Although drill might be the hottest emerging subgenre of hip-hop right now, the South still has and always will have something to say. Atlanta and Houston have accounted for some of the biggest stars like Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and Megan Thee Stallion, but one of the sleeper cities is St. Louis. The city gave us artists like the ever-popular Nelly and underground darling Smino, but now all the attention is focused on Sexyy Red, whose popularity has reached new heights this year.
At the beginning of 2023, Sexyy Red dropped “Pound Town,” a raunchy romp with an equally spicy video that provided many TikTok videos with a sound so catchy, that it’s been played millions of times. Since the release of Sexyy Red’s single, she’s also dropped a live version (along with slowed-down, sped-up, and instrumental versions), and a remix with Nicki Minaj and Tay Keith, capitalizing on her newfound success. If nothing else, Sexyy Red’s story is one of hard work, perseverance, and understanding of how to maintain your popularity when lightning strikes.
