Allie Baby

Raised in the Crescent City, which birthed some of Hip-Hop’s most influential artist and legendary music empires (Master P, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, No limit, Cash Money Records), in addition to New Orleans’ strong association with Jazz, Allie inherited the musical creativity and influence her city is known for. Diverse yet cohesive, she successfully integrates various genres into her own sound covering all bases.

Before embarking on a solo career, Allie was fortunate to be a member of two groups. Blak Iyce, a female group molded under the direction of Dj Wild Wayne. “We got a chance to open up for G- Unit, the 504 Boyz, and travel on a tour bus to see what life on the road was like,” she said. She would continue to open up for B2K, Camron, Nas, and other mainstream acts. While recording in a Memphis studio, she had a chance encounter with producer Drumma Boy, the same producer who would go on to make hits for artists such as Kanye West, TI, and Young Jeezy. At the time, he was still up and coming. He dropped off some of his work and Allie listened to the tracks. She became hooked to his signature synthesized laced sound.

“I think I am music as music is me. It’s a being, a feeling, an emotion, what’s understood and not explained, but even if explained, understood. It’s transient, from 8 to 80 years old. Timeless. Classic. Vintage and Revolutionary simultaneously…

…I am a walking contradiction, I love and hate, I’m empathetic but reckless, I’ll provide the rope to help you climb, but use that same slack to hang you. Everything you love to love while being the thing you love to hate.”

As an independent artist who has been featured in Rolling Stone, Complex, and Hip Hop Nation, Allie Baby has proven she’s the music. But she also means business.

We asked her about the inspiration behind her latest single, “No Feelings” featuring Denisia. She says its about empowerment. “It’s girl power, it’s black girl magic, it’s ‘Hellloooooo!!! The game is an even playing field!!” It’s a man’s world but nothing, and I mean NOTHING without a woman or a girl!! Ya dig!! This is the 2010s baby. Keep your feelings… I’m getting my paper, I’m on my grind, I’m focused, the game gets played both ways.”

It’s the movement, she says. - Girl Gang Music

Allie is dope. She’s Southern, like a Southern go-getter. Allie goes hard, she’s lyrical, but she’s real broad with it. She has a sexy street vibe to her. Her voice is real sex appeal. Straight up, when they see her, a lot of dudes’ eyes get big! - MTV HIVE

Her southern swag is undeniable, as in her thick New Orleans accent, but what really makes the hot, young rapper Allie the next contention for the Hip-Hop throne is her ability to seamlessly blend raw and savvy lyricism with relevant social commentary.
