RECOMMENDED DOWNLOAD: Kellee Maize favorite songs
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. Little did I know that with four songs, this new age rapping cutie would prove to be a front-runner in Hip-Hop’s Freshman class, zooming passed fellow rapping ladies and .

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.

    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!

  7. Rah jo 28. Mar, 2010 #

    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 : )

    • Rah jo 28. Mar, 2010 #

      What’s a dub step

  9. kevin samuel haber 28. Mar, 2010 #

    I usually don’t listen to rap, but take her stunning beauty aside and Kellee is still really interesting young and talented woman.

  10. Kymbo 28. Mar, 2010 #

  11. sweet1lani 28. Mar, 2010 #

  15. Rachie 28. Mar, 2010 #

    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!!!

  16. Rick 28. Mar, 2010 #

    I really like Kellee and her passion towards human bonding in the mind of consciousness.

  17. okayyea 28. Mar, 2010 #

    Her music is so catchy. ‘Aligned Archetype’ is very impressive, definitely worth checking out.

  18. Jess 28. Mar, 2010 #

    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!

    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.

    • pgh412grl 29. Mar, 2010 #

      why do you keep repeating yourself…we saw your hater comment the first time…

      • mari 29. Mar, 2010 #

        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.

  28. Caitlin 29. Mar, 2010 #

    Word to the Mothership, let’s dance!

  29. pghhiphop 29. Mar, 2010 #

    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.

  30. Ariana Chris 29. Mar, 2010 #

    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)

    • AMANDA!! 29. Mar, 2010 #

      Third is my favorite song, too!
