DOMINIQUE YOUNG UNIQUE
“STUPID PRETTY”
MIXTAPE VOLUME 3
Tampa’s finest Dominique Young Unique is back with her third mixtape “Stupid Pretty”. Available on digital download release from September 25th, “Stupid Pretty” is a highly anticipated super charged collection featuring eight tracks that will make you want to keep it on repeat. Songs including “Hype Girl”, “Life Of A Party”, “Gangster Whips” and “Stupid Pretty” are deliciously hooktastic.
“Stupid Pretty” follows Dominique’s previous mixtapes “Domination” and “Glamorous Touch“ which have been downloaded over 90,000 times and gained over 300,000 Youtube views. Produced by her long time collaborator David Alexander, and recorded in Tampa and London, “Stupid Pretty” is a transatlantic mashup of Dominique’s now signature spitfire, youthful raw songwriting and delivery and Alexander’s twisted dirty neo electro beats.
This latest mixtape continues to take fans on the DYU journey. Dominique says “I’m 19 now, and the “Stupid Pretty” mixtape shows I’ve grown as a person and an artist. It’s where I am at now. My sound has developed. I’m stronger.”
Within a year of releasing her first mixtape DYU has gone from rapping in the basketball courts her Robes Park projects to performing live in front of thousands alongside the likes of N.E.R.D, Big Boi, Die Antwoord and Gucci Mane.
Winning over huge audiences and new fans wherever she goes, Dominique debuted some of the “Stupid Pretty” tracks when she hit the road hard during the summer. NME named her one of the ten new must see bands at Glastonbury 2011 saying ‘Tampa rapper and mixtape-queen Dominique could give Beyonce’ a run for her money in terms of feistiness, and her MIA-influenced garb is not to be missed.’
Dominique Young Unique’s swagger is natural, effortless and full of hunger and bite. She’s snapping at the heels of her peers to get ahead and is on a quest to rule the airwaves. She’s the new young female rapper everyone is talking about. “I want my music to stand out and stand the test of time. So I’m now and I’m the future.“ She is indeed.
I am undone,
unwound and unspoken of.
A furtive thread hanging loose
in the wind.
Grasped by a silver talon
and unraveled by a broken nail,
I am unbound;
I am freed of human restraint.
A meager fiber sneaked from
the base of existence,
a catastrophic collapse of all that
is and that…
