It’ll be great to hear that, and more, at Novo. Maiya the Don, another awesome female rapper, is also on the bill. “With over half a billion streams to date, 23-year-old, Alabama born rapper, Flo Milli has taken the world by storm in her short ascent,” reads her bio. “Releasing her first official track ‘Beef FloMix’ on her SoundCloud in late 2018, she had gone viral by early 2019 on TikTok, marking her breakout success and she hasn’t let up since.
