-----------------
Kid Sister is Chicago. She makes rap music and works at a children’s clothing store slanging bibs and teething rings. Yes, her hype man J2K of Flosstradamus is her real brother, and yes that does rule. Together they took the Chicago music scene by storm rocking parties and causing all around dancefloor mayhem. This has been followed by tours with Kanye West’s DJ A-Trak. 2006 found Kid Sister rocking various shows from Chicago to Paris, including an appearance at the Pitchfork Music Festival. The media responded favorably, with features on MTV (“My Block”), Pitchfork, i-D Magazine, XLR8R, The New York Times, Billboard and the cover of URB’s “Next 1000” issue, among others.
Building on the strength of this early response, Kid Sister hit the studio and released two singles on the Fool’s Gold label (“Control” and “Pro Nails”). Frequent international touring followed, including an appearance at Coachella, a sold out show at SXSW, and a full US tour with her fellow labelmates. Kanye West also took notice, adding a verse to her “Pro Nails” single (which he released on his “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” mixtape) and appearing in the music video, which will debut late 2007. With her first LP on the way in 2008 featuring A-Trak, Xxxchange of Spank Rock, and others on production duties, Kid Sister is taking this.
Press on Kid Sister:
“Updating L’Trimm’s old-school style for post-Lil’ Kim times, this tiny diva spins rhymes about Baby Phat and guys who won’t quit calling.” – ROLLING STONE
“Thank God: another female MC…In a word, awesome.”—BILLBOARD
“As cool as ice cream on a summer day…her true claim to (future) fame is a mix of hip-hop, pop, and electronica that will surely launch the bi-racial 20-something-year-old out of obscurity and into the light with her debut album.” – BLACK BEAT
“Clean-burning, spitfire flow, bursting with fly-girl bravado, punch lines and club hollers.” –REMIX MAGAZINE
