She gained recognition in early 2021 for her single "Beating Down Yo Block". Quotes I’m just proud that I got up every single day. This year started weird for me. Yes, I went to Mexico this year and last year, too. It had to be all pink and a big, grand experience. I just wanted to celebrate, be free and be liberated. I wanted to feel like I’m content, happy and satisfied with who I am and where I am. That’s my goal for 24 ’cause every year, it’s just constantly me tearing myself down for not being as far as I would like to be or as big as I would like to be. They’re ageist. I’m going to speak for Black women, specifically. We’re the most disrespected people on the face of this earth at times, and we don’t really get much grace with anything. We can’t get a little bit older. We can’t get wrinkles. We’re all on the same playing field, but I think rap is competitive, and it’s supposed to be. It’s a sport at the end of the day. I feel like I’m one of the top lyricists out of my class. I put in real time, effort and energy into writing my music. In terms of pure, raw talent and energy being transmuted, that energy can’t be replicated. It’s what separates me from some of my peers, but I think everybody is great in their own individual way.
