00:00I'm a 16-year-old rapper from the south suburbs of Chicago.
00:03I'm Mexican, you know, and I'm a Mexican, so she was going to name me Estrella, but
00:09she said nobody was going to know how to pronounce it.
00:12Nah, she just called me Estrella.
00:13So that's my nickname.
00:14It's crazy how I'm here today, you know?
00:17And I was just in my room, just rapping, posting it on Instagram, and now I'm here.
00:21I made the song, yeah, yeah, around my birthday.
00:30I found the beat on YouTube, and I'm like, alright, this hard.
00:33And then I dropped it on my birthday, and every year on my birthday, I drop something.
00:37It started going up the day I dropped it, and I'd say like a month later, it was just
00:41crazy.
00:42I knew the song was going to hit, but did I think it was going to get me to where I'm
00:46at now?
00:47No.
00:48I didn't think it was going to be like a Chicago song that everybody know.
00:51This song was almost worldwide, you feel me?
00:54So it was crazy, for real.
01:09When I get in that mood, I'm telling you, I come up with the coldest things.
01:13I think I was just freestyling though.
01:14I cut the beat on.
01:15I'm like, dang, that's hard.
01:16Let me play it back.
01:17Alright, let me start freestyling.
01:18I'm like, what's up?
01:19How you doing?
01:20I don't even know my name.
01:21Stop.
01:22Okay.
01:23But I don't know how I came up with that, for real.
01:24I was just...
01:25I don't know.
01:26I be in that mood.
01:27I ain't gonna lie.
01:36In 2022, I found out that I really rapped, and it wasn't for fun, when I dropped the
01:41song on my birthday, and it went up.
01:44And I had a birthday party two days later, and it was deep.
01:47You feel me?
01:48And I was performing, and when that song came on, that specific song came on, everybody
01:52was rapping that song.
02:05I started rapping when I was 12, and I wrote my first song when I was 12.
02:08I was just shouting out my brother, and I was talking about my mama in the song, and
02:13I was even talking about how I ain't got to customize my music to get some racks.
02:18I said all type of stuff in there.
02:19It don't sound too good, but if you listen, it don't sound like no 20 year old, bro.
02:23Did you feel me?
02:24I was very talented for writing that song at 20 years old, and rhyming good.
02:28Some people be having a whole bunch of jibber jabber, and you just be like, what is she
02:32saying?
02:33Nah.
02:34You gonna hear me when I talk.
02:41When I get some money, I wanna spend it.
02:42And I know I'm gonna make it back, so I don't really care about spending it, because I ain't
02:47paying no bills right now, so I'm gonna spend that money on some clothes, I'm gonna make
02:52it right back.
02:53And then with, I ain't cocky, but I still ain't popping out the thing, paying.
02:55I performed at a birthday party when my No Hooks song came out, and that was the one
03:00that came out on my birthday before.
03:02Somebody invited me to perform at a birthday party, and they said they was gonna pay me
03:05after.
03:06A little 200.
03:07They never paid me.
03:08After that, you gotta pay me a deposit now.
03:11You gotta pay me before I get up in there.
03:13I just been standing on that sentence.
03:15Don't tell me you're gonna pay me, then I ain't pay me.
03:18And I ain't playing.
03:19Big bro passed me the bank.
03:20I'm a girl, but I still rock your world.
03:22I grew up around the gang.
03:23Hold up.
03:24Put it to her brain.
03:25That's thank you.
03:26No, she get the prank.
03:27I said that because I grew up around my brother and his homies, so I feel like I'm not your
03:31average female.
03:32You feel me?
03:33This is the way I act, talk.
03:35I just raised like that, so I just act how I act.
03:41I ain't got no kids, but all my kids start playing with me.
03:46Yeah, had to show them how to run the game.
03:48You got coach trying to be a player.
03:49I ain't got no kids, but all my kids start playing with me.
03:51I never heard nobody say that.
03:54Originally, the stop playing with me part wasn't there when it came from my head.
03:57I just said, I ain't got no kids, but all my kids in my notes, and then I just added
04:01the rest.
04:02Black Chuck, like I'm Obama.
04:03Tell him vote SB for me.
04:05I ain't made no money, y'all money, but I still got on that year.
04:08I was working the job, so every paycheck, probably like two some, one some, three some.
04:13You feel me?
04:14So what?
04:15Too much?
04:16But I still have my little sales, you feel me?
04:17So I'm still making my money, but sometimes it'll be slow, you feel me?
04:21I ain't made no money, y'all money, but I still got on that year, because like I said,
04:25I be spending money because I know I'm going to make it back.
04:27So if something come up, I'm going to save my money for this, and I'm going to put it
04:33down.
04:34So I still got on that year.
04:35But I don't do that no more, because I'm always going to have money in my pocket now.
04:38My head going to stay done, but if I pop out, I'm going to have that year on, and I'm
04:48always going to have some crispy shoes on, like I ain't going to pop out with no dusty
04:51shoes.
04:52So I'm fresh from head to toe, and I'm known, so he think I'm a player, but in reality,
04:57I ain't no player.
04:59Nowadays, I come outside a lot, but back then, when I was writing that song, I was in a crib.
05:10I'm going to school, doing what I do, getting home, and I just hardly go outside.
05:15I'm like a villain in my lair, you feel me?
05:17But if I catch a broad day, I'm like Buffy, I'm a slayer.
05:21Now you know Buffy the slayer, the vampire, you feel me?
05:23So it's just metaphors, you feel me?
05:29So I can do whatever I want, because I'm popping right now, and I'm popping, period.
05:34I'm going to keep popping.
05:42I've been told before, I don't look how I rap.
05:45I just sound the same when I'm talking.
05:47I sound how I rap.
05:48People always tell me, you don't look like you rap.
05:50People used to say that.
05:51I ain't heard it in a while, but it do be like some little comments, you feel me now?
05:55People hearing that like, she look like this, she not, she not this and that.
05:59Man, you don't know me, you don't know me.
06:03So I don't look how I get, but I know what I know, so I ain't got to prove myself to
06:07nobody, because I know what I know.
06:11You know the song goes to head, so I had to find a remix to hop on there.
06:14I had to find somebody to hop on there, so I'm like, I'm going to just reach out the
06:17B's.
06:18My favorite line at ECA was like, star bands is like D. Rose, the youngest ever, MVP.
06:24I'm like, yeah.
06:26I like that part.
06:27He's nuts on that.
06:28I ain't going to lie.
