Kid Sister shakes up VooDoo Lounge this weekend. Win tickets!
Describing her Chicago roots to the BBC, Melissa Young — better known as Kid Sister — said, “There’s a culture down there that’s very unique. It’s sort of ‘hood, but it’s sort of wholesome.” The conflation of ‘hood and wholesome is a fair description of Kid Sister’s music, which melds electronic hip-hop and Chicago house music. The Kanye West protégée drops rap-world references (“Henn,” “stacks of money”), but she also makes sly, positive allusions that subvert MC culture and expectations.
