She got her start in the Baltimore underground scene and gained a solid following for her dancing (check out her on youtube) and her unique voice and delivery.

Rye Rye was discovered by Baltimore superstar DJ Blaqstarr (who was a friend of her big sister). From there, Diplo got involved; then M.I.A. heard her and decided to mentor the young rapper. Oh yeah… did I mention she has just graduated from high school this year?

Rye Rye on the interview show

Rye Rye (featuring M.I.A.) “Bang” (Buraka Som Sistema Canivale Remix) Bang is easily the song of this summer and the spiritual daughter of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes”. I put up the Buraka Som Sistema remix cuz BSS need waaay more ups.

Rye Rye “Wassup Wassup” (Crookers remix) The song that started it all, remixed by Italy’s crazy dance floor demons.

Rye Rye was supposed to be back in town this summer opening for A-Trak, but she had to pull out! But she will be back soon when her full length drops.

I find this a lot more interesting than Kanye’s new album which surprised everyone with its minimalism and heavy use of vocoder!?.

Kanye’s a great rapper and all but he’s been doing the Madonna as of late jumping onto whatever’s hot. All of the rappers that have been spitting a few verses over the latest hyped up track should take note too, this is sampling without bootlegging. First two tracks from the album below.

get it hrrr.
