A good friend of mine has been trying to get me exited about the Baltimore music scene for quite sometime now, so I started looking into it and ran into a very promising young female rapper called Rye Rye. In my search I came to find out I wasn’t the only one looking, in fact I’m a little late. Rye Rye happens to be the first artist signed to M.I.A.’s N.E.E.T. label and is one of the main reasons Mia came out of her so called retirement last year. So what does Rye sound like? Well on this song she sounds like a machine gun that manages to make out words. He delivery is intense, energetic and fierce, a little young sounding but not to the point where it’s annoying. Her cadences certainly remind of M.I.A. but that’s partly due to the Diplo style productions she’s selecting. EMPT favorite. Bang!
