"Type Beat Type Shit!” is surprisingly the first project for artist Aleesha Mayo. The debut EP demonstrates a level of authenticity, raw talent and musical mastery that you might only expect from a rap artist building a career around her whole government name.

Ms. Mayo - multi-sport high school athlete and class princess, behavior scientist, activist, entrepreneur and mother - has proven to be an unstoppable force. Aleesha has competed in strip clubs, navigated street politics, battled in court rooms, and even conquered in corporate arenas. This EP shows the world she’s ready to dominate the music game too - while paying respect to current industry players, including her visual reference to Atlanta’s musical legend Young Thug in the project’s artwork. 

The Pimp Daughter Princess welcomes the rap game into her world with “Vae Vanilla (Karrahbooo)," a whimsical warning to anyone that sees her as competition. We see her star power in “Kendrick", revealing both sexual prowess and business acumen. "Ms. Spice” plays as a charming diary entry, revealing the complex emotions that come with success, a traumatic past, and keen insight into social injustice. Mayo has a lot to get off her chest and she does exactly that in "Bagg", delivering a compelling blend of vulnerability, pain, and passion. Each track reveals another layer of this refreshing, relatable artist, while still leaving listeners wanting more. 

In an era where female rap continues to evolve, "Type Beat Type Shit!” tells the impactful story of a gifted artist with natural ambition, an undeniable work ethic, and a clear vision for the future. It stands out for its authenticity and masterful mix of different energies and sounds. Aleesha Mayo moves between styles, flows, and stories with an ease that makes you wonder where she's been all this time.

Just 20 seconds into the EP, one thing is clear - this isn't just another debut EP from a new artist. It’s a statement from an artist who’s ready to share her talents and become a voice for listeners, fans, & haters, alike. This is Aleesha Mayo, and she's here to claim her spot in the rap game, type shit.
