"He saw that I had a love for music so he made sure that I knew about all the things I need to know to be in the music industry." For the past few years, she's put in work with projects like 2018's "The Definition of P.A.P." and her "Pretty and Paid" series, as well as hot singles like "Talk 2 Cheap" and "Gucci Bucket Hat." The 23-year-old up-and-comer says Trina has always supported her throughout the years and they've hung out often enough that when the opportunity arose to ask the hip-hop pioneer to hop on a song, "I just shot for the stars." For Chanel, it was "amazing" to be stamped by one of her rap inspirations.Ĭhanel, born Jaida Chanel Roby, hails from her small town of Milledgeville, GA - a little ways away from the South's hip-hop mecca, Atlanta - but knows she's destined to become "one of the greats." By age six, Chanel was already writing poetry. "I know that's going to be a legendary moment because she's sampling her record and she's on it," Chanel excitedly shares of Trina's cameo, adding that it marks her first-ever female feature. Up-and-Coming Rapper Lola Brooke Believes She's "On the Verge" of Her Breakthrough Moment As promised, every other song on "Paptivities" adopts a different style too - from the club-banger "Left Right" to the melodic "Mind Games" and "Summertime" (featuring Fredo Bang) to the trap-inspired "Checkmate." But one of the most meaningful releases off "Paptivities," Chanel says, is "Who's Bad" - a modern update to Trina's "Da Baddest B*tch," featuring the Diamond Princess herself. The record in question is the EP's opener, "Pap Stories," an introspective track where Chanel raps about everything from wearing "war wounds" to brushing off haters who doubted her. This is a record where I got really vulnerable and talked about the good, bad, and the ugly."
I'm super excited for that one because people don't really get to hear transparency from artists.
"I have one song where I'm telling my fans all my business. "On this project right here, every song sounds completely different," Chanel explains. Pap Chanel is ready to shock the world with her latest EP, "Paptivities." After a nearly two-year gap between 2021's "Pretty & Paid 2.0" and her new six-track project, released May 12, the rising rapper tells POPSUGAR why she took her time crafting "Paptivities" - and why the EP sounds vastly different from her previous releases.
