WHAT IT IS: St. Louis-based Slayyyter took a DIY approach when it came to her early singles, like debut track “BFF,” “Daddy AF” and “Mine,” and snatched critical praise off the bat. Months before releasing her self-titled debut mixtape, which peaked at #4 on the U.S. iTunes Pop chart, Slayyyter sold out her first headlining tour without ever having performed live. Featured alongside Kim Petras on Charli XCX’s “Click (No Boys Remix),” the up-and-comer also earned a co-sign from Lady Gaga, who selected her single, “Mine,” as a part of her Women of Choice playlist. Slayyyter’s ferocious return signals the dawning of a new era for the self-made pop star who isn’t afraid to raise some hell.
