STREAM HERE
For many artists, following up a year as successful as Sexyy Red’s 2023 would be an impossible feat. Sexyy Red isn’t like most artists: she’s aiming even higher, with a new project in the works and even more explicit shout-along anthems for the masses on the way. Her first salvo of the new year: “Get It Sexyy,” a thumping anthem produced by frequent collaborator Tay Keith. The song arrives as she prepares to perform at Rolling Loud California 2024 on March 15th.
Critical Praise:
“…30 minutes of straight-up standing-on-the-table raps. There are a handful of songs on here that are bound to be summertime anthems.” – Pitchfork
“St. Louis rapper Sexyy Red has been delivering raunchy singles over the past three years, turning herself into a quotable local star with songs like “Throw That Mf” and “Hood Bitch.” Yet the MC is primed to break out of the midwest thanks to the X-rated anthem “Pound Town,” with weekly streams for the track starting to soar in recent weeks following the single’s late January release.” – Billboard
“Sexyy Red Is in Her Own League, and She Knows It…The St. Louis rapper is quickly becoming the hottest thing in hip-hop, all while just being herself.” – Rolling Stone
“The St. Louisian rapper laughs at critics and her own jokes. With the viral success of Pound Town and a raucous appearance at the BET Awards, she’s bringing ‘raw sh*t’ back into the rap game.” – The Face
“In 2023, Sexyy Red’s unapologetic honesty has helped her become a star. Her Tay Keith-produced song ‘Pound Town’ is a runaway viral hit, getting co-signed by everyone from Cardi B to Post Malone.” – Complex

2023’s Biggest Breakout Star Reconnects With the Producer Behind “Pound Town” and “SkeeYee” for Another Irresistible, Addictive, and Quotable Banger, Ahead of Her Main Stage Performance at Rolling Loud California 2024
The Announcement:
(March 15th) – After taking over the charts and dominating the cultural conversation in 2023, Sexyy Red is back with “Get It Sexyy,” her first new single of 2024. The song features booming production from Memphis heavy-hitter Tay Keith, who collaborated with Sexyy Red on her biggest hits to date. On “Get It Sexyy,” the two Highsnobiety-profiled close friends make a formidable pair once again. Tay Keith’s instrumental is perfectly tailored to Sexyy’s playground chant flow, providing a tuneful 808 drum break that guides the rapper’s hook, and supplementing with rattling hi-hats and dramatic strings to give weight to each X-rated bar. The St. Louis native is as quotable as ever, as she crafts couplets that reflect her inspirational self-confidence: “I’m so f*ckin’ sexy, yeah my skin is glistening,” she purrs.
“Get It Sexyy” kicks an already-eventful 2024 into high gear for the 25-year-old artist, which includes a new project on the way and a performance at Rolling Loud California 2024 this weekend. Earlier this year, Sexyy gave birth to her second child, a process that was fictionalized in the video for Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy,” featuring Sexyy and SZA. The documentary-style video is one of the most talked-about and viewed music videos of the year, with over 13 million views in one month and multiple days atop the YouTube Trending charts. More recently, Sexyy connected with her close friend Summer Walker for the music video for “I Might,” a highlight from Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe), Sexyy’s latest project, which came out in December.
Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe) adds 11 songs to her critically acclaimed tape Hood Hottest Princess, earning Best of 2023 honors from The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Washington Post, Billboard, and more. The Deluxe is home to highlights like “Shake Yo Dreads,” a booming pump-up anthem for all the dreadheads in your life, the ultra-raunchy “Hood Rats”, and the Chief Keef collaboration “Ghetto Princess.” Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe) adds guest appearances from some of the best street rappers in the business, including Chief Keef, G Herbo, and 42 Dugg, and is available everywhere via Open Shift Distribution / gamma.
Fueled by Hood Hottest Princess and its singles, Sexyy’s improbable, yet inevitable rise was one of the biggest stories in hip-hop in 2023. The mixtape earned a sterling 8.0 review from Pitchfork, who wrote that the mixtape “sets the tone for what she hopes is the nastiest, sweatiest, and freakiest summer since the smartphone came along” and “…30 minutes of straight-up standing-on-the-table raps. There are a handful of songs on here that are bound to be summertime anthems.” Home to other hits like “Looking For The H*es (Ain’t My Fault),” and “Hellcats SRTs,” blessed with a remix featuring Lil Durk, Hood Hottest Princess made an impact on the Billboard 200, where it reached a peak of #62, and Apple Music’s charts, where it peaked at #7 on the Hip-Hop albums chart and #12 overall.
Sexyy’s viral rise quickly fomented success on the touring front. After a viral performance at Rolling Loud Miami, Sexyy Red earned an invitation to open on tour for her biggest fan, Drake, during his “It’s All A Blur Tour” with 21 Savage. Sexyy’s first headlining tour, the “Hood Hottest Princess Tour,” sold out many dates within minutes of its initial onsale, including a 3,000-cap show in NYC and a 4,850-cap show in Chicago. The tour criss-crossed the U.S. for dozens of dates–including 24 sold out dates–including a massive sold out hometown show at the 8,000-capacity Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis. In all, Sexyy’s first-ever headlining show sold an estimated 70k tickets, making her one of the hottest draws in the genre.
After changing the game in 2023, Big Sexyy looks to cement her status as a cultural icon for her generation. Stay tuned for more announcements.
