Sexyy Red serves up blush-inducing bangers that are as NSFW as they are infectious. Born Janae Nierah Wherry in 1998, the St Louis MC began getting traction when she reimagined Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” as an unabashed street rap. In 2023, she took a quantum leap forward with “Pound Town”, a Tay Keith-produced single that was immortalised for both its obscenity and its anthemic stature. The lyrics made the song a TikTok sensation, and the beat made it a club staple—a theme song for pregaming and a night of dance-floor thrills. Riding its momentum, she put out Hood Hottest Princess, bridging the gap between mid-2000s crunk and trap with tracks such as “SkeeYee”. Her hitmaker status was only underscored by the release of 2024's In Sexyy We Trust, which featured the hard-hitting “Get It Sexyy” and the dirty, lackadaisical, Drake-guesting “U My Everything”.
