Myaap doesn’t make songs as much as she does anthems; absurdist manifestos informed by the strong cultural community in Milwaukee, emphasizing collective joy over the individuality of hustle culture. Since breaking out onto the scene, Myaap has collaborated with Milwaukee leaders like Certified Trapper and AyooLii. But she isn’t just a regional legend— a newfound favorite among critics, she was featured in Alphonse Pierre’s ‘Best Records of 2023’, (among several other Pitchfork shoutouts), along with recently being championed by UPROXX.
