I was in a group for a year and some change. Once I separated from the group I got with CMC. I put out my first mixtape in February 2012 called Just Do It. I just put it all together and made the mixtape. Tell me about the group you were in in high school. It was me, Matt G, my best friend Mike, Logic, Wayne. My best friend brought me into the group. They had already started the group-I was the only girl. Why did you guys broke up? We weren’t organized. It wasn’t like we were performing anywhere. If we would have had a little help we probably could have popped off.

Everybody graduated and went their separate ways. How would you define your sound? I like melodies. I’m not afraid to try different flows and put it together. Everybody says they like my tone of voice.

Your voice is soft and you’re singing some hardcore lyrics on “Try Me.” It’s funny that you say you were the good kid because on the song you sound like you weren’t.

When did you begin to… When did I turn gangsta? Yeah. I’m around that all the time, so I can speak on it. Because you were the good kid, do you think people used to try you thinking you wouldn’t do anything? I was always cool. I stayed to myself, stayed out of trouble. I was around it with my brothers, cousins. Nobody could try me because I had that circle around me. What college did you go to? Saginaw Valley State University. It’s an hour and a half away from Detroit. I wasn’t on it like how I was with music. If you’re gonna go to school you should be dedicated to it and that’s with anything you do. I was coming home like every weekend and that’s not what college is about. I came home and I wasn’t even supposed to come home for good. That’s why people tell you before you go to school don’t come home, just stay at school. How long were in you in school before you left? Like, three semesters. As an upcoming hip hop female artist, how will you be different from Remy Ma, Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea? The ones that you named are the ones that are actually good. Other artists have shown you love by remixing your song. Which are your favorite remixes of “Try Me”? E-40.

Who were some of your favorite rappers coming up? I didn’t really have many.
