WHAT IT IS: With her impressive rhymes and unmatched energy, Coi Leray has emerged as one of the most-buzzed-about newcomers in hip-hop. The New Jersey native is responsible for viral hits like the platinum-selling single “No More Parties” and “BIG PURR (Prrd)” f/Pooh Shiesty—which exploded at TikTok with 1m+ video creations and 100m+ views apiece—as well as “No More Parties (Remix)” f/Lil Durk. Leray’s latest accolades include being selected for XXL’s 2021 Freshman Class—for which she graces the cover alongside three other women—and Rolling Stone’s Breakthrough 25 as well as being named an early front-runner for 2022 Grammy nominations.
