In an intimate and wildly entertaining interview, rising rapper Anycia joined Angie Martinez for a conversation that felt less like a press stop and more like a moment between friends. Full of wit, personality, and undeniable confidence, Anycia held court and offered a revealing glimpse into her journey, creative process, and what fans can expect from her upcoming project, Grady Baby, executive produced by DJ Drama.
🎤 A Natural Star from the First Beat
From the moment the cameras started rolling, Anycia’s presence filled the room. Candid and charismatic, she was quick to call out some of her biggest pet peeves with comedic precision.
“I hate V-necks. Like, passionately,” she laughed.
And as for people who bite their nails and spit them out?
“That’s criminal behavior.”
It was the kind of unfiltered honesty that instantly set the tone for the rest of the conversation.
🎶 Karaoke, But Make It a Concert
When the topic of karaoke came up, Anycia’s face lit up. Her dream setlist includes Beyoncé’s “Love on Top” and Tink’s “Treat Me Like Somebody,” and she made it clear: this isn’t your average karaoke night.
“I’m turning it into a full-on concert. I want the mic, lights, all that.”
It’s a playful example of what makes her unique — the performance never turns off, even when she’s just having fun.
💫 Her Superpower? Commanding Any Room
Asked about her superpower, Anycia didn’t miss a beat.
“I dominate every room I walk into.”
That confidence, she explained, was earned — built through life experience, a strong family foundation, and personal growth. It’s a presence that doesn’t ask for permission.
🚧 The Blueprint Was DIY
Before she caught industry buzz, Anycia was already laying bricks. She recalled filming her earliest videos on a GoPro and managing everything herself — long before she found herself collaborating with DJ Drama.
“We met on some real organic energy. Now he’s producing the whole tape — it just makes sense.”
With Grady Baby, she’s entering a new chapter but keeping her independent spirit at the center.
🎭 More Than Music
While her bars speak for themselves, Anycia is dreaming far beyond the booth. With aspirations that touch fashion, film, and culture, she aims to craft an identity as iconic as Marilyn Monroe, but through the lens of modern Black Southern femininity.
“I want girls to look at me and feel like they can do anything.”
💌 Love, Off the Record
Yes, she’s in a relationship with another artist but she’s keeping it low-key.
“We keep it cute and private. No songs together yet… just vibes and support.”
The decision to keep things personal, not performative, reflects a larger theme in the conversation: authenticity over industry games.
🎵 “Grady Baby” Is a Time Capsule with an Edge
Due out soon, Grady Baby blends nostalgic samples with confident, affirming lyrics. It’s a project rooted in personal history and designed to inspire.
“It’s the type of music that makes you walk different… like, head high.”
With DJ Drama at the helm, the project promises to channel classic mixtape energy while still feeling distinctly her own.
😂 Game Time: “Check It or Let It Slide”
The interview wrapped with a laugh-filled rapid-fire segment where Anycia weighed in on everything from sketchy group chats to oat milk etiquette. Her reactions? Bold, honest, and hilarious a perfect closer to a conversation that never pulled punches.
🎯 The Takeaway
With Grady Baby on the way and her voice only getting louder, Anycia is proving that she’s not just “next up” she’s now.
Authentic, aspirational, and unapologetically Southern, her star is rising fast — and she’s taking full control of her narrative.
