In an intimate and wildly entertaining interview, rising rapper Anycia joined Angie Martinez for a conversation that felt less like a press stop and more like a moment between friends. Full of wit, personality, and undeniable confidence, Anycia held court and offered a revealing glimpse into her journey, creative process, and what fans can expect from her upcoming project, Grady Baby, executive produced by DJ Drama.
đ¤ A Natural Star from the First Beat
From the moment the cameras started rolling, Anyciaâs presence filled the room. Candid and charismatic, she was quick to call out some of her biggest pet peeves with comedic precision.
âI hate V-necks. Like, passionately,â she laughed.
And as for people who bite their nails and spit them out?
âThatâs criminal behavior.â
It was the kind of unfiltered honesty that instantly set the tone for the rest of the conversation.
đś Karaoke, But Make It a Concert
When the topic of karaoke came up, Anyciaâs face lit up. Her dream setlist includes BeyoncĂŠâs âLove on Topâ and Tinkâs âTreat Me Like Somebody,â and she made it clear: this isnât your average karaoke night.
âIâm turning it into a full-on concert. I want the mic, lights, all that.â
Itâs a playful example of what makes her unique â the performance never turns off, even when sheâs just having fun.
đŤ Her Superpower? Commanding Any Room
Asked about her superpower, Anycia didnât miss a beat.
âI dominate every room I walk into.â
That confidence, she explained, was earned â built through life experience, a strong family foundation, and personal growth. Itâs a presence that doesnât ask for permission.
đ§ The Blueprint Was DIY
Before she caught industry buzz, Anycia was already laying bricks. She recalled filming her earliest videos on a GoPro and managing everything herself â long before she found herself collaborating with DJ Drama.
âWe met on some real organic energy. Now heâs producing the whole tape â it just makes sense.â
With Grady Baby, sheâs entering a new chapter but keeping her independent spirit at the center.
đ More Than Music
While her bars speak for themselves, Anycia is dreaming far beyond the booth. With aspirations that touch fashion, film, and culture, she aims to craft an identity as iconic as Marilyn Monroe, but through the lens of modern Black Southern femininity.
âI want girls to look at me and feel like they can do anything.â
đ Love, Off the Record
Yes, sheâs in a relationship with another artist but sheâs keeping it low-key.
âWe keep it cute and private. No songs together yet⌠just vibes and support.â
The decision to keep things personal, not performative, reflects a larger theme in the conversation: authenticity over industry games.
đľ âGrady Babyâ Is a Time Capsule with an Edge
Due out soon, Grady Baby blends nostalgic samples with confident, affirming lyrics. Itâs a project rooted in personal history and designed to inspire.
âItâs the type of music that makes you walk different⌠like, head high.â
With DJ Drama at the helm, the project promises to channel classic mixtape energy while still feeling distinctly her own.
đ Game Time: âCheck It or Let It Slideâ
The interview wrapped with a laugh-filled rapid-fire segment where Anycia weighed in on everything from sketchy group chats to oat milk etiquette. Her reactions? Bold, honest, and hilarious a perfect closer to a conversation that never pulled punches.
đŻ The Takeaway
With Grady Baby on the way and her voice only getting louder, Anycia is proving that sheâs not just ânext upâ sheâs now.
Authentic, aspirational, and unapologetically Southern, her star is rising fast â and sheâs taking full control of her narrative.
