Key Points<\/p>\n
North West, 12, dropped her debut six-song EP, N0rth4evr, on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Perhaps inspired by her famous rapper father, Ye, North’s lyrics focus on money and luxury items.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
One of the songs, “H0w Sh0uld ! f33l,” samples an emo classic from 2006, “Monster,” by Meg & Dia.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
No one man should have all that power<\/a> \u2014 so Ye<\/a> is sharing the musical talent with his daughter, North West.<\/a><\/p>\n The 12-year-old just dropped her debut EP, N0rth4evr<\/a>, a collection of six rap-rock tracks she wrote and produced herself.<\/p>\n North West\u2019s \u2018N0rth4evr\u2019 EP cover Ye is obviously a big influence on North, whose lyrics boast about wealth, cars, and designer labels.<\/p>\n But another inspiration is a genre of music the rapper has occasionally experimented with: emo.<\/p>\n The opener, \u201cH0w Sh0uld ! f33l\u201d (\u201cHow Should I Feel\u201d), samples \u201cMonster\u201d by Meg & Dia<\/a>, sisters who scored a one-hit wonder back in 2006, years before North was a twinkle in her father\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n \u201cI been living in a shadow \/ All this money turn my heart into a black hole,\u201d the blue-haired artist rap-sings on the track. Several verses later, she laments it gets lonely \u201cin the back of the Lamb\u2019 (Lamborghini).\u201d<\/p>\n On the fourth song, \u201cTh!s t!m3,\u201d North tells listeners \u201cWelcome to your nightmare.” Two decades ago, Ye said, \u201cSee You in My Nightmares\u201d on 808s & Heartbreak.<\/p>\n Like her dad, North gets into her feelings. \u201cKnow it\u2019s been a hard time for me lately \/ I\u2019ve been deep in the dark you can\u2019t save me,\u201d she admits on title track \u201c#N0rth4evr.\u201d<\/p>\n Interestingly, on \u201cW0ah,\u201d she brags about \u201cBalenciaga everything,\u201d despite the French fashion label severing its ties<\/a> with Ye in 2022 following the controversial rapper\u2019s antisemitic remarks.<\/p>\n Ye and North West in 2020 Ye has yet to publicly share his thoughts on N0rth4evr, but he\u2019s been a mentor to his daughter for years.<\/p>\n At the age of 6, she made her music debut<\/a> at Paris Fashion Week in 2020. As models walked the runway at her father\u2019s Yeezy show, North stood onstage with a microphone performing an original song.<\/p>\n This year, she\u2019s popped up twice at Ye\u2019s concerts. In January, North surprised 40,000 fans at the Monumental Plaza de Toros in Tijuana with the first live performance of \u201cPiercing on My Hand.\u201d<\/p>\n It was an even bigger crowd at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where she staged two songs for the 70,000-member, sold-out crowd on April 1.<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <\/strong>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n North\u2019s equally famous mother, Kim Kardashian<\/a>, showed her support on Friday by posting links to listen to the EP and buy merchandise<\/a>, like a N0rth4evr-branded keychain, for her 352 million followers on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n![\"North](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/7497feb13c8d4c5ef40fe06859e7d287.jpeg\"\/)
