Straight out of North Carolina, rising hip-hop artist Gangsta Baby95 is making noise with a raw and authentic sound that blends street grit with entrepreneurial ambition. Born Shakira Johnson, her music reflects both hustle and heart, delivering powerful energy and lyrical truths that speak directly to those chasing goals and grinding for a better life.
With her latest mixtape already gaining traction, Gangsta Baby95 is pushing a new wave of street music. Her style is rooted in authenticity and diversity, drawing from the pulse of hip-hop and rap culture while maintaining a voice that is distinctly her own. Whether you’re about your money, focused on growth, or just love real music, there’s something in her catalog that hits home.
Currently signed to Makin Moves Entertainment, she moves with a solid team including her manager SOB GDURTY and multi-talented producer and creative Chryz Beatz, who handles everything from production to visual content. Together, they’re building momentum and refusing to settle for less. In her words, if you’re not focused and grinding, you probably won’t keep up with the team.
Gangsta Baby95’s journey has already seen her open for other artists and earn real money off her craft, a milestone she’s proud of. Her music is fueled by her passion for performance and her love for all genres, but it’s hip-hop that allows her to speak her truth. Overcoming challenges like stage anxiety and owning her Southern roots, she stays true to herself and her story.
Her next single “Heating Up the Streetz” is coming soon, and fans should be ready for more unapologetic heat and real-life bars. Whether it’s through live performances, studio sessions, or consistent engagement on social media, Gangsta Baby95 makes sure her fans know they’re part of the journey.
