RapsodyVEVO

The Snow Hill, North Carolina native has more than held her own alongside greats like Kendrick Lamar, Black Thought and the late Mac Miller. She has been broadcasted and hailed by media giants––from NPR to USA Today to TIME Magazine to BET to NBC. In 2014, XXL named her one of the 20 Greatest Female Rappers of All Time.

2017’s Laila’s Wisdom, named after her grandmother, featured a constellation of guests (Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak, Busta Rhymes, Musiq Soulchild, etc) and launched two Grammy nominations- one for Best Rap Album and the other for Best Rap Song. The groundwork laid prior to Laila’s Wisdom included her outstanding verse on Paak’s 9th Wonder-produced “Without U” (off of his major label debut, Malibu) and her first GRAMMY nomination for her exceptional performance on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly. Rapsody would later earn an invitation from President Barack Obama and Herbie Hancock to perform at the International Jazz Fest in honor of the late, great Prince.
