Baltimore’s premier dance-rap spitfire Rye Rye will hit the road this fall supporting Kreayshawn on tour kicking off November 1st at Oklahoma City’s Kamp’s 1310 Lounge. The twenty-eight city tour crosses the US and Canada making stops at NYC’s Irving Plaza on November 15th and The Avalon in Hollywood on December 15th.

Rye Rye recently released her eagerly anticipated debut album GO! POP! BANG! which The New York Times declared, “eminently danceable, with up-tempo break beats, electronic flourishes, and double-Dutch-like rhymes.”

GO! POP! BANG! sounds exactly like its title: an energetic rush of Baltimore beats by Blaqstarr, M.I.A., Bangladesh, Steve Angello, and more topped by Rye Rye’s motor-mouth flow. Says Rye Rye, “GO! POP! BANG! feels like a breath of fresh air and you guys can expect some booty popping, heavy bass, fun and tight rhymes over massive beats!

Dubbed ‘the voice of Baltimore,’ the 21-year-old hip hop dynamo is no stranger to the limelight. She was the first artist signed to M.I.A’s label N.E.E.T. Records and past collaborations have included hits with mentors M.I.A., Diplo and Blaqstarr. She’s also joined forces with Scandinavian dance queen Robyn for the smash single, 'Never Will Be Mine' and Far East Movement on their fall track 'Jello.'

Rye Rye’s new single 'Boom Boom' is available now at all digital partners. The bouncy track, produced by Rudy ‘Mayru’ Maya (Rihanna), samples the Vengaboys’ 1999 hit 'Boom Boom Boom Boom.' Check out the video for the single, directed by Georgie Greville and Geremy Jasper of LEGS' (Florence And The Machine, Goldfrapp) here.



M.I.A. first stumbled upon her protégé on Blaqstarr’s 2006 club hit 'Shake It Down to the Ground' (Rye Rye got her break after rapping on his answering machine) and invited the then-teenage dancer-turned-MC on the road. Rye Rye then released mind-blowingly catchy jams like badass thumper 'Drop' and the sing-songy M.I.A. team-up 'Sunshine,' which Rolling Stone called “a sweet, percolating electro-pop cut that sounds like Judy Jetson’s fave double-dutch jam.

Rye Rye’s quick-tongued rhymes might sound playful, but her witty tracks hit hard, and they’ve been connecting with fans all over the world.
