Artist Spotlight: Flo Milli
Flo Milli, an Alabama rapper, rose from underground status to achieving streaming numbers in the millions after her 2018 single sparked a viral internet response. Her bold and self-assured track "Beef FloMix" introduced the rapper's playful persona and smooth flow to a massive new audience. She leveraged this newfound attention in 2020 with the release of her debut mixtape, Ho, Why Is You Here?, which received critical acclaim. In 2022, she continued to release successful singles such as "PBC".
Growing up in Mobile, Alabama, Flo Milli began rapping at age 11 and released her first single "No Hook" when she was only 16 years old in 2015. Over the next few years, she released music intermittently, but it wasn't until her 2018 remix of the instrumental from Playboi Carti and Ethereal's song "Beef" that her fame began to take root.
Flo Milli has a dedicated fan base that call themselves “Flo Militants” that has grown significantly since her rise to fame in 2018. Her unique style and unapologetic confidence have resonated with listeners, particularly young women who relate to her empowering message. Fans often praise her lyrical ability and playful flow, as well as her ability to infuse different genres into her music. Milli's social media presence also plays a significant role in her connection to her fans, as she regularly engages with them and shares personal glimpses into her life. Her fanbase is often vocal about their support for her and her music, and many eagerly anticipate her future releases and live performances.
Her most recent release, “Einstein” is a testament to Flo Milli’s evolution as an artist. In her rapid-fire track backed by booming trap beats and a rolling xylophone tune, she asserts “I think he wants me because I’m one of a kind”. She makes several bold lyrical claims in this song, including nods to Italian cuisine, an exquisite wine, and the renowned physicist after whom the song is named. With the declaration "I'm Flo Milli, I do what I wanna," there is no question that she exudes an unapologetic sense of self-determination.
