North West is stepping into the music scene, taking inspiration from her father, Kanye West.
At just 12 years old, North has ventured into the world of music production and recently received a production credit for a new track by 16-year-old Lil Novi, the offspring of Lil Wayne and singer Nivea.
The song, titled “Justswagup,” features artist MAG!C alongside Lil Novi, whose birth name is Neal Carter. North showcased the track’s beat on her Instagram Stories, highlighting its dark, bass-heavy sound and trap influences that complement Lil Novi’s gritty vocal style.
Reactions to the song have been varied. Some listeners have applauded North’s production skills, while others have raised concerns about Lil Novi’s lyrics, which delve into mature themes such as partying, drug use, and affluence. This has sparked an online debate about whether such topics are fitting for artists of their age.
Previously, North has been seen performing with her father at concerts and listening events, even joining him on stage. Her foray into music production signals an expanding interest in creative pursuits beyond just performing.
