bonita applebaum, ya gotta put me on.

over 10 years ago, the iconic line "pitbull in a skirt" was uttered by then platinum bowl-cut rapper, Eve, to solidify her stance in the male-dominated world of hiphop. since then, i immediately deemed every lone chick who rolled with a collective of guys as such. although not quite as grimy or rugged as Eve's 1998 incarnation, TOKiMONSTA, is definitely low end theory's modern day pitbull.

running around the world with fellow beat contemporaries such as nosaj thing, the gaslamp killer, teebs and daedelus; she's also the only female signed to flying lotus' brainfeeder imprint. equal parts steezy and talented, her debut full length, midnight menu, drops later this month.




check out "alpenglow", her collaboration with fellow Red Bull Music Academy alumni lunice and swede:art HERE.

it gives you wings,
