Sometimes when you discover an exciting new musician you want to learn everything you can about her right now, find out where she's from, what she vibes to, her favorite foods and her birthday (via Pinkerton). Other time you're probably much, much better off not knowing at all. Like if she's 13-16 and singing songs about Justin Bieber, albeit ironically (?). Enter Kitty Pryde, about whom I know nothing except that that is such an amazing name for a white Tumblr-wave adderall-core teenage girl rapper I can't believe no one's ever used it before.
Granted I can't think of many other people who fit that awesome genre I just invented, so maybe it's just as well. So, yeah, what else do we actually know about this person? Well, she's already a better rapper than Kreayshawn, for one. Plus she's rocking the bedroom laptop beat / iMovie chopped-up collage vibe that our homegirl Bunny Holliday did so well, but somehow, even though the music here is objectively worse, less polished, more, well, high school, it somehow is all the more 'meaningful' and 'authentic' for it. Plus there's the merciful fact that Kitty isn't dealing in the Lolita-wave vibes that wefall for get nervous about.

This Bieber song above is kind of old. This track "Okay Cupid" is brand spanking new, however, and it 'illustrates' a 'mature' 'progression' in Kitty's flow and production. Check it out below. (H/T David Day/Coralcola)

13 year old talking about "drunk dials at 3:30am" = yeesh. Is this the 2012 equivalent of that girl in middle school who wrote dirty stories in a notebook she brought everywhere with her? She can flow, though.
In another 15 years I bet all rap will be like this and our children will hear Big Pun and think what is this shit?
Who is Big Pun?
Honestly, I think rap has always been made by white teenage girls if you think about it.
Reminds me of Why?
Me too. What is that?
Lazy, drawly, keyboards? I went to a Why gig years ago and there were so many bros there
