Saweetie boasts high-charting hits, high-profile collaborations and a high-energy presence that dominates music, fashion, and culture. Beyond the various accomplishments and Icy Girl persona, however, Saweetie is still navigating the pressures, doubts and personal growth that come with life in the spotlight.
Her latest EP, HELLA PRESSURE, finds the California rapper leaning fully into her bold, unapologetic energy. The five-track project features production from LunchMoney Lewis, P2J, and Grammy winner J. White, and is led by “Boffum” and highlighted by the vibrant TWICE collaboration “Superstars.” Bright, colorful, and bouncy, “Superstars” showcases Saweetie’s knack for blending genres while expanding her reach, introducing TWICE to the American hip-hop scene and connecting Saweetie with a global K-pop fanbase. Across the EP, she experiments with new sounds, flexes her creative versatility and offers fans a snapshot of her artistic evolution.
From reflecting on the changing persona —from the breakout “ICY GIRL” to the diamond-hard resilience of today — to exploring how she channels pressure into purpose, Saweetie shares the story behind HELLA PRESSURE, her creative process, and what it means to make music that connects with her fans on a deeper level.
