Tina’s “Roll Up”: Atlanta’s Rising Underground Rap Star Shines

Tina / Roll Up

Introducing Tina, an Underground Atlanta Rapper Who's Blazing The Scene Right Now With Back-To-Back Bangers

Tina’s latest single, ‘Roll Up,’ crafted by producers Drewmfs and Zaywill, blends melodic trap with lush synths and resonant bells, delivering an addictive, atmospheric Atlanta sound. Being intrigued by the recent motion, I reached out to Tina for a couple questions regarding the process and what's to come.

Q. What are your plans moving forward as far as your music? You know you're building momentum right?

A. Right now the plan is to continue to make some hot shit and fill up my vault. Keeping that momentum going by continuing dropping. Shooting some crazy visuals, which are on the way and looking to shoot for the new drop “Roll Up” and really just go from there.

Q. What's your recording process like?

A. Great question, My recording process changes every time I record. I started off writing , it use to take me days to make one song lol, constantly changing lyrics or repeating takes over and over, being extremely picky. When I first started I would sit in parking lots, with BandLab loaded and some string head phones at night by myself and just lock in. The vibe and environment is really important to me when I record so being alone, in a parking lot at night when the world still moving around is a peaceful feeling, which helped my thinking a lot. But as I did it more and more, I got better and I got quicker. Also being surrounded and meeting people that have been this for a long time that, also helped my process improve drastically. Now I can knock out a song in 30-45 mins, going from writing to punching in, on an actual mic, in an actual studio. Now, I try not to think so much and literally just let the beat tell me what to say and that’s how the magic is made!

Q. The more and more you do it, recording becomes natural. I think every artist should learn the art of freestyling as it helps get that foundation and overall flow on a track. As you mention, I'm sure being in a creative city helps out a lot as far as meeting people that are into the same thing. How do you carve out your space as a female rapper in Atlanta’s competitive scene? Any challenges or advantages you’ve faced?

A. Everyone goes through challenges in whatever they’re trying to accomplish and I’m not exempt from that. But I carve out my space by just being me and being as authentic as can be. No one can be better at being you than you. That’s what I focus on everyday and by doing that I believe I’ll get where I’m trying to go.
