For the second show of 2022, Anxious Beat had the pleasure of sitting down for a great chat with Detroit’s own Queen of Ghettotech Lil Mz 313 (LeRoyshia Antopia a.k.a. Kiki) back in November. Kiki starts her story outlining the importance of music on both a personal and artistic level - growing up surrounded by an eclectic mix of music as well as occasionally finding inspiration in tunes she's got going in the background while working. Her interest in writing lyrics started while she was a young kid still in high school - Kiki and her friend got into flipping songs and would  do a “dirty” version from a female’s perspective off tracks they used to hear on the radio back in the day during the magical era of the likes of Luke and 2 Live Crew. Later, the clubs, skating rinks and mixtapes would be the primary way for her to interact with the music, as well as still continuing to write and flip songs providing her own, female point of view, of the track. Around this time she also meets DJ Omega who came to introduce her to several other DJ’s and producers she’d come to work with in the future like DJ Godfather, DJ Rashad (R.I.P.) and DJ Clent to name a few. 

It truly was special and very educational to hear a female artist's perspective in this particular genre since, as we all know, there’s not many women making booty music and ghettotech to begin with. We talked about some of the various struggles and prejudice female artists in the music industry face - everything from being perceived as an “anonymous” female voice who just does a hook on a track, to being chastised for being a female, and in some cases a mom, verbalizing the same level nasty stuff as male rappers and mcees. Lastly, Kiki shares some exciting future plans and projects in the works as we also got legendary DJ Clent absolutely killing it behind the decks for 2h straight.
