Listening to this Bay Area brat-rapper is the sonic equivalent of a puke and rally: If you can get past the taste of vomit, you'll probably have a good time. Applying the lyrical flair of a stylized text message to simplistic, soulless cadences, the ex-White Girl Mob member flashes faux-gangsta panache over glitter-bomb mall-cruisers (see 2011 viral smash "Gucci Gucci"). The daughter of the Trashwomen's Elka Zolot comes off like a brash, female Fresh Prince for the YouTube generation -- that is, if Will got booted from Bel Air Academy for slangin' weed out of a Lisa Frank backpack. M.I.A.-backed rapper Rye Rye, Honey Cocaine and Chippy Nonstop open. MICHAEL RIETMULDER
