In an exclusive press statement to Medium Creative Agency, the Issa Rae-approved "Florida Girl" reveals: "I do lashes, so I have a lot of respect for women in the beauty industry. I don't hear a lot of songs that pay homage to beauty service providers so I took it upon myself to give us an anthem."

Thereโ€™s something in the water. From the City Girls to Kodak Black, with a long list of others, the Sunshine State has been the stomping ground for hip-hopโ€™s culture shifters. Entertainer Lil $o$o is looking to keep that tradition alive. Despite being native to Chicago, since moving to Miami in her early childhood, sheโ€™s proudly claimed it as her musical home.

The 22-year-old Colombiana, whose real name is Sofia Donado, has persevered through trauma and pain and continues to show up for herself and her 3-year-old son, who she's raising as a single mom. Lil $o$o's boyfriend was gunned down in 2019, while sitting in his car, leaving her without a partner and their son without a father. He was in the music business, and after his passing, Lil $o$o found healing in discovering her musical voice. The result was upbeat rhythms intended to make people dance, smile, and feel free. It was the only way she knew how to make things better.

After laying the groundwork with promo singles "Better Life," "Go Ooh," "Bad Attitude," and "Woo Tang," the rising rapstress made her official debut Summer of 2022 with '$o$o World.' Executive produced by mentor and label head LunchMoney Lewis, the 14-track collection of records includes additional instrumentation from JulianBeatz, SFL Xavi, TheonlyDiet, Toju, BrianXWhite, ยจC38C,ยจC39Cand ยจC40C. Guest features come by way of ยจC41C recording artist ยจC42C, ยจC43C affiliate ยจC44C, ยจC45C vocalist ยจC46C, and ยจC47C.
