Hailing from Tennessee, this talented rapper, singer, and songwriter has made a significant impact with her signature sound, a seamless blend of hip-hop and neo-soul she personally defines as “neo-soul hip-hop fusion.” Her undeniable talent has earned her co-signs from legends like Nas and Lauryn Hill, and her recent inclusion in the prestigious XXL Freshman Class of 2025 only solidifies her trajectory toward stardom.
