With female Hip Hop at an all-time high, Snowy enters the fray.

Emerging Snowy is ready to become a force to be reckoned with in the new status quo. Today, Paris, TX native released her second album of the year, delivering her Snowflake album. After releasing a single of the same title in 2019, for her second outing, Snowy taps Gwalla Cobain and fellow Texan S3nsi Molly on the 11-track collection which contains her best work yet.

The “Blocked” hitmaker has been building an undeniable buzz since her initial arrival in 2018 and followed her breakout success with notable mentions, “Man Up,” “Go” and “Mike Jones.” And with Snowflake, she seizes the moment, “Be U and be great at it, ” she told Instagram followers in a caption with a photo of her on music video set. “A thread that the devil was working overtime to stop but AHT AHT, we working harder. Thank you @b.moore.creative for making this video so perfect & fitting for me. Also thank you @tonyvisiontelevision and @alfarofilms for collabing on the project. Thanks @chaddyleedfw for everything bts and thanks @kristoferkoutture for the bomb furniture pieces (check him out for some custom pieces)!!! and of course @dillondeltoro did the damn thing on my face overwhelmed!! The amount of work that these guys put it on and off the screen video bout to be a CINEMA.”

The new album follows her top of the year project, entitled, It’s Snowing in Texas. The featureless debut project features standout songs “Bossy.O,” “Snowflake” and “Blocked.” The album created a trajectory for the new sensation to the top of Texas Hip Hop notoriety that set up anticipation for today’s release.

Snowflake is the perfect jump-on point for any newfound fans. Among the 11 new songs is breakout cuts “Addin’ Up,” “Wak” and “Jet Li.” This album proves that Snowy, in a wave of carbon copy progressively proactive female rappers, is a one-of-a-kind artist. Aside from the undeniable sex appeal, her star power lies in her sharp, vivacious and dominating wordplay.

Snowflake is available now on Inner Circle Music Group.

The world of music is a melting pot of cultures, sounds, and stories. In this exclusive interview with Shah Cypha on “On The Grynd Live,” we get an inside look at KOKO, an artist whose journey from Finland to New York City exemplifies the grind and passion that drive the music industry. KOKO’s story is one of diversity, self-empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams.A Blend of Cultures: KOKO’s International Soundscape

KOKO’s music is a testament to her international background. Hailing from Finland and spending part of her life in Brussels, Belgium, she brings a blend of Northern European sophistication and Middle European jazz and funk to her music. It’s this eclectic mix that sets her apart, making her sound a breath of fresh air in the New York scene.

KOKO mentions her fondness for the jazz and funk she experienced in Brussels, stating, “I definitely have like funk elements in my music, especially from the time when we lived in Brussels, because we went to see like a lot of jazz, for example, at all times.” This richness in artistry isn’t just serendipitous; it’s intentional and a core part of who she is as an artist.

The New York City Metamorphosis

Moving to the epicenter of varied artistic expression, New York City, KOKO continued to evolve her craft. It’s here that she found the latitude to further her studies in sound engineering and delve deeper into the music world. Attending SAE Institute of Technology was a decision that would shape her future, immersing her in a community that lives and breathes sound.

Yet, it isn’t just about the music for KOKO. It’s about being “in motion,” as she refers to her debut LP, aptly titled “Coco Motion.” This project encapsulates her experiences and growth during her time in the States. Each song represents a timestamp, chronicling her evolution from an international student to a New York artist. “It’s like a timeline, almost like how my journey has been here,” she reflects.

The Beacon of Self-love and Empowerment

Amid the beats and melodies, there’s an underlying narrative in KOKO’s music: the importance of self-love and empowerment. These are not just themes but the lifeblood of her creative expression. KOKO is on a mission to inspire, guide, and remind listeners of their inherent worth and capacity for love.

She doesn’t shy away from her advocacy for mental health, recognizing its significance in today’s society. For KOKO, music is a medium for healing and spiritual growth. “My sound is conscious pop,” she says, signaling the reflective quality of her songs and their purpose to resonate on a deeper level with her audience.

As we recap the indelible impression KOKO has made in her interview with Shah Cypha, it’s clear that her trajectory is not simply one of personal ambition but also of universal resonance. Her music, imbued with both her Finnish and Brussels-influenced roots, has found a nurturing home in New York City, blossoming into a soundtrack of self-development and positive vibrations. With a firm stance on female empowerment and mental health, KOKO’s presence in the industry goes beyond entertainment; it’s a catalyst for transformation and healing. Her upcoming LP, “KOKOmotion,” is set to ripple through the collective consciousness, reminding us all to stay in perpetual movement toward our highest selves.
