Brittini,
or how you and I will have grown to know her “Catastrophic Bee”, is a 21 year
old female rapper from Norfolk, VA that I was immediately engaged in from her
style and her conscience music. Going through tons of submissions I admit I did
skip over a few just to get to hers, all
I seen were male MC’s…and well ladies first. She blew my mind with just one
little video she sent in, a freestyle inspired by one of my favorite rapper
Nas. She is one of Key and I’s favorite submissions and soon we have a surprise
for her…but we won’t be revealing that to her or our readers until later…oh the
Goal Diggers love surprises!
Her
first song ever written was a song called Juicy and she was always into rap but
started late 2012 and early 2013 and this song was her favorite because she
said it had all her emotions in it.
“I'm
so entrigued by music so I would never want to keep it under wraps. I honestly
feel like I have something to say to the world so I want everyone to hear
me. ”
She
has aspirations of going mainstream and someday getting signed with her music so
that her family will be taken care of. She even talked about starting her own
label to someday sign her own artist. Currently she’s working on her mixtape
but has many Youtube videos and music on soundcloud.
I asked Brittini what is it that her new listeners should know about her music
and she said “You'll never what's next- shit I barely know what's next. I would
like to consider my music spontaneous. Some lyrics are emotional, some may be
inspirational, some are sexual it depends on my mood and what I want to do.”
The advice she
gives to other aspiring rappers:
“Work
hard, keep perfecting your craft. Learn that feedback is great and useful, but
most importantly you must remember to differentiate between good feedback and
bad feedback. Some people don't know what they're talking about, some people
don't have an ear and don't even listen to lyrics, and the others are fucking
haters. The best advice I've gotten so far was from Yandy Smith and she said "Stay close to a DJ" and that’s very
important because a DJ is gonna crank your song and put you out there. Last but
not least, make something that can be played on the Radio. Without Radio hits,
you have nothing.”
Catastrophic
Bee gave a special shoutout to the Goal Diggers team:
“I
appreciate this opportunity to be on your blog. I'm so grateful and yall are so
cute lol but really I feel special. Keep doing your thing. I love to see my
sisters doing big things. That's love.”
