Anycia, one of Atlanta’s hottest newcomers, is preparing to release her debut album “Princess Pop That” on Friday, April 26. The vibrant rapper has already gone viral with tracks like “BRB” and “So What.”
Ahead of the album’s release, Anycia sat down with Rolling Stone to discuss the creative process behind the 14-track LP, which features guest appearances from artists like Luh Tyler, Latto, Cash Cobain, and KARRAHBOOO.
Regarding the making of “Princess Pop That,” Anycia stated, “It wasn’t no process. I be trying not to sound out of touch when I be saying this, but all of this that I’m doing is me being my 100 percent full self. It’s not no deep story. It’s literally like, ‘I was going through that at the time.'”
One of the album’s standout tracks is “BACK OUTSIDE” with Latto, where Anycia raps about getting mad at her boyfriend and deciding to go out and have fun instead. As she explained, “My nga [had] made me mad for real. I’m really back outside for real. Some girls will get mad at they nga and make a song, but me, it’s like, ‘Fk that nga. Where that money at? We goin’ outside, b**ch, with shorts on. We outside dancin’ at [Club QT].'”
In addition to her solo work, Anycia also has a collaboration with JID that could be released later this year. The two artists confirmed the joint effort on Twitter after JID previewed a new track during this year’s Dreamville Festival.
Overall, “Princess Pop That” is expected to further cement Anycia’s status as one of the rising stars in the Atlanta rap scene, as she continues to showcase her authentic and vibrant personality through her music.
