The first lady of LuckyMe, 23-year-old Ciorsdan Brown is the rap singing starlet Nadsroic and her debut EP “Room Mist” is a stone cold stunner. Produced by the young phenom and recent Warp signing that is Hudson Mohawke, the collaboration sees Hud Mo’s more ethereal dirty North beats laced with the future class of Ciorsdan’s poetic, Highland street romancing. Currently teaching in Kagoshima, in the deep South of Japan, this is all city, all global, future RnB. Who’s the Luckiest?
