Daisha McBride, also known as "The Rap Girl", is an American rapper and songwriter.[1][2][3][4]

Early life

Born January 2, 1996, McBride is from Knoxville, Tennessee.[5][6][3] She was first introduced to music through church, where she would often sing in the choir, and play the violin and piano.[7] Starting from the age of 10,[6] she became introduced into the Hip-Hop/Rap scene when she wasn't able to give her father anything for Father's Day, instead, she delivered him with a Father's Day rap. She took Rap more seriously after somebody told her, "Your talent is God's gift to you and what you do with it is your gift back to God." McBride graduated from Harden Valley Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2014.

Career

McBride received the nickname "The Rap Girl" during high school, where she was known for freestyling in the lunch room.[7] She reached internet fame through "freestyle" videos uploaded to YouTube in 2011, and Twitter, Instagram, and Vine videos recorded in her college dorm at Middle Tennessee State University around 2015.[2] She's stated that some of her main inspirations are Nicki Minaj, Kehlani, and Missy Elliot.[1][7]

In November 2024, McBride was listed as one of the top 10 fastest growing artists on TikTok after Crash Adams released a video of McBride freestyling a verse to "Hotel Party" on a street in downtown Los Angeles.[8][9]
