Raven Felix
Los Angeles
Raven Felix didn't start off listening to rap. In fact, the artist of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent was more of a metal head, thanks to her mother. It wasn't until her two-year stint in high school that she discovered Nicki Minaj, Eve, and got into hip-hop. "I just kind of fell in love with how powerful female rappers were," she says. A Snoop Dogg endorsement and a mixtape later, Felix, now 21, is a rapper herself, planning to drop her next project, Valifornication, this fall. In the meantime, the Taylor Gang affiliate chills in her hometown in the Valley.
