The Orlando-to-Brooklyn transplant explains "the pretty girl syndrome" within Hip Hop, and previews her "Doobies and Popsicle Sticks" project.
Nitty Scott is easily one of the most determined and inspired rappers that this new school of hip hop has seen. The 21-year-old Orlando native has taken the genre by storm since the top of 2011. Riding off the momentum of her famed “Monster” freestyle, Nitty used this summer to her advantage- appearing at rap festivals nationwide, on internet radio shows and most recently on television sets everywhere as a part of BET’s Hip Hop Awards’ cyphers .
She uses every opportunity to showcase her versatile flow as noted on her spring 2011 release, The Cassette Chronicles. Her adamant drive has led many to believe that she may very well be one of the best newcomers we’ve seen this year. Add classical beauty to the mix and you have a flame spitting, boom-bap inclined emcee who’s had to fight through what she’s coined “The Pretty Girl Syndrome.” Nitty accepts compliments graciously but prefers to disarm doubt-filled listeners by use of her skill rather than her looks, making her all the more intriguing in this current age of popularity gained by ‘look-at-me’ antics.
With her upcoming mixtape, Doobies and Popsicle Sticks slated to drop this fall, DX was able to talk to Nitty Scott about her summer successes, battle rapping and having a dollar and a dream as a teen in NYC.
