It all started with some freestyle raps in her Dad’s car that went viral on social media, now Houston’s 12-year-old superstar rapper, Alaya High aka That Girl Lay Lay, is poised to take over the teen market and y’all grown-ups need to watch ya back too!
With an infectious hook game and bars that topple stars, Lay Lay burst onto the scene in 2018 with a crowd pleasing appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. That’s the same year she dropped her Tha Cheat Code music project to adoring fans that were clamoring for a full body of work from the energetic artist. Having laid claim to signing a record deal as the youngest female rapper ever to her own label, Fresh Rebel Muzik/EMPIRE, Lay Lay is wasting no time in bringing her girls on this ride with her.
Pushing their first single, “Long Hair,” Lay Lay and her two bouncy “Tha Slay Gang” group members, Sweets (hailing from South Carolina) and Sugar (repping North Carolina), are sure to dominate every pre-teen birthday, graduation and youth celebration party from here on out. The uptempo track is fun, super engaging and chorus friendly for the hyper masses. Lay Lay explains, “This is one of my favorite songs because its fun and something everyone can dance to. It’s about my friends ‘Tha Slay Gang’ and I sticking together, working hard and not getting into any drama! We try to demote bullies, and show the world that working hard pays off.”
The video takes place at a neon’d out roller skating rink, with the ladies leading a group of kids in a lit chant of the vocals and letting off one liners galore like: “I don’t want no drama/If you go dumb then I’mma go dumber/hot girl winters and hot girl summers/If you knew me Daddy I’m Balenciaga Momma!” Just got to love the kids.
Check for Lay Lay in national tv commercial campaigns with Old Navy

So much more is on the way for this uber talented MC.
