To her fanbase, Mudy is an exceptional hip-hop artist whose talent is only enhanced by her creativity that manifests in dope visuals. However, before that, a dearly departed best friend of hers encouraged her to get into rap. And his influence is why she’s still here.

“I was into poetry, and one of my best friends in high school started to rap. And I had already been rapping just a bit, but it was just for fun,” Mudy said. “He moved to Atlanta before me, and we would just call each other. And he would do his songs, and I would do my songs. He would just tell me, ‘you could go so big, you could go so big.'”

“So, I decided to dip my toe in it. I found a producer. I ended up making my cousin my manager, and then everything went left. It went so far. I left and then life was just hitting me back to back. I was like, ‘I just, I can’t do this anymore.’ I reached out to him, and he kind of really just like saved me from myself at that moment. And he ended up getting killed like a day later. I took that like now I have to do it. Now I have to pursue it. Now I have to go hard because now I have something to prove for both of us essentially.”
