Get To Know Female Rapper Gloss Da Boss
There’s only one female rapper holding down the game right now and reading your BIO, you and Nicki Minaj seem similar in style and branding.
What is unique about Gloss Da Boss and what separates you from all the other pretty chic’s out there wanting to be taken seriously, as a rapper?
What separates me is my upbringing. I was born in Harlem, raised in Atlanta which gives me the ability to switch it up and be very versatile and not stuck in a box. I call my style urban suburban because I was raised in the suburbs but surrounded by the urban culture, which of course is Hip-Hop. I’ve always had the love for it since I was a little girl. I take my craft very seriously and I write my own raps, not throwing shade, but I respect all of the female rappers that do. I’m an entertainer and I spend long hours in rehearsals dancing and perfecting my show, whenever I’m not in the booth or in the studio writing. So when you see Gloss on stage you best believe you’ll get your money’s worth.
We all know that the rap game can be pretty brutal to women, especially very beautiful women. What have been some of your own personal experiences (let downs, struggles, earning respect in the game) you’ve had to face and how did you over come them?
Some of my own personal experiences have been being misunderstood because I’m not afraid to step away and be different. It’s also because I have a “think big” mentality and some people don’t get where I’m trying to go. Then on top of it, because people think there can only be one female rapper at a time, comparisons are at an all time high, which is cool because it just motivates me to push harder. The more people see and hear me, they’ll make their own list of what separates me from the next chic on the mic. I’m not afraid of a challenge and I have a great support system, so I just keep it moving and kill it at all time.
What does hip-hop mean to you and how do you blend your gloss, being a boss and “mean 16 bars” to emphasize your uniqueness?
Hip-Hop is my very first love. Hip-Hop to me is a form of poetry; it’s an art. It is the easel and I’m the painter. My Gloss, my bossiness and ill 16’s make me who I am. My wordplay, my flows, my versatility all go into my craft. Don’t let the lip gloss and pearls fool you; anything I do, I go for the kill. Once I tell people I rap, off the rip they think I’m gonna be prissy on the mic. But I love it because it shocks them every time.
Many rap artists thinks that free-styling is writing a rhyme, memorizing it and then regurgitating it on command. How important is it to be able to freestyle (spontaneous rhyming) as a rapper?

Following a summer that saw the Dutch titan complete his debut residency on the world famous island of Ibiza, the Revealed Recordings head honcho and global DJ star Hardwell now returns to his adopted party home of Ushuaïa Ibiza for another season of spectacular summer fiestas. Always keen to push the envelope of his production as well as his events, summer 2015 will see Hardwell launch an all-new event for his exclusive Ibiza show – Hardwell’s Carnival!
Embodying the sound of a modern generation of dance-lovers, rave-worshipers and electronic enthusiasts, Hardwell announces his return to Ushuaïa Ibiza every Tuesday, for 12 epic weeks of Hardwell’s Carnival. Picking up from last years hand-picked roster of talent which spanned a range of fresh, upcoming artists mixed with a selected group of heavyweight star DJs, Hardwell and his team have been busy working on choosing an impressive array of A-list artists and emerging new talent for this years season on the White Isle, with full line-up details to be announced very soon.
Taking the Carnival concept to a whole other realm, as this exclusive new clubbing experience collides with the festivities of dance, culture, costumes and most importantly, music, expect to hear the peak-time workings of Hardwell and friends sound-tracking the moments of the Summer season, surrounded by stilt walkers, masquerades and carnage-creators, that are unlike anything else Ibiza will see in 2015.
Hot off scooping 5 IDMA awards this year with accolades including ‘Best Global DJ’ and ‘Best Podcast or Radio Mix Show’ for his globally syndicated ‘Hardwell on Air’ show, Hardwell takes his total of industry-recognized IDMAs received to 11 – a rare and impressive feat for any world-class electronic artist, only signalling his sparkling future ahead – with his commanding attention to detail and driving force in the live arena, poised to accelerate even further for 2015. With his debut album ‘United We Are’ shooting up the global charts to claim the #2 position on the iTunes Album Chart worldwide, Hardwell’s next offering is set to follow in similar suit as he readies for the release of his brewing Summer anthem ‘Follow Me’ featuring Jason Derulo.
Since his first trip to the island of Ibiza in 2010, Hardwell’s career has swelled to arena-dominating status with his latest colossal offering being the launch party of his ‘United We Are’ album, as well as his world tour kick-off, which took place at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome with 2 sold-out events to rapturous applause on both nights! During the weekend’s launch event Hardwell beamed his sound global once again as hundreds of thousands tuned into the livestream across all four corners of the globe to watch one of the most in-demand artists of a generation deliver a show of truly memorable proportions and the Summer season madness in Playa d’en Bossa is next in line…
