Rye Rye Shaking it to Ground at White Room Thanksgiving Eve

Last year, when we saw M.I.A. live in concert at Studio A, we met an adorable young girl who commanded us to shake it to the ground and then to bring it back up and twirl it all around. That girl was Baltimore wunderkind Rye Rye. Her story is pretty...

Last year, when we saw M.I.A. live in concert at Studio A, we met an adorable young girl who commanded us to shake it to the ground and then to bring it back up and twirl it all around. That girl was Baltimore wunderkind Rye Rye. Her story is pretty impressive, considering she came out of nowhere and all of a sudden she is signed to Interscope Records and has already worked with producers like The Count & Sinden, Blaqstarr, Dilpo, Switch and M.I.A.

If you missed her Miami debut last year, trust us when we say, do not miss Rye Rye's return to the Magic City Wednesday with B-more DJ Scottie B. Spiderpussy is responsible for bringing the Baltimore club hop princess to White Room in what promises to be a great reason to go hungover to Thanksgiving dinner.

After the jump, check out the video for Blaqstarr's "Shake It to the Ground" and The Count & Sinden's "Hardcore Girls," both which feature Rye Rye on vocals.
