MusicQ+A20/20 Visions: KittyThe self-declared "rap game Taylor Swift" on why she's stepping out from the PrydeShareLink copied ✔️July 23, 2013MusicQ+ATextOwen MyersPhotographyRachel ChandlerStylingEmma Wyman “I’m white and fucking terrible” declares Kitty on “Dead Island” the sweetly raging, intuitive rap track from her 2013 EP D.A.I.S.Y rage that saw the 20-year-old side-eye the ‘viral rap’ tag and drag it straight to Trash. “The weirdest thing I’ve done this year is become a rapper,” smiles the 20-year-old, whose divisive debut single “Okay Cupid” last year established her as a millennial mix of witty, drug-addled and chest-puffingly passionate. Since then, she’s quit her job at Claire’s Accessories in Daytona, Florida, moved to New York and dropped the ‘Pryde’ from her moniker. “I’d rather use my own name than a character,” she says. And just look into the blue glow of her iPhone for her ‘About Me’. “My most-used Emojis are the lipstick kiss and the 100,” she grins. “Obviously, I keep it at 100 at all times.” 1993 POP QUIZ Patricia Arquette or Demi Moore?Demi Moore.
