WHAT IT IS: Saweetie—born Diamonté Harper—can go bar-for-bar with the best of them, and fans and critics immediately recognized and responded to that. Within six months, she cracked 100m cumulative streams and earned a gold plaque. And the L.A. Times pegged her as “one to watch this year.” At Artistry Studios, they produced her 2017 knockout viral smash, “ICY GRL.” Driven by a bulletproof flow and one clever line after another, it racked up 50m YouTube views in a few months, along with more than 31m Spotify streams between the original and Kehlani remix. That one even soared to #1 on Musical.ly. Touting a new partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Artistry Records for her label Icy, she’s rewriting the rule book and breaking the stereotype that surrounds the female emcee.
