Sexyy Red is the hood’s hottest prison warden in “Free My N***a”
With this summer’s Hood Hottest Princess mixtape, Sexyy Red established herself as the most exciting rising artist in music today. Never one to stop working, the St. Louis native shares a brand new video for “Free My N****a,” her new single. “Free My N***a” is a brash and infectious banger, as Sexyy makes an impassioned plea to law enforcement to let her baby daddy come home. In the video, directed by Jerry Morka and Laka of No More Heroes, Sexyy takes matters into her own hands, turning the tables on the police and breaking into the local prison, nearly starting a riot as she extracts her boo from the slammer.

A cut from the upcoming Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe), “Free My N***a” adds an exclamation mark to Sexyy’s breakout 2023, marked by sold out dates, Hot 100-charting hits, and superstar co-signs. Sexyy’s breakout hit, the Tay Keith-produced “Pound Town,” spent multiple weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, reached the Top 10 on Urban Radio, and its Nicki Minaj-featuring remix “Pound Town 2,” earned a GOLD certification from the RIAA. Sexyy’s follow-up hit, “SkeeYee,” has risen even further, generating over 50 million streams across platforms, and reaching a peak of #66 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sexyy reached her highest chart peak yet with her appearance on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy,” also featuring SZA, a smooth Miami bass-influenced heatrock that currently sits at #14on the Hot 100.
A relentless barrage of twerkable anthems, Hood’s Hottest Princess builds upon Sexyy’s brash and unapologetic persona. Songs like “Hellcats SRTs“ and “Female Gucci Mane“ exude an irrepressible bad b*tch energy, combining Sexyy’s crisp wordplay with an addictive drawling delivery that has become her signature. The mixtape earned a sterling 8.0 review from Pitchfork, who wrote that the mixtape “sets the tone for what she hopes is the nastiest, sweatiest, and freakiest summer since the smartphone came along” and “…30 minutes of straight-up standing-on-the-table raps. There are a handful of songs on here that are bound to be summertime anthems.” Home to other hits like “Looking For The H*es (Ain’t My Fault),” and “Hellcats SRTs,” blessed with a remix featuring Lil Durk, Hood Hottest Princess is climbing the Billboard 200, where it reached a new peak of #75 this week, and Apple Music’s charts, where it is currently sitting at #7 on the Hip-Hop albums chart and #12 overall. Hood Hottest Princess is available everywhere via Open Shift/gamma.
Sexyy’s viral rise quickly fomented success on the touring front. After a viral performance at Rolling Loud Miami, Sexyy Red earned an invitation to open on tour for her biggest fan, Drake, during his “It’s All A Blur Tour” with 21 Savage. Sexyy’s first headlining tour, the “Hood Hottest Princess Tour,” sold out many dates within minutes of its initial onsale, including a 3,000-cap show in NYC and a 4,850-cap show in Chicago. The tour criss-crossed the U.S. for dozens of dates–including 24 sold out dates–including a massive sold out hometown show at the 8,000-capacity Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis. In all, Sexyy’s first-ever headlining show sold an estimated 70k tickets, making her one of the hottest draws in the genre in 2023.
After changing the game in 2023, Big Sexyy looks to carry that momentum into the new year.
