7. Brittany Street
Repping: Indianapolis
Influenced by hip-hop icons like Large Professor and J Dilla 24-year-old, Brittany Street’s songwriting skills are what set her apart form the rest. She raps and sings with an assertive flow that forces her listeners to see beyond her beauty and dissect her rhymes. Street’s music also reflects her days as an alto-saxophone player, and her talent is best described as electronic-jazz-meets-boom-bap.
Suggested Tracks: ‘Gone,’ ‘I-N-D-I-A-N-A-P-O-L-I-S,’ ‘Hello Hollywood’

Written/Interviewed by : GangStarr Girl
Constantly getting thrown against lockers during middle school years is enough to make some people scarred and bitter as adults but not Brittany Street. She was picked on because of her small stature but dealt with her teen angst by writing rhymes. By the time she was in high school, the petite self-proclaimed martian (listen to her mixtape for an explanation for that reference) became a force to be reckoned with by fighting back lyrically and becoming so good that people began to try to battle her with little success.
Now at 24, she has already gotten the chance to work with some of her industry idols like Large Professor and J Dilla and appeared on a Le Da Soul, a mixtape tribute celebrating 20 years of De La Soul by Mick Boogie, Terry Urban, Lemar and Dauley and De La themselves. Her latest mixtape, Confessions of a Martian, released in partnership with illroots.com last year solidified Street’s place as a potential dominant force in the music industry. It showcased that the Indianapolis, Indiana native might be small, but her aggressive flow, lyrical prowess, writing skills, and nimble ability to switch back and forth between rapping and singing are why the budding super nova will continue to make a big impression on new listeners. GangStarrGirl.com caught up with her to talk about her songwriting camp Good comPENy, her father’s unique jazz history lessons and what’s next on her musical agenda.
