With the help of frequent collaborators, producers Matty P and D Clax, Kodie Shane has managed to create a vibrant sound, bringing emotion to the rap game.Check out her singles “Sad” featuring Lil Yachty, "NOLA" off of Big Trouble Little Jupiter, and watch her freestyling prowess on her verse on “All In.” Be sure to catch her at The Middle East Upstairs on Febuary 20th and look out for an interview with her coming soon.
