Alaya High a.k.a. That Girl Lay Lay
11-year-old rapper Alaya High a.k.a. That Girl Lay Lay made history this year by becoming the youngest female rapper to sign a record deal with Empire Records.
Her talent became highly noticeable in May when videos of her rapping became viral.
She also cashed in big time when her favourite jewellery brand, Alex and Ani, got wind of a very dope freestyle she did for the brand. Highly impressed, they went ahead to sign her on an ambassador.
