5 Reasons Why We Love Kid Sister

We don't try to hide very hard the fact that Chicago club-rapper Kid Sister is one of our celebrity crushes. It's hard to articulate just why, but there's just something about her bubbly charm, bouncy flow, and...well, she's just mad cute. We try not to gush, honest, but...listen, here is a five-step plan for you to fall in love with her too.
  1. Her videos are fantastic. Pro Nails f. Kanye West has been taking over whatever channels music videos are played on and her new video, Beeper, a Count & Sinden record she did a feature on is a high-energy throwback that makes us bounce up-and-down in a way which is unbecoming for someone who is typing at a computer.
  2. We want to be friends with her friends. Here contacts list reads like our iTunes recently played: her boyfriend is A-trak, a world-champion DJ, Justo nominee, and co-owner of Fool's Gold Records. Her brother, DJ, and hypeman is J2K of Flosstradamus. Kanye West asked to be on her song!
  3. We are counting the days to her new record. She just announced a deal with Downtown Records for her upcoming album, Koko B. Ware. It dropping this summer and is going to feature producers like XXXChange, Trackademics, and some Dipset cats. We can hardly contain ourselves!
  4. Her name reminds of us other things that we like. We had a My Buddy doll when we were little, the companion to Hasbro's Kid Sister. Also, the name Kid Sister sort of sounds like one of our favorite indie-ish rap groups, Little Brother.
  5. We totes relate to her! She posts MySpace blogs about how broke she is/was. She just got cable!
We could keep going, but are trying to avoid sounding all dream phone about her. We'll leave it at this: Kid Sis is super cute and you need to friend her and add her to your playlist sooner rather than later. Here is a track to get you started:
