Kid Sister (aka Melissa Young) is a Chicago rapper signed to Downtown Records. Previously, she was signed to DJ A-Trak's label, Fools Gold and is also dating A-Trak, who is Kanye West's tour DJ.Kid Sister has been MC'ing since 2005 and has been considered by some to be one of Kanye West's protege's. Her music can be roughly categorized as club rap, because of the up-tempo music, with influences from house music and other club genres. All in all, it's a refreshing mix considering how the music industry is so saturated with hard-hitting, serious rap music these days.
Her most prominent single to date was the late 2007 hit "Pro Nails". The original song caught the attention of Kanye, who eventually jumped onto it for a verse and appeared in the video.
*side note: this song totally grew on me after a while me and my buddy whiled out to this song like crazy haha.
Since "Pro Nails", she has released a few other singles, including "Family Reunion" with David Banner and most recently "Get Fresh", which I'm totally feelin. (Props to J-Swing for the song.)
Get Fresh
Her debut album, Dream Date, is set to be released this November and it will feature production by Trackademicks, Spank Rock's XXXChange and many others.
