Kid Sister started to rap in October 2005, becoming a MC at monthly dance parties hosted by DJ duo Flosstradamus who were featured in MTV's My Block that same year. She made URB's "The Next 1000" cover in April 2007, and was signed to Kanye West's DJ A-Trak's label, Fool's Gold, who released her first single "Pro Nails", which features Kanye West. Kid Sister later signed with Downtown Records, who re-released "Pro Nails" to critical acclaim.
Kid Sister also appears on Tittsworth's "WTF", from his debut album 12 Steps, with Pase Rock. She had also finished a mixtape with A-Trak.
As of Fall 2009, Kid Sister has finished recording her debut studio album . The title has been changed from Dream Date to "Ultraviolet". The United States album release date is November 17, 2009. The tracks have been produced by dubstep artist Rusko, The Count and Sinden, XXXChange, and Disturbia producer, Brian Kennedy and the album includes a feature with British musician Estelle. The two have collabrated on a remake of Queen Latifah's acclaimed track, "Step" (formerly "Ladies First") off her debut album. It is titled "First Ladies".
And also her single "Control" is featured in the new video game "DJ Hero" with Rihanna's Disturbia. The first single off is titled "Right Hand Hi", which is produced by Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso of house DJ group, Swedish House Mafia.
"I think a lot of people are going to be surprised with the fact that thereβs a bunch of raw hip-hop records on there," according to A-Trak. "It's not all up tempo clubby stuff. I think a lot of people are going to be impressed with her growth also because when she made a lot of the records that people have heard by now, she was just starting to rap."
Kid Sister's ethnic background includes African American, Native American, and Caucasian. In numerous interviews and magazine articles, she has revealed that she has struggled financially for years before becoming Kanye West's protege. Recently she has admitted to being 215 pounds at one point in her life. She continues in this interview that she has been "thick" her whole life but explains that this has had no bearing on her self-esteem because at her core she is not a passive person.
Kid Sister has a degree in film from Columbia College Chicago and worked on two independent feature films during her studies: 9/11 drama The Guys (2002) starring Sigourney Weaver and Anthony LaPaglia; and Best Thief In the World (2003) starring Mary Louise Parker and Audra McDonald. Kid Sister once worked for retail chain Bath & Body Works, which she sometimes mentions in interviews and in her creative work.

Kid Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got, got her toes do up with her fingernails matchin'
Toes, toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Shake it up, up rock ya body
Make it knock, knock when you partyin'
Take a break, break in the audience
I'm lookin' sharp, you can't compete with the champ
Steady flickin', I'm holdin' done that layaway rack
Aye, rhinestones all in they face, gold charms and paper chase
Talk smack from around the way
Gotta put these chickenheads in they place
I ain't rockin' no stupid, babes, ain't trippin', I juke all day
I ain't slippin' 'cause either way
When I hit the block all the people say
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got, got her toes do up with her fingernails matchin'
Toes, toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Aye yo this mothafucka jammin', I'm on it, it's a anthem
Who is that in the Phantom? Please no cameras
They gone have me on concrete, loot in my pajamas
To hide the goods, I would need pants big as Hammer's
I be tippin' them dancers, they be sayin' I'm handsome
I was pretty before the dough but now I'm just the man
You remind me of my old chick on that '84 shit
Oh shit, did you see the way she got her toes did?
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got, got her toes do up with her fingernails matchin'
Toes, toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got, got her toes do up with her fingernails matchin'
Toes, toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Girls be so thirsty, thirsty, fast forward to the end of my song
And say third verse me, verse me whenever I hit the block I see
Tricks try to rehearse me, hearse me
From manicure sets to silky weaves
They be so grimy, nasty, bogus, turkey, germy, dirty
Uh oh, Shol' did, you ain't slick
(Naw)
Let the pioneer blast my shit, wait a minute, hold up
Bubble letters on my butt say 'Fresh'
Oops, I'ma go, nails like whoa, acrylic base top all gold
Clothes on my back to the paint on my toes
Stay fresh 'cause I'm accustomed to gold
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Got, got her toes do up with her fingernails matchin'
Toes, toes done up with her fingernails matchin'

Line by Line Meaning
Got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin'
Her toes and fingernails are painted in matching colors
Shake it up, up rock ya body
Dance energetically and move your body
Make it knock, knock when you partyin'
Make the music loud and hype when you party
Take a break, break in the audience
Stop dancing and take a rest while in the crowd
Do ya footwork break and stop again
Perform some footwork moves and then stop
I'm lookin' sharp, you can't compete with the champ
I look good and no one else can compare
Steady flickin', I'm holdin' done that layaway rack
I keep buying flashy jewelry and can afford it
Aye, rhinestones all in they face, gold charms and paper chase
I wear shiny jewelry and pursue money
Talk smack from around the way
Insult others from the same neighborhood
Gotta put these chickenheads in they place
Need to put these promiscuous girls in their place
I ain't rockin' no stupid, babes, ain't trippin', I juke all day
I don't want to be with foolish girls and just dance all day
I ain't slippin' 'cause either way
I'm not slipping up because of anything
When I hit the block all the people say
When I arrive at the block, people take notice of me
Aye yo this mothafucka jammin', I'm on it, it's a anthem
This song is a hit, and I love it
Who is that in the Phantom? Please no cameras
Don't take pictures of me in my luxurious car
They gone have me on concrete, loot in my pajamas
I'm afraid of being caught with stolen goods
To hide the goods, I would need pants big as Hammer's
I need really baggy pants to hide stolen items
I be tippin' them dancers, they be sayin' I'm handsome
I give money to the dancers and they find me attractive
I was pretty before the dough but now I'm just the man
I was attractive even before I got rich but now I'm even better
You remind me of my old chick on that '84 shit
You remind me of my ex-girlfriend from 1984
Oh shit, did you see the way she got her toes did?
Did you see her toes? They're painted really well
Girls be so thirsty, thirsty, fast forward to the end of my song
Girls are showing too much interest in me, let's skip to the end of the song
And say third verse me, verse me whenever I hit the block I see
Let's skip to the third verse and play it again when I arrive at the block
Tricks try to rehearse me, hearse me
Men try to trick me but they can't outsmart me
From manicure sets to silky weaves
From nail care products to expensive hair extensions
They be so grimy, nasty, bogus, turkey, germy, dirty
These girls are dirty and disgusting
Uh oh, Shol' did, you ain't slick
I see right through you, you're not clever
Let the pioneer blast my shit, wait a minute, hold up
Let the DJ play my song loud, but wait, let me stop and admire myself
Bubble letters on my butt say 'Fresh'
My butt has bubble letters that spell out 'Fresh'
Oops, I'ma go, nails like whoa, acrylic base top all gold
Sorry, gotta go. But look at my nails! They're amazing and shiny
Clothes on my back to the paint on my toes
From my clothes to my toe nail polish, I'm always looking good
Stay fresh 'cause I'm accustomed to gold
I always look fresh and glamorous because I'm used to having expensive things
