Artist of the Week: Kid Sister.

The Chicago hip hopstress Kid Sister is our Hip Hop Official Artist of the Week. Her genre blending style is equal parts hip hop, classic Chicago house, and new wave electro, mixed together and covered in spunk. The majority of you were probably introduced this ball of energy when she hit the scene back in 2008 with her Kanye backed track "Pro Nails."

If you're one of the few who lives under a rock and are not familiar with Melissa, it's time to take notice. She linked up with the indie record label, Fool's Gold, which is run by Kanye's DJ and her current boyfriend, A-Trak. She plans on releasing her debut album, Dream Date, later this year. She talked to HHO about her upcoming album, her live shows, and what she has on tap for the rest of 2009. Here's a hint, whatever the hell she wants...Personally, I think she needs to add "Red Bull spokesperson" to her resume. After the interview, cop yourself a free download of her latest song.
