Keri tells MTV that her sophomore LP will be influenced by the sounds of the Motherland. As for that elusive mixtape, well, that’s anybody’s guess.

“Everywhere I travel, I get music from that region of the world. I’ve been to Nigeria, I’ve been to South Africa, three cites in Africa [in all]. I gather music from these regions, and African music is very drum-heavy. It was very inspiring. I’m definitely going to be using some of that inspiration.”
