Like U did (me)
With "Like U Did (Me)," Karma continues her artistic evolution toward a more pop-leaning sound, building on the momentum she set with the releases of “Feel some way” in 2023 and "You So Nasty" in 2022. Known previously for her nasal rap delivery over hard-hitting trap beats, Karma is now exploring smoother melodies and catchy hooks, blending hip-hop sensibilities with pop elements.
This shift reflects her desire to expand creatively, crafting songs that are both radio-friendly and deeply personal. “Like U Did (Me)” captures this new direction, balancing emotional vulnerability with infectious rhythms, signaling the growth of an artist unafraid to push her boundaries.

Fallout
"Fallout," written by Karma Rivera during the George Floyd protests in August 2020, is an anthem of resilience. With lyrics like “I’m ride or die till the wheels fall out / Still show you love if we fall out,” the song reflects Karma's commitment to personal integrity and perseverance, even in times of conflict or uncertainty.
The hook emphasizes loyalty, self-reliance, and a tireless work ethic, encapsulating the spirit of staying true to oneself amid social challenges within ones own community.
