You may have heard of Brianna Perry in the last few weeks thanks to none other than her highness Beyonce, who posted the video for "Marilyn Monroe" on her website – but Miss Perry has been around. She was on a Trina record when she was just 9 years old, and then was signed to Missy's Label for three years before signing to Atlantic Records' Poe Boy imprint.
"Marilyn Monroe" is super catchy, and Perry is super cute. It doesn't quite show off what she's capable of lyrically, but her other video releases, like her "Rack City" freestyle and "Slight Work" remix reveal that she does in fact have bars. She's sassy, sexy, and I for one am excited to see where she goes. I love her voice and her persona, and of course her style (though putting the Galaxies and the Concords in the same video for "Slight Work" is a little overkill).
Download Brianna Perry's Mixtape "Face Off" here, check out a few of her videos below and more on her YouTube Channel. She's currently back in the studio working with Missy, with another mixtape and an official release on the way.
What do you think of Brianna the Young Rich Bandit?

I really like this girl. She has a cockiness and swag of the early Lil Kim. She's nasty and bossy and rude in all the right ways. I also like that she goes from Glam (Marilyn Monroe) to Hood (Slight Work). I don't think she's doing anything different in terms of lyrical content than Iggy (which is still a huge step up from Nicki), but her big draw is that she can adapt to SO many styles. Those three songs you posted are great because it shows this stuttery pseudo-Jamaican flow, then a faster-lipped masculine-feeling flow, and then a more traditional female rap cadence in the third video.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious for your thoughts on this bad bitch. Mixtape, downloaded.
NASTY AND BOSSY AND RUDE is the best description, Sherrod. I'm gonna spend the rest of my day perfecting the high fishtail braid from the MM video. Merci for the intro, Em, you're better than Beyonce.
