5She has been featured on [[Music/OddFuture The Internet's]] [[WordSaladTitle ''Purple Naked Ladies'']] and {{Music/Childish Gambino}}'s ''Royalty''. Her debut mixtape, ''Homeschool'', was released in 2012.

7Her style is a mellow, downbeat "cool" rapping, like R&B without the harmony. Like [[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} Earl Sweatshirt]], her rhyme schemes can be dauntingly complex. She bucks the classic trend of [[BoastfulRap rap braggadocio]].

16!!'''Tropes present in her music:'''
17* AlternativeHipHop: Although her muted, Neptunes-styled production is rather detached from the hard-beat sample heavy house-style hip hop, she has a lot in common stylistically with groups like [[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} OddFuture]], not surprising given her number of collaborations with them.
18* BreakupSong: '"You're Right"
19* LyricalColdOpen: "'Crosstown"
20* CloudCuckooLander: Can come off this way in both interviews and {{Studio Chatter}}.
21* ManicPixieDreamGirl
22* MelismaticVocals
23* NonAppearingTitle
24* PurpleProse
25* QuarrelingSong: "Julienne", some of [="Love2K"=].
26* SelfBackingVocalist
27* SpokenWordInMusic: An excellent example in ''Julienne'', as the whole song is a conversation between her and two guys, one of whom is her boyfriend. She sings her part, but neither of the boys do.
