Siya Rapper: Bio, Sisterhood of Hip Hop

Siya is the lesbian rapper on Sisterhood of Hip Hop, T.I.'s new show that airs on Oxygen. Siya was born in California and raised in Brooklyn. Siya comes from Bed-Stuy, a "legendary hotbed" of influential hip hop music, according to Oxygen.

Siya had a rough upbringing. Her mother was a drug addict and her dad was serving time in jail. Siya also had a record herself. But then her grandmother let her move in with her so that Siya could be removed from the mean streets of Brooklyn.

The talented artist used music to escape her harsh reality and she moved to Atlanta to chase her dream. Building a name for herself, Siya earned the attention of major record labels and huge artists. Naturally, because of Siya's sexual orientation, she faced resistance as some industry execs feared that an openly gay rapper wouldn't work within the genre.

Complex magazine said that she's a rapper to watch out for in 2012. Siya refused to hide her sexuality and compromise staying true to herself. She has a unique voice and style and is expected to be a massive success. It is awesome that T.I. believes in these girls. It's hard enough to make it in the music industry in any genre, but when it comes to successful female rappers in the game, that's as comparable as successful black men and women in country music.

Siya has far more followers on Instagram than she does on Twitter so I'm guessing that she had an IG before she began Tweeting and Retweeting. She has several tattoos and I don't know if she's in a relationship with someone right now but you know that all the lesbians are going to be sending her love online. She's cute. The Sisterhood of Hip Hop premieres on Oxygen on August 12th. It's sure to be a hit!
