Megan Thee Stallion is the underdog rapper who has been invading our playlists since the summer of ’19 with breakout hit, “Realer.” The standout single, featured on previous mixtape Fever, was one of Megan’s first introductions to the mainstream. Characterized by its inspiration of Blaxploitation films, Fever was a true record of the summer. She took the world by storm and has only been on an upward trajectory since then.
Megan Thee Stallion is the charismatic, sensual rapper the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the 90’s. This persona of hers which can be seen reflected in her real life is seen tenfold with recent era, “HISS.” “HISS” is an exploratory single circulating recent controversy surrounding the persona of Pete. “HISS” bites back at any contention involving her with an honest song that bares it all.
One standout clip that first put a golden star by Megan’s name was the Houston Cypher YouTube video she was featured in, alongside her other Texan peers. Rapping over Drake’s “4pm in Calabasas,” Megan was shown to effortlessly glide along the beat, first displaying ruminations of her sprouting talent.
The Houston down rapper has been a force to be reckoned with, all the while being an undergraduate in college. Megan Thee Stallion was noticeable for years for being the upbeat rapper who was balancing two different hats; rapper extraordinaire and full-time college student. This duality added a layer to Pete’s lifestyle, showing the work ethic of one such starlet. Megan’s mother, better known under her persona Holly-Wood, was also a rapper. Megan credits accompanying her mother to recording sessions and seeing her in action as inspiration to pursue a music career. This common passion for music between the two led to Holly-Wood becoming Megan’s manager, helping Thee Stallion navigate through the industry.
With recent developments surrounding her new independent era. The all too familiar tale of young artists falling into predatory contracts has been lurking in the music industry, and Megan is one of the recent cautionary tales. Following events from the past year, Megan was able to successfully become an independent artist and work under her discretion. From past Instagram live of usual production partner LilJuMadeDaBeat, she answers:
…But I have no label right now. And we’re doing everything straight out of Megan Thee Stallion’s pocket. So, the budget is coming from me (Hot Girl Productions!)… The next sh*t you’re about to see, about to be all straight from Megan Thee Stallion… brain, wallet, yes.
