ATLANTA’S BADDEST NEW RAP QUEEN
Get ready for the wild ride that is Anycia Symone Edwards! This ATL native is about to blow the roof off the rap game. Born on August 19, 1997, Anycia is not just another rapper—she’s a movement, an energy, a force that’s impossible to ignore. With her sharp punchlines and no-holds-barred attitude, she’s the artist your playlist didn’t know it needed.
A Hustler from Day One
Raised on the south side of Atlanta, Anycia’s life was far from ordinary. She grew up between her Barbadian heritage and family ties to L.A. and New Orleans, living with her grandma and mom who were the backbone of her world. While other kids were playing video games, Anycia was out here performing raps about Jesus at school Easter concerts—talk about range!
Even in high school, this future rap queen was shaking things up. Anycia bounced between schools, including two alternative ones (thanks to a broken "behavior contract"). You know she was never one to follow the rules. It was during these years that she recorded her first track "Queen of Atlanta," setting the stage for the fire she would later bring to the music scene. Oh, and did we mention she was training to be a barber? But day jobs? Not for her. She dropped it all to chase her rap dreams and never looked back.
Blowing Up the Game
Fast forward to 2022, heartbreak hit, and instead of crying, Anycia hit the studio. "Kimora Lee" was her debut single, but it was just the beginning of her savage takeover. The summer of 2023 dropped "BRB," a straight-up anthem that producer JetsonMade co-signed, and things really took off. Anycia broke the internet with a snippet of "So What," a track that had major stars like Kevin Durant and Drake shouting her out.
Then, the tour life came calling. In late 2023, she hit the road with Veeze on the Ganger Tour, getting the crowd hyped up coast to coast. By 2024, she was already flexing with "Back Outside," featuring none other than Latto. But the real mic drop moment? Her debut album Princess Pop That, a title that says it all. Released in April 2024, it cemented Anycia as a true rap force—someone who isn’t here to fit in but to take over.
Vibes on Vibes
Anycia’s sound? Straight trap with a twist. She started off with that melodic plugg flow, but now she’s all about raw, unfiltered vibes. Her voice is smoky and sultry—Rolling Stone called it "entrancing"—and she spits bars that’ll have you hooked. Her laid-back, I-don’t-give-a-damn delivery has earned her comparisons to rap heavyweights, but Anycia’s in a league of her own.
Her alter ego, Princess Pop That, is where the real magic happens. Think Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce but with a savage twist. This isn’t just an artist; it’s a whole vibe. Princess Pop That is bold, fierce, and unapologetically in your face.
Next Stop: Domination
Now that she’s independent and rolling with UnitedMasters, Anycia’s taking the game into her own hands. Next up? Catch her performing with Flo Milli on Kehlani’s Crash World Tour in 2024. With her no-fear attitude, insane energy, and unstoppable grind, Anycia isn’t just climbing the charts—she’s rewriting them. You better be ready, because she’s about to pop all the way off.
