Info for ICY

For as many rappers as the Bay Area has produced, Kamaiyah is one of the few women to break through in the scene’s rich history. Hayward native Saweetie wants to become the next female MC to break the trend and put on for women in NorCal.

“I’m a Bay girl. The Bay raised me,” Saweetie said when asked about her history of living across California. “I love Sacramento too, so I kind of have two hometowns: Hayward and Sacramento. Those two cities shaped me into who I am today. I’m definitely a Cali girl but more like Bay Area.”

Becoming an MC has always been the end game for Saweetie, and she’s worked tirelessly to achieve her goal.

“I’ve been wanting to do this since I was 14 years old, so it [has] always been a dream,” she told HipHopDX. “I went to college for five years so it got kind of put on hold, but since then I’ve been working toward [becoming a rapper]. Have you guys ever seen that triangle where it goes: social life, school, and job or sleep? [It] was like choose two. Nah, I chose all three. I was literally going to the club [then] going to my 8 a.m. classes. I was working two jobs; I was a waitress and I had a work-study job at the business school. I did it all. I loved being busy but when people heard about it or heard what I was doing they were like, ‘Yo you’re crazy.’ When it’s you, since you’re so into it and you’re doing it step by step and looking at it from the big picture, it’s definitely possible.”

Diamonté "Saweetie" Harper
Flaunting nineties rhyme reverence, fashion-forward fire, and endless charisma, SAWEETIE—born Diamonté Harper—can go bar-for-bar with the best of 'em. Drawing on a passion for poetry and numerous years of rapping in the car, she turned her love for words into vivid verses. Born in Santa Clara and raised in Sacramento, the California native attended USC. Initially, she deferred her rap dreams to achieve a degree in Communications before being discovered at a Downtown Los Angeles Puma event by current manager Max Gousse [Beyoncé, YG, Ty Dolla $ign]. At Artistry Studios, she produced and recorded her 2017 knockout viral smash "ICY GRL." Driven by a bulletproof flow and one clever line after another, it racked up 10 million YouTube views in under three weeks and over 5 million Spotify streams and soared to #1 onMusical.ly. She also earned the early endorsement of gatekeepers such as Vibe, XXL, HipHopDX, and MTV. With a new partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Artistry Records for her label Icy, she's rewriting the rule book and breaking the stereotype of the female emcee. Her forthcoming debut EP features production courtesy of Zaytoven, Hassan, Saweetie, Cash Money AP, and Gousse. As a new CAA signee, she'll be touring nationally throughout 2018.

"There's a huge whirl within the music scene filled with plenty of gems that have either been slept on or are slowly but surely surging their way up to the top. Saweetie comes under that latter. Serving nothing but waves, I cam tell that Saweetie has plenty more to offer so make sure you keep an eye out for her."
