The First Track I Ever Recorded Was A Song called “Whipping Excursion” Remix from an UK artist name “Giggs”. The inspiration behind it was to catch Giggs attention & it did just that.

That’s how I became the First Female of Drill in NY because of that song.

6. Tell us about your first performance.
My first performance was at an Spice event, like the dancehall queen “Spice” yes. It was hilarious because I was rapping a fast ass song not knowing how to do breathe control so my voice was cracking. However, That move was beneficial because Spice knew who I was & so did the people in the building, it worked out for the better Lol.
