Atlanta-based rapper Kodie Shane is a self-aware artist intent on shaking up the rap scene with a fluid talent that stems from her own identity. The artist told Billboard that growing up during the Barack Obama administration is what gives her confidence to be proud of the skin she's in — Black and queer. Her youth affords her a relentless energy that rids her of fear.
"I'm growing up, starting to have real relationships, and finding myself within my sexuality," she said to SSense. "I've never been hesitant. That's one of the things I try and tell the youth. You don't have to be scared."
With an ever-changing style that is difficult to replicate, Kodie continues to use her pen and paper to charge a younger generation full of confidence, love, acceptance, and bravery in living their life, their way, on their terms.
