Anycia previews upcoming single with Quavo
Atlanta continues to be the epicenter of innovative hip-hop, and in 2025, no name is ringing louder than Anycia. Bursting out of Atlanta’s underground, Anycia has become one of the most talked-about rising rappers in the country. With her sharp delivery, effortless cool, and unapologetically bold bars, she’s proving herself as the next woman to dominate the genre.
March brought us “Never Need”, a fiery collaboration with fellow powerhouses GloRilla and Karrahbooo. That video alone has racked up over 3.4 million YouTube views, affirming what fans already knew—Anycia has star power. Since then, she hasn’t slowed down. In May, she dropped “No Scrub”, another solo single that showcases her confident tone, commanding flow, and elevated style.
But what really has fans buzzing is what’s next: a Quavo collaboration and a highly anticipated mixtape, “Grady Baby,” hosted by DJ Drama.
From Local Buzz to National Breakthrough
Anycia, born Anycia Symone Edwards, is a product of Atlanta through and through. She started her rap journey just a few years ago, but her name began circulating heavily in 2023 when her track “So What” (sampling Field Mob) went viral. The snippet exploded on social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, catching the attention of none other than Drake and Kevin Durant.
While that moment introduced her to the mainstream, Anycia never treated it like a fluke. She capitalized on the exposure by locking in on her sound—laid-back, steely, and laced with Atlanta’s signature confidence. Her early singles like “Kimora Lee” and “Back Outside” showed her range and ambition.
What made her stand out was the ease with which she balanced toughness with grace. There’s a consistent thread of female empowerment in her lyrics. Whether she’s rapping about independence, loyalty, or dismissing distractions, there’s always a message: she doesn’t need validation. She sets her own standards.
“Never Need”: A Moment for the Girls
One of Anycia’s biggest records to date, “Never Need”, is a standout collaboration not just because of its catchy hook, but because it brought together three powerful voices in rap.
Alongside GloRilla and Karrahbooo, Anycia creates a track that feels fresh, fearless, and necessary. Produced by jetsonmade and EJ Stellar, the song flips Khia’s 2001 anthem “Don’t Trust No N****” and reimagines it for a new generation.
Each artist brings her unique voice, but it’s Anycia’s opening that sets the tone. Her confident delivery makes it clear—she’s not chasing trends or approval. The accompanying music video shows the trio decked out in slick visuals, turning up in high fashion and sending a message that women in rap are running the show in 2025.
“No Scrub”: Solo Strength and Vision
Just a few weeks after “Never Need,” Anycia followed up with “No Scrub,” further showcasing her ability to hold her own without features. The song continues her themes of self-sufficiency and cutting dead weight.
“No Scrub” isn’t just a flex—it’s a declaration. The lyrics focus on blocking distractions and demanding value. This speaks directly to her growing fan base of women who see her not just as a rapper, but as a figure of empowerment. In a landscape that often pressures women to conform or soften, Anycia is building a brand off resilience and realness.
A Quavo Collab and “Grady Baby” on the Horizon
If you thought March and May were busy months for Anycia, buckle up—she’s just getting started.
On a recent Friday night, she previewed an unreleased collaboration with Quavo, another Atlanta rap heavyweight. The snippet revealed both artists going back-to-back with hard-hitting verses, blending their signature styles effortlessly. The chemistry is real—and fans are already hoping this track is included on her upcoming “Grady Baby” mixtape.
While a release date for Grady Baby hasn’t been confirmed, what we do know is it’s being executive produced by DJ Drama, the man behind countless mixtape classics. From Lil Wayne’s Dedication series to Tyler, The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost, Drama’s involvement is always a sign that a project has serious potential.
With that co-sign, Anycia’s momentum could shift from rising star to household name territory.
Why Atlanta Keeps Producing Rap Royalty
Atlanta’s influence in the rap game is undisputed. From OutKast to Gucci Mane to Lil Baby, the city continues to breed innovation and originality. What’s exciting about Anycia is that she taps into Atlanta’s legacy without replicating it.
Her music isn’t weighed down by the past; it’s lifted by it. She channels trap sensibilities but pairs them with introspective writing. And visually, she presents herself with a level of intentionality that shows she’s thinking about the full package: sound, aesthetic, and story.
Princess Pop That: The Brand Behind the Bars
Anycia isn’t just building a rap career—she’s building a brand. She frequently refers to herself as “Princess Pop That,” which doubles as her artistic persona and brand identity. It’s catchy, confident, and distinctly her.
There’s a high likelihood that Princess Pop That will evolve into a larger brand umbrella—clothing, beauty, maybe even a label one day. For now, it’s a reminder that she’s controlling her narrative, not letting the industry define her.
More Than a Moment
Here’s what makes Anycia’s rise unique—she’s not trying to ride a wave. She’s building her own. Whether it’s tapping into nostalgic sounds like Field Mob, flipping early 2000s R&B in “No Scrub,” or collaborating with rap royalty, she’s positioning herself as timeless, not trendy.
As fans seek music that resonates and feels real, Anycia offers an answer. Her music tells stories that stick. Her visuals make statements. And her brand promotes self-respect, independence, and ambition.
Anycia Is a Name You’ll Keep Hearing
In just a few short years, Anycia has transitioned from a promising Atlanta rapper to a national name in the making. With viral moments, standout singles, and high-profile collaborations, she’s becoming one of the most important voices in rap—male or female.
With Grady Baby looming, and a style that’s as self-assured as her bars, Anycia isn’t just next up—she’s already here.
