She’s currently a fellowship student and NYU’s Clive Davis School of Recorded music.

Genesis Be, a Mississippi transplant and Hurricane Katrina survivor, is working hard to make her mark as a member of the New York City hip hop scene, preparing her full-length release Mississippi to Manhattan, scheduled for an April, 2011 release. Genesis Be precedes the project with “Like a Movie,” a bouncy, synth-heavy “down South” sounding track, that gives listeners a good idea of what Genesis Be is bringing to the table.

In a male-dominated music industry, Genesis Be remains one of the freshest female voices in hip-hop. With a deep-rooted passion in music and activism, she is changing the platform for independent artists and using the mic to tell the stories of unheard women. Her newest single, “Precious Beyond Measure,” is an ode to domestic violence survivors: empowering women across the blogosphere and opening up more discussion on grassroots activism. Determined to blaze her own path, Genesis epitomizes the definition of a self-made woman with a burgeoning career and yearning to bring others up with her. Hailing from Mississippi, she has a unique story that spans from her family combating ruthless racism in the South to becoming one of the most popular artists at New York University’s Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music.
