As she wrapped up her first song, Keyba made a quick admission to the State of Sound listeners in our performance space and tuning in to 88Nine: "This is my first time being live on the radio. ... I made some clean music ... kept it PG for y'all because I love the people." She may have needed to leave a few choice words at home, but the hip-hop artist from Milwaukee's North Side brought all her skill to the stage.
