If I asked you to name a hip-hop artist from Pittsburgh, you might be hard-pressed to come up with a name. Now, how about a female hip-hop artist. Even harder, right?
Into the blank, you can insert: Kellee Maize. If you read through Kellee Maize’s bio you find that she moved to Pittsburgh as a teen. Went to college at the University of Pittsburgh. Worked for a Pittsburgh paper and eventually became an Events and Promotions Director. Along with various personal life struggles she says she found an outlet through writing and music. She has also founded a socially conscience, female owned and operated company called “Nakturnal” that has turned into a leading marketing and events organization for the area. There is much more to this story. Read on here: Kellee’s Bio. While you’re there, explore her “archetypes” pictured throughout this post.
Now Kellee Maize is the #1 female hip hop artist on Amazon.com in the last month and has been in the top 10 on Amazon.com for 6 months! Try something for me will ya? Go to google.com and google “female rapper”. See what comes up. Go ahead, I’ll wait…..
What did you see? Kellee Maize right, as number 1? If you didn’t, you didn’t do the search. That’s ok, I’m happy you trust me 🙂
Kellee Maize’s album Aligned Archetypes is a collection of music influenced with House, Reggae, R&B, Hip Hop, and more along with her strong female lyrics. Her spiritualism also spices her music.
You can download the entire album FREE on Amazon.com
Being a Pennsylvania girl and former Pittsburgh dweller myself I’m closing this review with one of my favorite tracks “City of Champions” For all you proud Pittsburghers and Steeler and Penguins fans. (18+ only please due to some profanity).

LoL, I will tell you something… YOU DON’T KNOW. Laura Petrilla has a boyfriend named Matt Macri and…… that is my Husbands son.
Laura is a wonderful photographer, I don’t think she goes anywhere without her camera.
One thing you didn’t tell us is how BEAUTIFUL Kellee is

I’m a new fan of Kellee. The first time I listened to her songs I they blew me away. She’s the only female rapper I like and she’s the most beautiful as well..She’s a very good gymnast also which is why her dance and movements on her videos were graceful. Oh I love Kellee! Too bad I’m not a US resident.;0(
This is a good blog. Keep up all the work. I too love blogging and expressing my opinions. Thanks
