Rated R is on the scene!!!!
#MYCreatives what it dew, I’m back at it again with another #ReemoApproved Artists Spotlight, and of course had to reach out to Jersey’s own rising duo of Kiara and Jade which make; RATED R. Now if you follow “The Social Dw33b of Hip Hop” as of late since 2022 been covering artists from the Garden State, and shockingly been put under the “Burner” after the light was sparked by Fetty Wap, and many legends prior.
Can the light and time within the industry shine bright for Rated R to take?
I chopped it up with them to see do they have what it takes to make an impact in the culture!!!!
Being a woman duo, how can you separate from the possible stigma being placed as a “City Girls” type of group?
Rated R: I mean, the only thing they can compare when it comes to the City Girls is kind of the look. Other than that, we both do our own things and don’t step on each other’s toes. I bring the sweet she brings the heat. Right now I can’t think of any successful duos out who do opposite things and mix as well as we do.
Now, New Jersey has a heavy influence of talent involved in the music and entertainment industry. Do you feel the pressure of carrying on the legacy of your state, or its truly focusing on what Rated R has to offer?
Rated R: If you want to make a diamond, you can’t do it without pressure. We’ve been saying for the longest that Jersey has a lot to offer. We don’t feel burdened by it we embrace it as we embody Jersey pride. We’re here to show the world what Rated R is all about.
We from Big Jersey, The Grind Hard state.
Women in the culture are heavily taken over and in a large number, what does that do for the group, as well as what would you want to let future young women coming into the game to understand?
Rated R: Our motto is EMPOWERMENT.
We want to inspire young women to embrace their authenticity in the way they see it. You just gotta worry about what it looks like to you. You can be who you are and be a fly boss. It’s crucial for the industry to shine a light on women because we have powerful stories to tell. IT’S WOMEN right now leading the conversation from music to presidential seats.
We’re rarely in the conversations let’s continue to keep us apart of it.
On your music journey, how important is having a team to support you?
Rated R: Having a team on your journey in this music industry can either make you or break you, but having the support of a great team can only make you better. A lot of people be trying to take advantage, and ownership of things that are not theirs. Gratefully our team is genuine and supportive of what we want to do. I think it’s necessary, especially for artist who are serious about the careers.
We’re in the 3rd Quarter of 2024, how will you close out 2024, and what’s in store for us in 2025 from Rated R?
Rated R: We will definitely be outside for the rest of 2024, continuing to pop out. In 2025 expect music, exciting events, and plenty of engagement from us!
We are excited for what we have planned for 2025.
How important is music production for you when making the music, and how selective are you when choosing the right producer to work with?
Rated R: Music production is crucial in creating our music.
If the sound and mix aren’t right, it just doesn’t feel right. We can’t move on to visuals or performances without truly feeling the mix. I don’t know how many times we listened to “Bad Guy” just to make sure it was exactly what we wanted to deliver to our fans. It honestly starts when selecting a producer, it’s all about the sound and vibe they bring to the table.
Who influenced you the most when starting your music career?
Kiara: Ella Mai has been a huge influence for me.
I admired how she stayed true to herself throughout her career, focusing on the authenticity of her words and music. That’s the path I aspire to follow.
Jada: When I started making my own music, Nicki Minaj was a huge influence.
I was a super fan and loved the feminine energy she brought to the industry.
What’s the one thing you want to let your growing fan base know?
Kiara: Remember that nothing in life comes easy. If you want something, you have to put in the hard work and hustle for it because no one else will do it for you.
Jada: No dream is too big. If you believe it, you can certainly achieve it!
All in all, I must say the duo is poise to make sure JERSEY is definitely on the map, as well as the industry will not forget their name….. “RATED R!!!!”
On that note #MyCreatives, ON TO THE NEXT!!!!
