Kiana Ledé, Kiki [Photo Credit: Republic]Kiana Ledé brings the anger on Mad Money with “Second Chances,” featuring 6LACK from her debut album, Kiki.

Ah, Mad Monday serves as a marvelous means to start off a hectic, work week for many.  Monday is among the more hated days of the week, so let’s spice it up with some music, shall we? Today’s Mad Monday (May 25, 2020), arrives courtesy of …, with “Second Chances.,” featuring 6LACK, from her full-length, debut album, Kiki

“I’m too fuckin’ real to wear my heart up on my sleeve / Fuck that back and forth shit, if I leave then I’m a leave / I’ma have you begging, have you pleading on your knees.” Goodness! 2020 saw singer and actress Kiana Ledé release her full-length, debut album, Kiki.  In addition to standout “Forfeit.”, the numeric song at hand, finds Ledé moving FORWARD without giving him a second chance whatsoever, dammit!

As the opening lines of the first verse indicate, you really don’t want to mess with Kiana Ledé.  “Can’t you tell a bitch is fed up with your nonsense,” she goes onto say on the brutally honest first verse.  She’s still feisty on the second verse, where she’d rather troll him than respond to his texts, and informs, “You missed out on a blessing, I mad you the king of my world.”  On the chorus, she just makes it crystal clear she done with it – “No more second chances, chances / Always tryna take advantage, ‘vantage / … So, I’d rather walk away.”  As you might expect, 6LACK provides the male response, owning up to his shortcomings.   Still, he knows it’s all for naught.   But, the pain from both perspectives is our listening pleasure, along with solid production work courtesy of Boston, Cam Griffin, Derrick Milano, Mike Woods, and Roark Bailey. “Second Chances.,” which recently appeared on the playlist, 10 Songs Loosely Associated with Playback Controls ⏯, exemplifies Mad Monday!
