Memphis Queens Hustle and Flow-The Introduction

Meet The Queens: Lady PaperChaser

Lady PaperChaser

There are not enough words in existence that adequately describe the dynamic, hustler known as Lady PaperChaser; so we created one, Trapnificent, a word that aptly describes her love of the “trap” and the way she magnificently represents it.    The self-proclaimed “female trapstar” was raised in Memphis Tennessee and has a hustler’s work ethic to prove it.  As she states “From the block to the booth, I get it in!”.

A veteran “mixtape maniac” and original song writer, Lady Paperchaser”s flow possesses the iconic Memphis sound with a twist that’s uniquely her own.  Available for features, ghost writing, stage performances and videos,  Lady PaperChaser represents Memphis to the fullest.  Memphis, TN Stand UP!

Meet The Queens: Lucky

Raised in a single parent household with 6 brothers and sister, Lucky found her escape through music by battle rapping and competing. Lucky, whose microphone stylings are very similar to her personality, is laid back and fun loving with a charismatic delivery that cannot be denied. 

Also an athlete, Lucky always choose the number 7 on her jerseys, symbolizing her love for her siblings and a challenge that she could control her own destiny and create her own “luck”.  Her hard work and diligence paid off and she would later be called "Lucky 7" at her very last high school softball game as her team cheered her on to hit winning home run.

Out spoken Lucky, or as her mom called her, "The Mouth of The South” Lucky, is straight forward and direct, especially as it pertains to her music.  Her straight shooting attitude allows her music to resonate with a diverse audience. As the saying goes “real recognizes real” and one listen to Lucky and the audience has no choice but to agree.   "Dare to be different” is one of her favorite quotes and she lives that to the fullest every day.

. Lucky refuses to comply with industry pressure to be the next Lil Kim and Foxy Brown and she has definitely forged her own lane with her unforgettable flow and demeanor.
