Declared “eminently danceable, with up-tempo break beats, electronic flourishes, and double-Dutch-like rhymes,” by the The New York Times, the MC’s bouncy playground jams will be pumping out of every actual schoolyard—and car stereo, club, block party, and house party—just in time for summer.
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. Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and the Fader have been anxiously awaiting the album’s arrival, but nobody is more psyched than the colorful MC herself.
“I'm super excited about my album finally coming out—jumping for joy!” Rye Rye says. “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!”
Rye Rye unleashes her brand new single “Boom Boom” today! The bouncy track, produced by Rudy ‘Mayru’ Maya (Rihanna), samples the Vengaboys’ 1999 hit “Boom Boom Boom Boom.” Check it out:
The video for the single, directed by Legs (Florence And The Machine, Goldfrapp) will drop later this month.
21-year-old Rye Rye 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 DJ Blaqstarr. More recently she teamed with Scandinavian dance queen Robyn for summer’s smash, “Never Will Be Mine” and Far East Movement on their fall track “Jello.”

Right in the thick of New York Fashion Week, we unleashed bubbly, pint-size rapper (and M.I.A. protégé) Rye Rye into the streets of Times Square in search of stylish citizens. The Baltimore-native stopped her five favorite people — including a tourist from Frankfurt wearing red Navajo-print loose trousers, and a Fashion Week intern en route back to the office sporting Levi's cutoffs layered with an oversize black sheer number — and asked them about their looks. Watch the video to see what other ensembles caught Rye Rye's attention.
