Just like a perfect cocktail, “not too hard, not too soft, just perfect.” A befitting way one can describe the rapper we’ve come to know as Allie. Giving you raw and street savvy lyricism, accompanied with a raspy New Orleans accent, Allie has developed a sound that is uniquely her own. From her impeccable writing skills, to that commanding voice so unexpected from the pint size beauty, she lets it be known she is here to stay for a while. In a male dominated industry, Allie embraces her womanhood and owns her sexiness without exploitation. She carries such a natural demand of respect. She has is firmly establishing herself as a novel force to be reckoned with in hip hop and entertainment.
Before embarking on a solo career, Allie was fortunate to be a member of two groups. Blak Iyce, a group molded under the direction of Dj Wild Wayne; and Gs Up, a group started by Atlanta rapper Lil Scrappy, both opportunities that would allow the road to greatness to begin. While recording in a Memphis studio, she had a chance encounter with producer Drumma Boy, the same producer who would go on to make hits for artists such as Kanye West, TI, and Young Jeezy. At the time, he was still up and coming. He dropped off some of his work and Allie listened to some of tracks. She became hooked to his signature synthesized laced sound. They kept in touch over the years. From the first studio session together, the pair had mad chemistry. Drumma Boy would go on to produce Allie’s breakout single “Yay” which created a heavy buzz online.
While making something of her budding rap career, she tapped into acting. Working with independent film company, Most Wanted Films, Allie landed roles in the movies “Da Block Party” and “Black Saturday” in 2003. In 2005, she personally funded and released “Pre Season,” a mix tape hosted by Dj Drama and the Aphilliates. On the heels of what was one of the nation’s most devastating natural disasters, Allie spoke candidly of the horrific aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and other topics relevant at the time.
“Music says what the heart can’t express. It’s therapeutic.”
In 2010, Allie dropped another mix tape, “Study Hall,” and landed a role in the movie “Keeper of the Flame.” She was also nominated for “Best Female Artist” in the 2010 NOLA Underground Hip Hop Awards. The year 2011 would shape up real nice for the lyrical southern belle. She released “12:47,” a mix tape hosted by DJ Smallz featuring some hip hop heavy hitters, including legendary 8 Ball. The same legend she would bring as a surprise performer with her at the 2011 NOLA Underground Hip Hop Awards. She was nominated again and won “Best Female Artist.” As a seasoned performing rap artist, no wonder she would land the perfect role in the feature film “Must Be the Music”, directed by famous actor Charles Duton , starring Black Thought, Jada Kiss, and former Atlanta Housewife star Lisa Wu Hartwell. This film will hit theaters in 2012. Allie has also been nominated for the “Slept On Artist of the Year” award at the 2012 SEA Awards.
Allie is passionate about what she does and who she is. A nice blend of free spirited hard work and dedication, packaged in a signature cut off undershirt and a mean pair of camouflage shorts. Allie is ready to take her rightful place in hip hop and entertainment as one of the greatest to ever do it
