieve a life of fortune for us. I’m not the typical female artist you’re used to hearing nowadays. I will accomplish everything I desire in this life on my own from straight hustling, not ass kissing or riding someone else wave for clout. I am the wave. I also don’t need no man to get me to the top either. I rely on no one. I’ve done this journey completely alone, pure hustle and hard work. It is very hard as a female in this industry but like I said I will never stop!
Interviewer: What advice would you give to aspiring musicians?
I would advise you guys of course to never give up, but also hustle! Go outside. You never know who you will meet. Try something new in your life, new cities. New people. New things. Get out of your comfort zone. Don’t just go outside waiting for things to happen. MAKE THEM HAPPEN. speak about yourself and your brand like you’re already where you want to be. You have to believe it so others can. Confidence is key. Make sure youre always 100% confident in yourself when speaking on your work. YOURE YOUR OWN BRAND. not just your music. Your entire persona. go outside and mingle and network with other artists, upcoming and ones you wanna be like. Talk. Ask questions. Study them. Don’t ever let nobody bring you down.
Take personal days to self cleanse so when you’re back outside your sociableness and confidence is back up to 100%. Always be real. And humble. Always trust your gut about people. Stand on business. Never let anyone play you like a fool. Always be open minded. Your reputation will always stay with you forever. Remember that. Don’t let people think they can control your emotions. Be vulnerable in your music only. When you’re outside act like your favorite celebrity. Until you are your favorite celebrity.
Interviewer: And any particular artist/band you would like to collaborate with in the future?
Definitely Tory lanez, The Weeknd, Drake, Brent faiyez, future, young thug, lil baby, lil Wayne, Kali uchis. & some NY artists of course like nicki Minaj, Dave East , ice spice, melii
Interviewer: Any upcoming projects?
Yes I’m glad you asked. I’m working on an ep coming soon within the next few months. A mini album so you can get to know more about me. Has alot of great songs on there I’m so excited for you guys to hear like the single that’s already going crazy on social media “For U” from the little snippet I released. A lot of great things coming soon. Stay tuned! 😊

Leilani Kristina: A Force of Art, Activism, and Ancestral Power

Some artists entertain. Others inspire. But every so often, a singular presence emerges—one who does both, and so much more. Leilani Kristina is that presence: a fearless creative, a truth-teller, and a living bridge between culture, art, and justice.
A true polymath in the modern age, Leilani is a published model, gifted singer-songwriter, dancer, and passionate Indigenous rights advocate. Her path is not just one of performance—it’s one of purpose. She isn’t simply chasing fame; she’s building a platform for expression, healing, and impact.
Ancestral Legacy, Artistic Fire
At the heart of Leilani’s artistic expression lies her deep-rooted Indigenous heritage. Her performances aren’t just acts of creativity—they’re acts of remembrance. In Nanyehi, a musical staged by Tulsa Theater, she portrayed Betsey Ward, a descendant of her own ancestor, Nancy Ward (Nanyehi), a revered Cherokee woman and peacekeeper. Sharing the stage with Hollywood icon Wes Studi, Leilani brought her family’s history to life in a way that was both emotional and empowering.
This wasn’t just a role—it was a reclamation. Through her portrayal, she honored the resilience of her lineage and connected her audience to stories often excluded from the mainstream narrative.
Runways with a Message
Leilani’s influence stretches far beyond the theater. On the catwalk, she brings her cultural pride and commanding presence to international fashion weeks in Milan, New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Her look is striking, but it’s the message behind the walk that truly sets her apart.
She doesn’t just model clothes—she models courage, authenticity, and representation. Leilani challenges narrow beauty standards by standing unapologetically in her identity. With each show, she redefines what it means to be seen and celebrated in an industry still learning how to embrace diversity.
A Sound that Speaks Volumes
In the music world, Leilani Kristina delivers more than catchy hooks—she delivers truth. Her original songs, distributed through United Masters, are rich with emotion and intention. Themes of strength, healing, love, and resistance pulse through every lyric, creating a soundscape that resonates deeply with listeners navigating their own struggles.
Her upcoming album promises even more depth, offering sonic experiences that serve as both refuge and rallying cry. Through her voice, Leilani isn’t just singing—she’s speaking directly to those who feel unheard.
Lights, Camera, Impact
Hollywood is beginning to recognize what audiences already feel: Leilani Kristina is a star in every sense. She’s performed at major industry events like the BET Awards Weekend and Big Game Weekend, capturing attention from influential circles in film and music. With auditions for high-profile roles such as Moana and Juliet in a musical adaptation, she’s poised for a breakout in film and television.
But Leilani’s rise in Hollywood isn’t about fitting in—it’s about breaking through. She represents the stories and voices that have long been missing from the screen. Her presence is not just refreshing—it’s necessary.
An Advocate First
Beyond the spotlight, Leilani is a powerful voice in advocacy. Drawing from her lived experience, she speaks on the realities of human trafficking, gender-based violence, and human rights abuses with rare honesty and conviction. Her activism is informed, urgent, and deeply personal.
Whether on stage, in interviews, or through her social media, Leilani uses every tool at her disposal to raise awareness and inspire action. She doesn’t seek attention—she seeks justice.
Defining Her Own Legacy
With representation by ADR Agency and Urge Management, Leilani Kristina continues to blaze her own trail—on her own terms. She’s not following trends or chasing validation. She’s telling stories, amplifying truths, and holding space for those often left out of the conversation.
Leilani isn’t just rising—she’s lifting others as she climbs.

Because Leilani Kristina is more than a name.
She’s more than a performer.
She is a living movement—a beacon of culture, creativity, and change in a world hungry for all three.

Kyng Pariah on Faith, Fire, and the Future of Hip-Hop

In a musical era often consumed by clout and commercialism, Kyng Pariah steps onto the scene with something more enduring: truth. Not the kind filtered for algorithmic favor, but an abstract, spiritual, and fire-forged truth rooted in faith, pain, and purpose.
Keeping It Abstract, Keeping It Real
“I want to keep the abstractness in my sound and creativity—if that makes any sense to you like it does to me,” Kyng explains.
And it does make sense—for those listening with more than just their ears. His music isn’t designed to be overly polished or industry-molded. It’s made to breathe, to sting, to heal. Every beat carries his fingerprint, every lyric shaped by both chaos and clarity. His upcoming releases aren’t just albums; they’re experiences—spiritually charged expressions of survival, soul, and sound.
Vulnerability Meets Resilience
There’s no performance in Kyng’s pain. Just presence.
Balancing vulnerability and resilience isn’t a contradiction—it’s a calling. “My father always told me, ‘Never tell someone anything that will hurt you.’ So I don’t,” he shares. “But I still want people to know they’re not alone.”
This isn’t trauma for applause. It’s truth for connection. Kyng’s vulnerability is sacred—shared only to bridge, never to break.
Collaborations & Creative Alignment
When Kyng talks dream collabs—Tupac, Kendrick, Lupe, Pharrell, Nas—you understand his ethos. “It’s the poetry behind the human spitting the bars,” he says. “They redesigned Hip-Hop with intellect and soul.”
As founder of Team Dork Nation, Kyng takes collaboration seriously. “Authenticity, transparency, communication—those are my non-negotiables. The energy has to be right.”
This is art with intention, not ego.
The Message Behind the Music
Kyng doesn’t write from ego. He writes from spirit. Every track is a message in a bottle—reaching out to those who’ve battled doubt, trauma, identity, or silence.
His mission? To speak life into people who feel like outsiders. The misfits. The dreamers. The survivors. “It’s about the story behind the human who creates it,” he says. And Kyng’s story is one of redemption, resistance, and relentless faith.
Upcoming Releases to Watch:
- Brown Skin Kids – June 19, 2025
- Finna Trip – September 12, 2025
- F.A.F.O. Starter Pack – January 30, 2026
- God Given Gift 2 – TBA
Plus, new beats and visuals dropping monthly on YouTube @TeamDorkNation
“Kyng of Pariahs” – A Title Reimagined
“I’m the reject but the original design.”
That’s how Kyng defines the phrase “Kyng of Pariahs.” It’s not ego—it’s empowerment. A bold reclamation of identity. The “Y” in Kyng? That’s not just style. It stands for youthful spirit, eternal creativity, and nonconformity.
His identity holds duality—masculine and feminine energy, light and shadow, seriousness and play. It’s not a brand. It’s a movement.
Words for the Warriors
To every artist hustling through hardship, Kyng has this to say:
“Stay invested in your health—physical, mental, and emotional. Stay authentic. Allow yourself to forgive… especially yourself. Stay eager to learn and grow. Take time for yourself. You owe it to YOU to be great. You will achieve your goals. Don’t stop working—it’ll pay off. Be blessed.”
A Movement, not a Moment
In a world thirsty for something real, Kyng Pariah offers the Abstract Truth: Hip-Hop is still holy. Still healing. Still evolving. And with Kyng behind the mic, the genre’s future sounds spiritually raw, unapologetically Black, and beautifully fearless.
Stay tuned. The revolution is real—and it’s wearing a crown.
