6 / 10 You might recognise Kid Sister from The Count & Sinden’s ‘Beeper’. Oh, and on ‘Pro Nails’, the last track Kanye did before he discovered the wonders of Auto-Tune. This Chi-town lady is fast approaching 30, and doing anything but acting her age. If you’re looking for hard-hitting, fast-spitting, rap-as-a-discourse, then this probably isn’t the right place. Mainly focused on dancing, cocktails and nail art, it’s an energy-drink fuelled, Cobra Snake-shot party record. Opener and lead single ‘Right Hand Hi’ proclaims her mantra – “Hi I’m Kid Sister/And I’m stacking money/Drinking all night/Got you feeling right”. It’s not Talib Kweli. But that doesn’t mean it’s not fun. Kid Sister’s not all grown up just yet, but she’s on her way there.
