the interview show: Kid Sister

Kid Sister is a self-described “good girl” from the Midwest, who got into the rap game with some help of her kid brother Josh from Flosstradamus.

AllMusic.com describes Kid Sister as “a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the first golden age of hip-hop, when it seemed like anyone, even your kid sister, could have a hit.”

And her skills have attracted the support of many, including Kanye West, who put her single “Pro Nails” on his Summer 2007 mixtape Can’t Tell Me Nothing, as well as Kayne West’s DJ, A-Trak, who is also Kid Sister’s man.

But she is quick to point out that she was gaining plenty of underground attention before Kanye and before A-Trak. Check out our chat with this “hungry” upstart, who was no afraid to school us when we got it twisted.

Can you believe, just a year ago, she was working for Bath and Bodyworks?

A big trend in the art world right now is everything-but-the-kitchen-sink group shows curated by a guest organizer.  The concept is better than the finished result but some of the better ones, like “Who’s Afraid of Jasper Johns?” at Tony Shafrazi, “Jekyll Island” at Honor Fraser and “Pretty Ugly” at Maccarone & Gavin Brown’s Enterprise are fun to check out.
