The battle for the title Rap Queen has been waged since female rappers stepped on the scene. However, rapper Christie Polke, going by her industry name the Bronze Goddess, has no intentions of contesting for the title “Queen”. Even though she honors and respects all female artists that came before her, she begs the question ‘What’s a Queen compared to a GODDESS?’ 
Born under the solar sign Libra, and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, the Bronze Goddess, which is a reference to her complexion and elevated mindset, is an innovative hip-hop artist possessing a style seamlessly & uniquely interwoven with traditional rap. She is a Divinity compared to other artists, male and female alike. She is a part of a new wave of hip-hop artists whose content transcends the norm with expansive, soul stirring topics that elevate the image of female rappers (and women in general) beyond degrading monikers that society has become all too familiar with. 
The Bronze Goddess rightfully takes her place among socially conscious, hip-hop culture, which she intuitively calls ‘Conscious Trap’. With a keen interest in African Spirituality and meditation, this multidimensional artist also moonlights as a motivational speaker.  ThoughtCO.com defined conscious rap as “a sub-genre of hip-hop that focuses on creating awareness and imparting knowledge. Conscious rappers traditionally decry violence, discrimination, and other societal ailments. It's propelled by the conviction that radical social change comes through knowledge of self and personal discovery.” It’s an enlightened style of rap which is slowly shining through the dark clouds of the gangster rap cliché. When asked for her take on being a conscious artist, she states “It means being mindful of what you do and say; being surrounded by like-minded people as-well as being active in the community and leading by example”.
Having what is considered an “up North” style, Bronze Goddess boasts a flow laced with influences by industry leaders Jay Z, Nas, B.I.G, DMX, Jada Kiss, Fabolous, J Cole, and Dave East. Also present are influential elements of Southern rappers like Lil Wayne, Future, Rick Ross, Yo Gotti, Jeezy among many others. Aqeel The Nubian, renowned Producer/Independent Record Label and editor for “Get This Wisdom Magazine” stated that his heart was pleased to work with a woman of her caliber. Sha’mheka El a Project Coordinator for “Industry Access” also stated “Upon listening to your frequency I am a supporter...a vibration such as the one you manifested compelled my attention”. 
The Bronze Goddess realizes that it may be considered objectionable to think of her artistry as “branding”, however, she realizes the importance as it relates to her career development. How she presents herself to her followers regarding her legacy, is something she wants to nurture and control. As an up and coming artist, she strives to establish a brand that is an enjoyable experience for her fans. 
The Bronze Goddess has been diligently working to generate a “buzz” and build a dedicated fan base, one that resonates with her frequency. She has been tirelessly rehearsing and performing to hone her craft and create an immersive experience for her listeners. She is currently in studio, working on a mixtape and feature records with other established artists. Be sure to follow her journey as she works to leave her unique mark on the music industry.
