Laila! Takes Over The GU Disruptor Summit With Her On-Stage Performance

Disruptors sang along to hits "Like That" and "Not My Problem"
Laila! Takes Over The GU Disruptor Summit With Her On-Stage Performance
By Amber Little · Updated October 18, 2024

The Essence GU Disruptor’s Summit returned to Atlanta for its fifth annual celebration last Saturday. The on-stage performer at the GU Summit showed that getting the crowd hyped is not a problem. Eloquently put, this artist embodies the perfect verse over a tight beat. Attendees rushed to the stage to welcome Laila! as she closed out the day with performances from her debut album, Gap Year.

Laila! Takes Over The GU Disruptor Summit With Her On-Stage Performance

With her soothing and dexterous voice, she mesmerized the audience as they chanted every word to her songs. She kicked off the performance with her song that took Tik Tok by storm “Like That!” as she brings a vibrant new sound to the R&B and Hip Hop genre. This prodigy gave the audience a glimpse of what it means to be a classic brown sugar genius at only 18 years old.

She continued the performance and took over the crowd when she began the intro to her hit “Not My Problem,” prompting everybody to scream every single word. This is not the last time you’ll hear of Laila! I am almost certain that her album will climb all the way to the top of the Billboard 2025 charts.
