Kehlani Gives Raw Story Behind Journey to "SweetSexySavage" Album | Sway's Universe

Oakland is in the house! Today, we welcome Bay-area native, singer-songwriter, Kehlani to Sway in the Morning to talk about her new album, SweetSexySavage, and the journey to this exact moment.
It's no secret that Kehlani was homeless just a few short years ago, but she always made the best of her situations, no matter how dark her life was. From battling depression, to being figuratively "reborn" last year , she breaks it all down and how she pulled herself up from it.
While in-studio, she breaks down some tracks off her new project - Sway specifically was attracted to "Crazy," where she tips her hat to Sway himself,
"I'm crazy, I'm crazy, better watch what you say to me
'Cause Young Sway got the answers
Give 'em hell, give 'em pressure"
Watch below as she talks about past relationships, love vs. lust, and washing her underwear in the sink.

The fact that people STILL thinks she cheated is just crazy

[@orry7857]

Candace W. that's wtf I'm sayinnnnnn lmfaooo

[@NikeCortez14]

right ! they dont have the brains to fact check and will just believe anything ! use your heads people.

[@darlenehunley3965]

Right like nigga its about to be 2019 leave it in 2017

[@candaceirl_]

So many people are making ignorant comments about depression and suicide. If you have never been in that state of mind..good for you. You're very fortunate. But you can't act like it's not a mental illness. It's a real thing and millions of people go through it. Many people have gotten to the lowest point where they feel like they don't need to live anymore. Suicide is not something to joke about. Maybe it wasn't the right move for her to be a HUMAN BEING and express how she felt for her social media but that was then and this is now. Her album is amazing and so is she. If you can't see that throughout all the bullshit rumors and lies then you're just ignorant.

Candace W. PREACH

[@babanuguchi]

Candace W. facts I've lost people to depression that lead to their suicide

[@marleymarsss]

Candace W. Truth.

[@YelloDuzzit]

Candace W. I agree mental illness def isn't taken seriously enough... but by the same token I think alot of ppl's response to that is to over inflate the empathy and confuse it with pity... and its def not a game, this shit is real!! and ppl def dont ridicule anybody solely for being born w/ or developing a mental illness... HOWEVER, everything is subject to be flipped into a joke, if its clever even better, if its dumb then its whatever... its w/e

[@888jesster]

[@kaylaartis5063]

Nicole O. Preach

[@saucyfbaby]

oh , yea ? you have kensli as your avi on there , too ? she's the cutest .

[@gotjuice9]

I believe she is well on her way, not only in terms of her musical career but also in terms of her own personal journey on the road to enlightenment. When somebody is on the right track, that's when demons (both internal and external) begin to obstruct their way because of course that fundamental darkness is always fighting to dim the light. It's in their nature to do that. Thank you Kehlani for being a shining example of somebody changing their karma for the better and being a public work in progress. It's never too late to turn things around. It's refreshing to hear a young artist be candid about their flaws and mistakes as well as their conscientious actions to correct themselves.

[@laminediallo9014]

Kehlani's album is dope

[@bizzionary1]

Kehlani so real and so down 2 earth

[@calicatch22]

OmG Sway_Preach-P R E A C H!!♡

[@myataburn4020]

Usually great artist like this don't get to make it. I'm talking about amazing, raw talent. Shes truly amazing and been through some real shit. And she very humble. We don't get artist like this anymore. And no I don't know her from dating kyrie or trying to commit suicide. I know her from hearing her music and I fell in love with her voice every since, and to see her personality and hear how she talks just makes me love her even more

[@SanFrancisco.415]

I ❤ Kelani song it's called Girlfriend. I heard it back on 106.1 kmel. I have to get her album too

[@ilexx876]

She kept it so real here. I didn't listen to her music before this and I know ppl been hyping her brand recently but I'll definitely give it a chance after watching this. Dope.

[@ericwhite8990]

Alexander Day how you like it

[@ilexx876]

Eric White it's extremely ironic that you are replying and asking me this now. I just went on a little road trip earlier and listened to over half the album and that shit sounds good to me. She got something. Its way too early for me to call and I'm NOT saying she is the next Aaliyah or anything remotely to that degree but she offers something to the game that I think has been missing since Aaliyah. Whatever that's worth but I really think she got something.

[@ericwhite8990]

That's wassup man I didn't catch on to Kehlani til "The Way" and I've been rocking with her ever since

[@BrittneyPrice1029]

Talented AF

[@hlewis0105]

[@chloerose187]

[@nicolesmith-fj7jx]

anyone else cry cause she made it to this point 😭😭 immensely proud of her 😭😭💗💗

[@ARI-qv7md]

In all honesty Kehlani's music is what helps my depression, she's my go to whenever I'm feeling like I can't do it anymore. 💗😇🌊 Her song Thank You is probably my favorite because it holds so much heartfelt meaning! Thank you lani I love you so much #tsunamimob

[@deannagreen2006]

Kehlani, I like your R&B JOINTS CRZY AND' ALL ME .' AND YOUR FROM OAKLAND,CALIFORNIA . NICK CANNON WAS YOUR MOTIVATION THAT IS GOOD TO HEAR DIVA.

[@ZayingIt]
