.mulatto is this month's Chartbreaker, here's a look at her rise and why artists like iamcardib think she's ready to dominate.
How her Hot 100 debut hit “Bitch From Da Souf” is helping shake up a ‘male-dominated genre’
Stephens had recently started taking her local performances as Miss Mulatto across state lines, showing off the skills she’d been honing since she was 10. Initially drawn to writing poetry as an elementary schooler, she switched to writing rhymes after her dad started bringing her along on rap video shoots for which he supplied the candy-painted cars.
Miss Mulatto declined a contract with Dupri’s So So Def Recordings in favor of remaining independent and released her first self-titled mixtape that October through her dad’s management company, Pittstop Ent. Over the next two years, she put out two more mixtapes and an EP — and dropped the “Miss” from her name as a nod to her maturity. She kept Mulatto to reflect her biracial background as the daughter of a Black father and white mother, hoping to reclaim the oft-derogatory word.
