Anycia to release “Grady Baby” mixtape on July 18

Anycia announces upcoming “Grady Baby” mixtape

Atlanta’s next rising star is ready to make her mark.

Anycia, the fast-rising rapper from Atlanta known for her gritty flows and cool-headed delivery, has officially announced the release date for her highly anticipated Grady Baby mixtape. On Monday, July 8, she revealed that the project will drop on July 18, setting the stage for one of the most exciting Southern rap releases of the summer.

With a cinematic trailer that features cameos from Waka Flocka Flame, Karrahbooo, and others, the announcement sent a wave of excitement across social media.

Anycia’s buzz has been steadily building over the last year, but Grady Baby feels like her moment of truth—and her moment to take over.

What to Expect From Grady Baby

The project is named after Grady Memorial Hospital, a landmark in Atlanta and a cultural reference point for locals. Calling herself a “Grady Baby” is a way for Anycia to anchor herself in the authenticity and toughness of Atlanta life—and that theme will carry through the mixtape’s songs, visuals, and energy.

Based on what we know so far, the mixtape will showcase:

• Atlanta trap influences
• Collaborations with established Southern artists
• A sharp lyrical perspective from a woman commanding her own lane

The Singles Are Already Making Noise

Several singles from Grady Baby have already dropped, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. Each one has a distinct vibe but shares Anycia’s signature presence and delivery.

1. “No Scrub”

A confident anthem that flips the energy of TLC’s “No Scrubs” into a modern-day clapback. Anycia delivers with icy nonchalance, making it clear she’s not entertaining anything less than what she deserves.

2. “Put Up” ft. Quavo

This one pairs Anycia with one of Atlanta’s biggest names. Quavo brings his melodic swagger, while Anycia keeps it raw and composed. The beat hits hard, and the chemistry is there. “Put Up” has already gotten club spins and traction on TikTok.

3. “Never Need” ft. GloRilla & Karrahbooo

This might be the biggest record on the mixtape. Three of the most important voices in female rap today come together for a track that’s all about independence, boss moves, and cutting off dead weight. GloRilla adds her aggressive Memphis flavor, Karrahbooo delivers with charisma, and Anycia glues it all together with poise.

The Mixtape Trailer Builds the Hype

The Grady Baby trailer isn’t just a casual drop—it’s a statement.

In the clip, we see Anycia in a hospital setting, nodding to the mixtape’s title. Waka Flocka appears, adding a layer of legacy Atlanta energy. Karrahbooo and other local figures also show up, reinforcing the idea that this is a community-backed moment.

It’s clear that Anycia isn’t just dropping a tape. She’s setting the tone for a cultural wave.

Who Is Anycia? Atlanta’s Best-Kept Secret—Until Now

Anycia has been carving out her space with a style that’s slow-burning but hard-hitting. She doesn’t yell. She doesn’t need to. Her words land because she delivers them with the calm authority of someone who knows who she is.

Raised in Atlanta, her music pulls from:

• Trap roots
• Lyrical sharpness
• Street-smart storytelling
• An understated cool that feels unique among rising stars

She’s already collaborated with artists like Latto, Tony Shhnow, and GloRilla, and her buzz in Atlanta has grown to national whispers. With Grady Baby, she’s turning whispers into roars.

Why This Mixtape Matters Right Now

There’s a new generation of Southern women in hip-hop making noise—and Anycia is one of the names leading that charge.

Artists like:

• GloRilla (Memphis)
• Megan Thee Stallion (Houston)
• Sexyy Red (St. Louis)
• Latto (Atlanta)

…are reshaping what it means to be a female rapper in the South. They’re doing it without mimicry, with distinct voices, and with loyalty to their cities.

Grady Baby positions Anycia not just as part of this wave—but as a central figure within it. With strong production, elite features, and a well-thought-out rollout, she’s aiming high.

Early Fan Reaction and Industry Buzz

The anticipation around Grady Baby has been building steadily since early spring. After Put Up dropped, fans immediately began asking when the full project would arrive. The trailer just sealed the deal.

Industry tastemakers and outlets like Lyrical Lemonade, OnTheRadar, and The Progress Report have all highlighted Anycia in the past few months. Spotify and Apple Music have also included her in key editorial playlists like “Feelin’ Myself” and “New in Hip-Hop.”

It’s not just hype—it’s momentum.

What’s Next for Anycia?

With the Grady Baby drop set for July 18, expect to see:

• New visuals
• A possible tour announcement
• Press appearances
• A live show or release party in Atlanta

Anycia is also likely to show up in late-summer festivals and might have something in the works with QC or Atlanta-based collectives, based on rumors circulating in fan communities.

If she can deliver on the mixtape the way she’s delivered on the singles, Grady Baby could position her as a top-tier newcomer in rap for the rest of 2025.

Don’t Sleep on Grady Baby

In a year packed with superstar releases and viral moments, Anycia’s Grady Baby stands out as a moment that’s personal, regional, and resonant.

It’s not just another mixtape. It’s a declaration from a Grady-born rapper ready to lead Atlanta’s next era.

With features from Quavo, GloRilla, and Karrahbooo, plus strong early singles and hometown love, all eyes are on Anycia this July.

Set your calendar. July 18. Grady Baby.
