We had the good fortune of connecting with Riyah B. Ms Hood N Cklassy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Riyah B., what do you want your legacy to be?
I want people to remember me by how persistent, ambitious, and dedicated I am because no matter what I stay true to my mission I want my legacy to be about how I made my dreams a reality.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Easy not at all nothing worth having is easy and I still have not overcame it all but I persist thru life daily reminding myself of my mission n my mission is to heal n move souls thru song, I am a musical artist with a fun personality I’ve made people laugh and I’ve made people cry. I am different because I have no hidden agendas I am still pure in what I have to offer as an artist and a person, I’m genuine, humble yet raw determined n unapologetically me I do not conform but bend the rules and set the tone and the truth I always speak. I call myself Ms Hood N Cklassy for these reasons my brand is about classy meeting street as I believe u can’t have one without the other yet you can excel with both intertwined, I learned how important discipline n perseverance is while on this journey and how it is so vital to protect your energy as everyone does not have your best interest. I got here by again persistence but not taking no for an answer.
