Instagram Gallery: Mulatto Looking Fierce

Atlanta-born-and-raised rapper Mulatto is the latest female hip-hop star taking the rap game by storm. At only 21 years old, Mulatto’s 2019 breakout single, “B***h From Da Souf,” cracked the Billboard Hot 100 in August, shortly after the rapper’s cameo in Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s star-studded “WAP” music video. Born Alyssa Michelle Stephens, the 21-year-old’s moniker has become quite the point of controversy, but the rapper has revealed it’s her way of reclaiming her identity as a mixed-race person, which she says she frequently caught flack for from her peers throughout her adolescence.

Although she’s just now encroaching household-name-level fame, Mulatto isn’t exactly a newcomer to the industry. Having won season one of Lifetime hip-hop competition series, The Rap Game, when she was just 16, it was only a matter of time before the rapper rose to stardom. After releasing “B***h From Da Souf,” Mulatto was swiftly scooped up by RCA Records, under which she released her debut album, Queen of Da Souf, in August 2020. Trina and Saweetie jumped on a “B***h From Da Souf” remix last December, and Mulatto has even already collabed with her self-proclaimed idol, Gucci Mane, on her song “Muwop,” which dropped in July. As both her music and her unparalleled confidence and style illustrate, Mulatto has come to dominate.

Still not sure what we’re talking about? Look no further; check out our gallery below of some of the rapper’s most bossed-up pics.

A savage, wearing savage

Nope, it’s a full-time job and you’re a professional

Not Pictured: her foot, on our necks

Let ’em know

Dimes all around

Showing off her megawatt smile

Dripped in diamonds

Claiming her crown

Get a girl who can do both

In case you didn’t know: she’s rich

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”

The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.

The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.

That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”

“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.

The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.

“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
