ThuggMiss, a rising hip hop artist in the international independent scene, has

released her latest studio endeavor, ‘What you doing tonight?.’ The new single
dropped on July. 23 and is now available on all digital music platforms, includ-
ing iTunes, Google Play, and streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. Fol-

lowed with her latest EP "Self Made" working with national recording artist
like Lil' Flip, C-Bo, Kstylis, Shorty Mack, Koopsta Knicca (R.I.P) member

of 36 Mafia,and Marvaless. ThuggMiss has also been produced by Grammy
award/multi-platinum producer Jimi Kendrix & Grammy nominated engi-
neer/producer/songwriter Beau Vallis.

Born in Oklahoma City but raised in Kansas City, Mo ThuggMiss’ upbring-

ing was anything but a fairytale. From being in the streets to being locked up
physically and mentally, ThuggMiss had to overcome immense obstacles to be
where she is today. Her music is an outlet for her to share her knowledge about

what is really going on and how to servive in the streets.

Those reflections are honest and authentic, and thus, ThuggMiss has turned
down every A&R agent and deal that would have required her to change her
image. In 1999, ThuggMiss released her debut record "That Thugg Misstress"

as a new artist in the independent industry. ThuggMiss ultimately lost her
rights and royalties to a producer. She took to the streets, the hustle, to survive.

This caught up with her, and she spent five years in a correctional facility.

That time was, however, well spent. ThuggMiss took that opportunity to turn

her life around. “I believe that when God knows your heart is pure, or that
you’re lost in a world you were never prepared for, not having anybody to look

up to… He will slow your life down and make a brighter future,” ThuggMiss
says.
