Chicago rapper Queen Key aims to empower women and challenge hip-hop gender norms with her wildly funny and sexually explicit rhymes.
• Queen grew up in suburban Chicago and parts of Indiana. From an early age, she told everyone she was going to be famous. • She made her first mixtape at age seven and later adopted the name Baby Niko. Around 2015, she dubbed herself Queen Key and began taking music seriously. • “Baked as a Pie,” one of the first songs she recorded as Queen Key, became a local hit. • In 2018, she released her debut EP, Eat My P***y, which features Tink, King Louie, and Dreezy. The single “My Way” became a massive streaming hit. • The follow-up, naturally titled Eat My P***y Again, arrived in 2019. • In 2020, she released a remix of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP.”
