KARMA NOVA: BRONX-BORN, MIAMI-BASED HIP-HOP

For Bronx-born, Miami-based artist Karma Nova, music isn’t just a calling—it’s her weapon, story, and revolution. Her latest single, “Do That Sh*t”—out now via Karma Nova Records—features the legendary Miami production and songwriting duo Cool & Dre, showcasing her raw energy and unmistakable gift. As a single mother unshakably dedicated to her passion, the next-up talent is reviving old-school hip-hop with a message, forging her place as a formidable force in the music world and beyond.

“Do That Sh*t” puts Karma Nova’s bold, unapologetic style front and center. With a reimagined spin on 2 Hyped Brothers & A Dog’s ’90s classic “Doo Doo Brown, Cool & Dre transform the iconic Miami bass track into a modern-day earworm. The track’s heavy bassline, pounding 808s, and frenetic rhythm set the stage for Karma’s raw hooks and provocative lyricism—so powerful that rap heavyweight Busta Rhymes labeled her a “genius.” Lines like, “Don’t be trynna come for me when I’m just getting money / You gotta walk bigger shoes just to get like me / You gotta open LLCs just to take your seat,” cement her as an attention-demanding voice.

Born and raised in The Bronx, NY, Karma Nova moved to Miami six years ago to pursue her sonic aspirations. With her younger brother’s encouragement, she stepped into the studio for the first time, full of promise but determined to hone her craft and find her voice. Since then, she has earned her stripes at Cool & Dre’s studios, recording alongside legends like Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe. Known for her deep, throaty vocals and bold, unapologetic style, Karma has already left her mark, including a standout feature on Fat Joe’s latest project. Her six-track collaboration with Cool & Dre has already amassed 2 million streams and counting, exemplifying her status as a rising star in the music industry.
