She started to rap in October 2006, becoming an MC at monthly dance parties hosted by DJ duo Flosstradamus (Josh Young, of Flosstradamus, is Melisa's brother), who were featured in MTV's ''My Block'' that same year. She made ''URBs "The Next 1000" cover in April 2007, and was signed to DJ A-Trak's label, Fool's Gold, who released her first single "Pro Nails", which features Kanye West. Kid Sister later signed with Downtown Records, who re-released "Pro Nails" to critical acclaim. Kid Sister also appears on Tittsworth's "WTF", from his debut album ''12 Steps'', with Pase Rock. She had also finished a mixtape with A-Trak.〔 In Fall 2009, Kid Sister finished recording her debut studio album. The title was changed from ''Dream Date'' to ''Ultraviolet''. The album was produced by the likes of Rusko, The Count & Sinden, XXXChange, and Brian Kennedy, and includes a collaboration with English singer Estelle titled "First Ladies", which is a remake of Queen Latifah's 1989 acclaimed track "Ladies First" from her debut album ''All Hail the Queen''. Her single "Control" is featured in the 2009 music video game ''DJ Hero'', combined with Rihanna's "Disturbia". The album's lead single was "Right Hand Hi", produced by Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso of house DJ group Swedish House Mafia. "I think a lot of people are going to be surprised with the fact that there's a bunch of raw hip-hop records on there", according to A-Trak. "It's not all up tempo clubby stuff. I think a lot of people are going to be impressed with her growth also because when she made a lot of the records that people have heard by now, she was just starting to rap." In late 2010, Kid Sister released a mixtape titled ''Kiss Kiss Kiss''. She has also been working on her second album and on an EP. Scoop DeVille, who worked on Kiss Kiss Kiss, and The Neptunes are producing a large amount of the songs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kid Sister」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
