But her 2020 EP,Alias, was anything but.

Your lyrics onNymphfeel more tender than your previous music.

A lot of songs onNymphwere more sung than rapped.

Was that a difficult transition?Rapping for me is easy because there are no rules.

DoesNymphfeel like an entirely new direction for you as an artist?No.

For me, all my projects are definitely linked: I wouldnt have gotten toNymphwithout working onAlias.

Each song feels like a chapter in that communication.

I know I play into certain stereotypes that exist, or I subvert them.

Ive always kind of existed in that space even beyond music.

I wanted to lean into it since that was how people perceived me anyway and take ownership of it.

Its been harder to feel comfortable being vulnerable, but its also been more thrilling.

I loved Coochie (a bedtime story) because it felt so unexpectedly playful.

The subject matter was quite serious to me, honestly.

A lot of your music onAliasfeels so danceable.
