Kristine Flaherty grew up outside of Chicago, devouring her father's classic rock records and staying up late dancing to Parliament-Funkadelic in the living room. It was this same musical open-mindedness that would later spark her artistic development. She found her musical voice in college, fusing the eclectic power of the Bay Area hip hop scene with her own unique presence, inspired by strong, independent female artists ranging from Missy Elliott and Lauryn Hill to Fiona Apple and Liz Phair.
On stage, K.Flay is a one-woman whirlwind: whether she’s creating beats, singing, rapping or playing guitar, her wit and acerbic charm shine through. Her talents have led her to share the stage with artists including Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, and 3OH!3, where she quickly won over audiences who hadn’t seen anything quite like her before. Further setting her apart from the pack, she serves as her own producer in the studio, methodically infusing her hip hop swagger with a dose of sonic exploration.
With one mixtape (the genre-hopping MASHed Potatoes) already available online, K.Flay is spending the rest of 2010 recording in San Francisco and touring with Passion Pit in October and 3oh!3 in November.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Extended clip longer than a limo
Chopper shells hitting like kimbo
Smoking on strong this some indoor

Whole lotta cash wells fargo

The opening track of K.Flay's album "Every Where Is Some Where," "Intro," is a gritty rap song that touches on themes such as money, loyalty, and living life on one's own terms. The song's opening lines, "No Co Sign This The Intro, Extended clip longer than a limo, Chopper shells hitting like kimbo, Smoking on strong this some indoor," set the tone for the song's aggressive and fearless approach. He asserts his independence from the music industry by stating that he doesn't need anyone to support him. He's also entrenched in a world that is both dangerous and unpredictable, as evidenced by the use of "extended clip" and "chopper shells."
The next few lines demonstrate K.Flay's cool confidence and his willingness to take risks. "Bitch, I got the gas like Citgo, Whole lotta cash Wells Fargo, It's Landover Road not Largo, Plug talk you speaking to Pablo," he raps. K.Flay is clearly living life on his own terms, and he's earning enough money to fund his ambitions. The reference to "Wells Fargo" demonstrates that he's working with an institution that can move large amounts of cash, while the reference to "Pablo" suggests that he's plugged into a network that can get him what he needs to survive. The song is a celebration of K.Flay's success and his independent spirit, all set to a hard-hitting beat that captures the struggle and hustle of life.
