"Big Girl Saying"

Makia Downing is an R&B newcomer on the scene representing Norfolk, Virginia with a unique voice and style. Her latest video “Hammer” was a bit racy as she had more clothes skimpier than actual whole outfits, but I still liked it. The concept was cool, her video presence looked very comfortable, and she’s well on her way to being the next Rihanna in one moment. Check it out! - Big Girl Saying
