Houston native Monaleo is one of the boldest and brightest talents in today's hip-hop scene, a gifted lyricist with audacious raps to match her fearless personality. The 21-year-old's unapologetic anthem "Beating Down Yo Block" went viral on TikTok in 2021; since then, Monaleo has leaned all the way into her star power by following up with more big moments. She recently went on her first tour with fellow rap star Flo Milli while simultaneously dropping her "Body Bag" single, another banging bop adding to her epic rise.
Monaleo already has features with Houston's Maxo Kream and Muni Long under her belt, not to mention festival appearances at Rolling Loud and SXSW 2022. Her debut album is also on the way — details are still scarce, but a 2023 release would be the perfect time to capitalize on all the attention she has right now.
