With more female MCs seeing success than ever, the new generation of rap is getting another dynamic duo in the group Girll Codee. Recently seen on Nick Cannon’s Wild & Out, the viral rap sensations added to their already swelling fan base. Performing their hit “Chaa Chaa Chaa,” mainstream audiences got a taste of the group’s hard-hitting East Coast style and lyrics in the drill record. Coming out of Brooklyn, Girll Codee has plenty of competition from men and women alike in the rap game. But the group shows they’re willing to come out swinging, making their mark on the scene. With fellow female superstars like Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, and newcomer Ice Spice, Hii Siddity and Shabigga are ready to make their own unique mark on the scene. Here’s what you need to know about the group, Girll Codee.
Girll Codee’s Music
Also known as Shabiggaa and Hiii Siddity, the group Girll Codee has been putting in consistent work for the past few years to solidify its brand. The group released their debut EP, titled ShaaBiggaa + Hiii Siddity, in July 2022. The tone of the Brooklyn natives’ debut was set by featuring Sway from Sway’s Universe in the intro. The EP received critical acclaim for the group’s clever wordplay and dynamic delivery throughout it. The leading single, “Chaa Chaa Chaa,” was produced by well-known New York producer Ron Brows.
Recently appearing on Nick Cannon’s Wild N’ Out, Shabigga and Hiisadity are no strangers to big stages. In 2022, the group Girll Codee performed at SiriusXM’s HipHop Nation Next Wave Virtual Concert Series and Hot 97’s Summer Jam Festival. They also performed at DJ Self’s Annual Block Party with Power 105. This work ethic led to them making AudioMack’s “‘10 Rappers You Should Know Right Now” list in 2022. The group has been able to keep the forward momentum from these performances going strong into 2023.
The group has no shortage of singles to keep their fans satisfied. Other hits on the new group’s catalog include their bangers “One Time,” “Inside,” and “Codee Word.” On their YouTube channel and Soundcloud page, the group’s “Shestyles” tap into its strong New York roots. Later this month, the group will be headlining the CDX experience in Queens, New York.
300 Entertainment
Currently signed to 300 Entertainment, Girll Codee is a labelmate to hot artists, including Tee Grizzley, Fetty Wap, and Young Thug. Their label also connects the group to fellow female MCs Meg Thee Stallion and PinkPantheress, as well as the legendary Mary J. Blige. The group has big shoes to fill on a label that has released mega hits under its umbrella. With momentum and a solid fan base, however, Girll Codee has the personality and swagger to match the hype of their labelmates. With the success of their EP and work ethic to consistently put on performances, one can expect the group, Girll Codee, to soon reach the same level of success as their counterparts.
Influences and Style
It is easy to see that Shabigga and Hiisadity are products of their burrows. So it should be no surprise that legends of New York Rap influenced the group: the duo named Jadakiss, Styles P, and others as being huge influences on their style. In touch with their roots, the influence of past greats is evident in their sharp flow and street delivery. The group Girll Codee also cited the before-mentioned artists for influencing the duo’s approach to sharing and trading bars on verses.
With drill music being the main sound of New York’s new music scene, the duo’s influence is evident. The Ron Brows-produced “Chaa chaa chaa” could be the next big drill anthem. Their track “Whoa” sports the same hardcore drill style as well. With drill music bringing in more new rap stars, Girll Codee does the style justice with their clever wordplay. With more artists coming from the style, drill music seems like it’s here to stay a while. The same can be said for the group Girll Codee. The group has style and flow fundamental to longevity in the world of New York MCs.
Social Media
Connecting to fans via social media is critical to making it in today’s rap game. Girll Code has that part on lock as well. The group’s main Instagram page has over 50 thousand followers and showcases the career highlights of the duo. Each has its own Instagram pages as well, each giving a look into the lives of each member of Girll Codee. HiiSiddity’s Instagram currently has 32k followers, while Shabigga has 28.8k followers. Also, on other social media platforms, fans of the duo can join them along their journey to success.
