Atypical Elegance

On my grind yesterday, I came across Atypical Elegance; a Lesbian Rap Duo, Two femmes at that. To be honest, at first I chuckled, saying to myself they better not sound like some of these other LGBT artists, Rapping or Singing about the same shit. And thank GOD they gave me some wonderful ear candy, pleased me from the beats they were rapping over to the content of the songs. Atypical Elegance consists of two young women hailing from a small city in Texas, just miles outside of Dallas called Waco; Ashli [Gumbo Barbie] and LaTaya [Flawlez Barbie] hit the scene with two hot ass singles

“Unconventional” & “Gucci Barbie”.

These two young ladies joined forces during their high school years and actually have been writing music and having dreams of becoming music artists since then but never pursued their dream due to having lack of faith from their surroundings, Atypical Elegance told me “We’re from a really small town, & dreams don’t usually come true”, I personally wish these girls would have had this drive that they have now and pursued these dreams back then, which such wonderful talent that they possess Lord knows where they would be right now in the Hollywood World.

Flawlez and Gumbo later joined forces with their Manager Kash whom is also a talented Woman from Texas; she refers to herself as the female Diddy, so we can tell from jump that she’s about her business and I respect that.Through all their hard work and studio time, dedicating a lot of their personal time to the music scene, Atypical Elegance came with their hit “Unconventional”; a very catchy club beat type song. Unconventional had me bouncing and trying to catch on to the words immediately, in this song they wanted to make a statement, saying that this group was nothing like the others; very different from the rest. I believe that was a positive move, like I stated most LGBT artist that I do hear, are portraying the same message, rapping or singing about the same thing, when I listen to music, I love to hear different styles, different content, different everything, it brings more passion into the music. My hat goes off to these Ladies, they set the tone, I can’t wait until summer of 2010 to get a copy of their mixtape, until then I hope to hear lots more from them.

In closing you all know that I love to get positive words from the artist, to spread along to the fans, and Gumbo & Flawlez said it best; “If you put your mind to whatever you want to do and you feel you can actually do it, then DO IT”—Flawlez Barbie “We decided that we were going to pursue our dream, so we can only tell ya’ll to pursue your dreams too”
