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.

Meet The Queens: Lady Guttah-Bug

Lady Guttah-Bug
Multi-faceted, Versatile, diverse, real, street, Hood.  Not necessarily words that are typically associated with each other, yet much like the woman they describe and the streets she represents, Lady Guttah-Bug encompasses all of that and much more.  More than your average and definitely anything but stereotypical, Lady Guttah-Bug  delivers as one of the best up and coming rappers in Memphis.
Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Guttah-Bug has always had a love for music.   Described by many as an “old soul” ,  Guttah-Bug ‘s music reflective of her musical influences.   “ I love old school music, Willie hutch, David Ruffin,Isley Brothers, Chaka Khan,Anita Baker, Jill Scott,  Erykah Badu , Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, jazz and of course local music legends, 8Ball and MJG and
Playa Fly”.  Writing music was always a hobby but Guttah-Bug began writing music and performing seriously in 2004.  Her  songs,  “Grindin for the shine” and “Storm” were instant  street certified classics and helped her make her mark on the local music scene.  Her music, like the artist, is gritty but has a distinctively smooth undertone.  Don’t be fooled, Guttah-Bug is strong and independent but she doesn’t shy away from her feminine side.  Her music reflects her life and her history and provides a message that anyone can relate too.
Due to personal issues, Guttah-Bug took a step back from music,  but now  she is back and  more determined than ever to show Memphis  and the world what Guttah really means.
