I’m a White, Blonde Rapper. I rap and sing about yoga, meditation, astrology, tarot and spirituality.
Along with the photo above, this was how Kelle Maize introduced herself to me. Kellee, a Pittsburgh native, takes pride in being a wholly DIY sort of artist, relying on grassroots support to find her footing. It comes as no surprise then, that her music has a distinct East Coast sound, most notably a powerful leaning towards the Baltimore club scene that would make Xaphoon Jones blush.
Kellee passed on four tracks via email, but you can download her 21-track album, Aligned Archetype, for free at her website. Sample “Start None”, “Mothership”, “Big Plans” and “Yesterday” before you grab the album.

atrocious
it’s hot! is she signed anywhere?
Don’t judge a book by its cover, eh? I really dug “Mothership” and “Start None” – great find PMA.
Thanks for posting this. Her music is amazing!
I heard about kellee on frostwire
Start none. Lyrically impressive. The beat is out there!!
Mothership, very catchy and lyrically amazing.
Big plans – hot fluffy dance song
yesterday – totally 180 from the above 3 songs
all in all. She’s attractive. She got swagger. She has what it takes.
Wonderful find! Love the dub step in “Start None”… this is a really different and welcome addition to my collection! And what a cutie : )
What’s a dub step
I usually don’t listen to rap, but take her stunning beauty aside and Kellee is still really interesting young and talented woman.
Kellee’s blowin UP! Go girl.
i love how hard start none gets, it really shows her talent to spit rhymes…
I can dig it. Download. Listen. Share. Repeat. I say this to you now but after the first step the others just flow naturally…..
Kellee these songs are so HOT! I wish you the best girl!
Okay. First Off–Love Kellee Maize!
If you like these songs you REALLY need to buy both of her albums. Her songs really make you want to be more positive and change your energy!
<3 herr
Don’t need to buy ‘em… turns out she gives them away for free on her website! http://www.kelleemaize.com
Yes! Go Kellee! Her music is amazing. “Start None” and “Yesterday” are amazing, but if you like these be sure to find “Third Eye!” By far the best song off her latest release!!!
I really like Kellee and her passion towards human bonding in the mind of consciousness.
Her music is so catchy. ‘Aligned Archetype’ is very impressive, definitely worth checking out.
Kellie takes rap and does it the way she wants, her unique sound and motivational lyrics sets her apart from any other person in the rap industry. If you like her music, make sure you spread the word!
brilliant
I recommend downloading this pretty lady. Puts gaga to shame. Artsy-chic but with bass lines that will rock your world!

start none is hard, tight and quick…i want more! i will ride your spaceship with you!
wack shit is wack
“BIG PLANS” sure sounds a lot like Sexy MF by Pase Rock and Amanda Blank.

wack shit is wack.
Big Plans sure reminds me a lot of Nate Day remix of Sexy MF by Pase Rock and Amanda Blank.

why do you keep repeating yourself…we saw your hater comment the first time…
As if a comment has never double posted by accident or a glitch caused it…that’s what happened
That’s all you got?
I am hating because I just do not like the girl’s music. And to echo the stock comment…If i dont like it I wont listen to it. So I’m choosing not to. After I gave her a try and actually listened to it.
I can agree to disagree.
Good luck trying to get this girl to happen.
Word to the Mothership, let’s dance!
redeveloping the music industry through genre and distribution, the girl is doing her own thing in all the right ways…finally something new, original, and dope sounding! i want to be apart of this revolution! if you’re hating, you just don’t get it.
I’m not sure why she sent you these four songs. I downloaded her album on frostwire last month. Her best songs are third eye, pulse, something sacred and city of champions (if u love pgh)
Third is my favorite song, too!
If anyone else wants to hear the rest of Kellee’s album, you can check it out (in its entirety) at kelleemaize.com
Kellee Maize defines what is keeping hip hop alive. With her socially conscious lyrics, I can’t get enough of her!
