Samara Cyn explores mental chaos on “Bad Brain,” her genre-blurring new single out now.

One of hip-hop’s most magnetic newcomers, Samara Cyn returns with her latest track, “Bad Brain”—a hypnotic blend of soul, rap, and introspection. Produced by Whit Kane, the single draws from Thee Sacred Souls’ “Can I Call You Rose?” to deliver a sonic meditation on the anxiety-fueled modern experience.

“Bad Brain” continues Samara’s streak of deeply thoughtful releases. “The song speaks to the battle with the anxieties and distractions of life,” she shares, offering a vulnerable glimpse into her own struggles and reflections.

Currently on tour supporting Smino on his Kountry Kousins Tour, Samara has taken her artistry to the stage, winning over fans with every performance. The tour runs through June 22 and marks a significant moment in her upward trajectory.

Since her debut The Drive Home—a Complex Best Album of 2024—Samara Cyn has captured industry attention. She’s earned spots on nearly every major artist-to-watch list, including YouTube Foundry, Spotify RADAR, and Amazon Music’s Artists to Watch.

Her COLORS performance, alongside viral moments like “Katana” and “massa freestyle,” continue to affirm her reputation as a genre-defying talent. With co-signs from icons like Nas, Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu, Samara is emerging not just as an artist to watch, but one to follow closely.

“Bad Brain” is streaming everywhere now.
