Working to further define the increasingly relevant Chicago music scene, rap artist Kid Sister (Melissa Young) has become a favourite of the North American club circuit, touring the globe with her DJ brother to produce the ultimate in party music that boats originality and presence. Helping to usher in a new era of club rap with the help of Rusko, Flosstradamus and Estelle, Kid Sister originally earned attention for her first single, Pro Nails (featuring Kanye West), which labelled her as his protégé and solidified her status as a unique and bankable talent.
Following the release of her celebrated debut album, Ultraviolet last November, Kid Sister has managed to combine elements of raw hip-hop with the energetic nature of party tracks, living up to her reputation as a cutting-edge artist whose talent undoubtedly speaks for itself.
