The single presents a self-aware young woman who demands respect through her raps and rejects the notion that every female rapper must walk the same ramp.
“I have a message, I don’t just want to talk about tits-and-ass. There is a bigger picture. I don’t want to be looked at as a femcee but as an emcee. I can rap and you shouldn’t put me in a different box.”
Patty Monroe was born and raised in Cape Town’s Southfield suburbs. She matriculated in 2013 and now, at just 19-years-old, her street smarts and songwriting skills have seen her acquire a record deal with Afterlife Talent. Currently based in Joburg and also managed by Afterlife Talent, the rapper is working closely with the company to realise the dreams she had when she started rapping.
When Patty Monroe was 15-years-old, she entered The Night Of The Beat Bangaz, a hip hop platform run by the legendary DJ Ready D, DJ Azhul and DJ E-20. She was too young to be eligible to perform but that event inspired this self-described “old soul” to take her fierce flows to higher heights.
To date, Patty Monroe has collaborated with rappers, Miss Cellanious (2010), Malik Gita (2011), Youngsta (2013, 2014) and has been included on a monster collaboration for E-Jay’s 2014 song, ‘Ho$h 2.0’ with Kita Keetz and Ill Skills.
The rapper who is inspired by the likes of MC Lyte and Missy Elliot has roped in producers like Ganja Beats, pH and Blayze to work on a forthcoming, as-yet-untitled project to be released by Afterlife Talent. High Fashion will appear on this project.
While the song initially oozed a sexier vibe, Patty Monroe chose to turn away from trends. Now High Fashion is “more playful and really matches my personality.”
This blonde bombshell wants to model her music after something that isn’t often celebrated: being true to oneself. The colourful entertainer appeared on SA’s Got Talent in 2013 and during the 2012 MTV Base VJ Search, Patty Monroe made it into the Top 25 of the Cape Town auditions phase.
Today, she has come to claim her space in the music industry. “I’m going to be here for a while so you had better listen.” High Fashion is a good place to start. Booking email bookings@afterlifetalent.com

Whoop whoop whoop

I wont stop spitting until I settled the score (what)
I know for sure that you dicks will fail like I predict my ep will sell
Boy its hell (jas)
Bitch you so basic you so damn crummy you blown up dummy I can taste it
I’ll take evrything you stood for and i’ll erase it (eina)
You old news now and I think its about time for that facelift
And dunno why they still fucking witcha

You don’t have a clue what im about to do
Switch the game up Dale Steyn up
No short cuts (whaat) plus the attitude of just don’t give a fuck
I got the flow so sick so sick like the flu
Make you wanna stick around like crazey glue
I got that brand new flavour in your ear
Lemme break it down for ya I be da bamboo voodoo yummy noodle so they stare
Some see me as a bomb threat see me i don’t break no sweat(dalla)
Imma make ‘em wys imma have ‘em play my music in outta space
Lemme bring it back for ya have ‘em Buddhists monks bump my track for ‘ya
Then take it back to the Himalayas

Lets talk about
Hows about we talk about this
Lets talk about
Hows about we talk about that

Lets talk about
Hows about we talk about this

Since I was a kid
I thought love made the world go round (jy laatie)

Sad truth yeah sad reality but its my job to speak up and I do it frankly (net soe)
They looking at me like how could this be (mymaagtag)
This ain't no come back it’s the come up
Sorry I don’t speak no frisby
Got no time for the small talk
I don’t talk small best believe you can miss me (eina)

Wont go near a hater I cant stand the smell of defeat
You better grieve for this beat before I murder it don’t know my name by now

Their useless words come at me and they never land
They be talking that foolish (is ja)

Hows about we talk about that

Ding dong i just killed a bitch
Long schlong was it wrong of me to write my wrongs
It’s the age of Aquarius
Time to put down your guns blades and fists
Time to get rich
Time to find a new bitch
Time to say deuces to the foolish come again who you say you with

Lets talk about
Hows about we talk about this
Lets talk about
Hows about we talk about that

Lets talk about
Hows about we talk about this
Lets talk about
Hows about we talk about that
